STOP/START SYSTEM
HANDLINGThe dual-zone automatic climate
control manages the Stop/Start system
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill)
in order to guarantee sufficient comfort
inside the vehicle.
IMPORTANT In particularly severe
climate conditions it is recommended to
limit the use of the Stop/Start system
to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the
windows and accumulation of humidity
with unpleasant smells in the passenger
compartment.
IMPORTANT When the Stop/Start
system is on (engine off and vehicle at a
standstill), the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of the windows misting up
(as the compressor is off).
WARNING
19)It is inadvisable to use internal air
recirculation when the outside temperature
is low, since the windows could mist up
rapidly.
WARNING
5)The climate control system detects the
passenger compartment temperature
using a mean radiant temperature sensor
located in the interior rear view mirror
and protected by a specific cover.
Obstructing the field of view of this sensor
with any object could cause the climate
control system to operate with less than
optimal efficiency.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which
does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances use R12 fluid, which is
incompatible with the components of the
system.

This is a driving assistance system,
which includes a laser sensor, locatedin the upper part of the windscreen
fig. 62, that can detect the presence of
nearby vehicles in the front.
In the event of an imminent collision the
system intervenes by automatically
braking the vehicle to prevent the crash
or reduce its effects.
The system only works if:
❒the ignition key is turned to MAR;
❒the vehicle speed is between 5
and 30 km/h;
❒a forward gear is engaged;
❒the front seat belts are fastened.
Anyway, the system can be deactivated
(then reactivated) through the Setup
Menu on the display.The system activates if there is risk of
imminent collision and the driver does
not press the brake pedal promptly.
If the system detects that the vehicle
ahead could be hit, it may prepare the
vehicle to a possible emergency
braking.
If the driver does not carry out any
action to prevent the collision, the
system may automatically slow down
the vehicle, in order to prepare it to
a possible impact.
Versions with Start&Stop system:at
the end of the automatic braking, the
Stop/Start system will activate.
Versions equipped with manual
gearbox: at the end of the automatic
braking the engine may stall and turn
off, unless the clutch pedal is pressed.
Versions equipped with Dualogic
automatic transmission(for
versions/markets, where provided): at
the end of braking the last gear stored
remains engaged.
IMPORTANT After the vehicle is
stopped, the brake calipers may be
locked for about 2 seconds for safety
reasons. Make sure you press the
brake pedal if the vehicle moves slightly
forwards.61

SAFETY
9-1-2015 12:9 Pagina 68

Driving in special conditionsIn certain driving conditions, such as,
for example: driving around a bend (see
fig. 63) / small vehicles and/or vehicles
not aligned with the driving lane (see fig.
64) / lane change by other vehicles
(see fig. 65) the system operation might
be unexpected or delayed. Pay the
utmost attention, keeping control of the
vehicle to drive in complete safety.
iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring
System)(for versions/markets, where provided)
44) 45) 46) 47) 48) 49)
The iTPMS can monitor the tyre inflation
status through the wheel speed
sensors. The system warns the driver if
one or more tyres are flat by switching
on the warning light
on the
instrument panel and a warning
message on the display, along with an
acoustic signal.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is in any case
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the "Reset" procedure is carried out.
"Reset" procedureThe iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driven on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the "Reset"
procedure is carried out.
The "Reset" procedure must be carried
out:
❒each time tyre pressure is modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the "Reset"
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" chapter).
If the "Reset" procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the "Reset" procedure,
with the vehicle stopped and the
ignition device at MAR, use the Setup
Menu as follows:
❒briefly press the
button: the
display will show "Reset";
❒press the
button or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");
