FOREWORD
The Start&Stopdevice automatically stops
the engine each time the vehicle is stationary
and starts it again when the driver is about to
engage a gear.
This improves the efficiency of the vehicle by
reducing consumption, the emission of harm-
ful gases and noise pollution.
The system is activated each time the car is
started

OPERATING MODES
Engine cut out mode
With manual transmission
With the vehicle stationary, the engine cuts out
with the gearbox in neutral and the clutch ped-
al released.
With robotized transmission
The engine cuts out if the car stops with the
brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained even if the
brake pedal is not pressed, if the gear lever is
in position N.
Note:The engine can only be stopped auto-
matically after a speed of about 10 Km/h is
reached, to prevent the engine from being re-
peatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled by the
warning light fig. 1in the instrument panel, de-
pending on the trim level.
Engine restarting mode
With normal transmission
Press the clutch pedal to allow the engine to
be restarted.
With robotized transmission
If the gear lever is in position N, place it in any
other gear, otherwise release the brake pedal
or move the gear lever to (+), (-) or R.MANUAL ACTIVATION AND
DEACTIVATION
The device can be activated/deactivated via the
button in the dashboard A-fig. 2.
In addition, on some versions additional infor-
mation concerning the deactivation or activa-
tion of the Start&Stop is given through a mes-
sage in the display

NO ENGINE CUT OUT
CONDITIONS
With the device activated, for reasons of com-
fort, limiting emissions and safety, the power
unit does not stop in certain conditions, in-
cluding:
❒ engine still cold;
❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ heated rear windscreen activated;
❒ particulate filter regeneration in progress
(diesel engines only);
❒ driver’s door not shut;
❒ driver’s seat belt not fastened;
❒ reverse gear engaged (for example, for park-
ing manoeuvres);
❒ automatic climate control, if a suitable ther-
mal comfort level has not yet been reached
or to enable MAX – DEF function.
❒ extremely cold external temperatures, if
the corresponding indication is provided.
In the above cases there is an information mes-
sage in the display and, where provided, the
warning light fig. 1will flash in the instrument
panel.
Note:The engine does not stop during the ini-
tial period needed to initialize the system and
no warning is reported.RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting pollutant emis-
sions and safety purposes, the power unit can
restart automatically without any action on be-
half of the driver if certain conditions are met,
including:
❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ reduced braking system vacuum, e.g. fol-
lowing the brake pedal being pressed re-
peatedly;
❒ car moving, for example in cases when dri-
ving on roads with a gradient;
❒ stopping the engine through the Start&Stop
system for more than about three minutes;
❒ automatic climate control system for ad-
justing the warmth or to enable MAX – DEF
function.
With a gear engaged, the automatic restarting
of the engine is only permitted by fully de-
pressing the clutch pedal. The driver is asked
to perform this operation through a message
in the instrument panel and, where provided,
by the warning light fig. 1in the instrument
panel flashing
Note:If the clutch is not pressed, when the
three minutes have elapsed since the engine
was stopped, the engine can only be restart-
ed using the key.
Note:In cases when the engine stops and this
is not desired, due for example to the clutch ped-
al being released sharply with a gear engaged, if
the Start&Stop system is activated, the engine
can be restarted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal or by placing the gear lever in neutral.SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut out conditions through the
Start&Stop system, if the driver unfastens their
seat belt and opens the driver’s door or the
passenger door, the engine can only be restart-
ed using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition both
by a buzzer and through an information mes-
sage in the display and, where provided, by the
warning light fig. 1in the instrument panel
flashing.
ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for certain versions/markets)
If, after the engine has been automatically
restarted, the driver does not take any action
for a period of about 3 minutes, the Start&Stop
system will definitively stop the engine to avoid
fuel consumption. The engine can only be start-
ed using the key in such cases.
Note:In any case it is possible to keep the
engine running by deactivating the Start&Stop
system.

sure that the car is switched off
and the key is in the OFF position. Comply
with what is shown on the plate fig. 6 at-
tached to the inside of the bonnet (relating
