ENGINE STARTING
F
AILURE
Starting the engine with electronic
key battery (Keyless Go) run down
or flatIf the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run
down or flat. Therefore, the system
does not detect the presence of the
electronic key on board the vehicle and
displays a dedicated message. In this
case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button using the electronic
key. The ignition device is thus
activated and the engine can be
started.
WARNING
103)Do not try to start the engine by
pouring fuel or other flammable fluid inside
the throttle body air intake: this might
damage the engine and injury people
nearby.
104)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and produces carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
105)The brake servo is not operational
until the engine has been started; therefore
you need to apply much more force than
usual to the brake pedal.

❒"Drive Away Release": the electric
parking brake will automatically
disengage with the driver side seat belt
fastened and the detection of an action
performed by the driver to move the
vehicle (forward gear or reverse gear);
❒"Safe Hold": if the vehicle speed
is lower than 3 km/h and, for the
versions with automatic transmission,
the gear lever is not in P (Park) position
and the driver intention of leaving the
vehicle is detected, the electric parking
brake will automatically engage to
hold the vehicle in safety conditions;
❒"Auto Apply": if the vehicle speed is
lower than 3 km/h, the electric parking
brake will automatically engage with the
gear lever moved to P (Park) position
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with the ignition device at STOP
(versions with manual gearbox). The
LED on the switch turns on together
with the
warning light on the
instrument panel when the parking
brake is engaged and applied to the
wheels. Each automatic parking brake
engagement can be cancelled by
pressing the switch on the central
tunnel and at the same time moving the
gear lever for the automatic
transmission to position P (Park) or the
ignition device to STOP (versions with
manual gearbox).
SAFE HOLDIt is a safety function that automatically
engages
the electric parking brake in
the event of a dangerous condition for
the vehicle.
If:
❒the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h;
❒the gear lever is not at P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission);
❒the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
❒the driver side door is open;
❒no attempted operation of the brake
pedal or, on versions with manual
gearbox, the clutch pedal or the
accelerator pedal is detected;
the electric parking brake engages
automatically to prevent vehicle
movement.
The Safe Hold function can be
temporarily disabled by pressing the
switch located on the central tunnel
and the brake pedal at the same time,
with the vehicle stationary and the
driver side door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the vehicle speed reaches
20 km/h or the ignition device is moved
to STOP and then to MAR.
WARNING
107)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, steer the wheels,
engage the parking brake, the first gear if
uphill and the reverse if downhill; on
versions with automatic transmission, set
the lever to "P". If the vehicle is parked
on a steep slope, you need to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
108)Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Always remove the key when
leaving the vehicle and take it with you.
109)The electric parking brake must
always be engaged when leaving
the vehicle.
