FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM 8)
This intervenes in the case of an
impact causing:
❒ the fuel supply cut-off with the
engine consequently switching off
❒ automatically unlocking the doors
❒ switching on of all interior lights.
The intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the
display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car
for fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the car or near
the tank area.
After a collision, turn the ignition key to
the STOP position to avoid draining the
battery.

18) 25
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Located in the rear bumper fig. 51
these detect and inform the driver,
through an intermittent acoustic signal,
of the presence of obstacles at the rear
of the car.
As the distance from the obstacle
behind the car decreases, the acoustic
alarm becomes more frequent. The
buzzer becomes continuous when the
distance separating the vehicle from
the obstacle is less than about 30 cm.
It remains constant if the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle
is unchanged.
If this situation concerns the side
sensors, the signal will stop after
approximately 3 seconds to avoid, for
example, indications in the event of
manoeuvres along a wall.
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.

START&STOP
SYSTEM 19)
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE

❒ With manual gearbox:with the
car stationary, the engine stops with
the gearbox in neutral and the
clutch pedal released.
❒ With Dualogic gearbox:the

pressed. This condition can be
maintained even if the brake pedal
is not depressed, if the gear lever is
in position N.
NOTE: The engine can only be
stopped automatically after exceeding
about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
❒ The warning light
Uon the
instrument panel indicates that the
engine has stopped, on some
versions this indication is given by
the display.
Restarting the engine
❒ with manual gearbox:press the
clutch pedal.
