SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the Start&Stop sys-
tem, if the driver unfastens his/her seat belt and opens the
driver’s door or the passenger door, the engine can be
restarted only by using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition both by a buzzer
and through an information message on the display and
(for versions/markets where provided) by the warning light
fig. 121 on the instrument panel flashing.
ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(For versions/markets where provided)
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. In these cases, the en-
gine can be restarted only by using the key.
NB: In any case, it is possible to keep the engine running
by deactivating the Start&Stop system. RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions and safe-
ty purposes, the power unit can restart automatically with-
out any action on behalf of the driver if certain conditions
are met, including:
❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒extreme braking system pressure, e.g. following the
brake pedal being pressed repeatedly;
❒ car moving around, for example when driving on hilly
roads;
❒stopping the engine through the Start&Stop system for
more than about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for establishing a com-
fortable temperature or enabling the MAX – DEF func-
tion.
With a gear engaged, the engine can be automatically
restarted only by fully depressing the clutch pedal. The dri-
ver is asked to perform this operation through a message
on the instrument panel and, where provided, by the warn-
ing light fig. 121 on the instrument panel flashing
NB: If the clutch is not pressed, when the three minutes
have elapsed since the engine was stopped, the engine can
be restarted only by using the key.
NB: In cases when the engine stops and this is not desired,
due for example to the clutch pedal being released sharply
with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system is activat-
ed, the engine can be restarted by fully depressing the
clutch pedal or by putting the gear lever into neutral.KNOWING

IMPORTANT
Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the car is switched off and the key is
in the OFF position. Follow the instructions on the
plate near the front crossmember fig. 124a. It is
advisable to extract the key when there are oth-
er people in the car. The car should always be
evacuated after the key has been removed or
turned to the OFF position. During refuelling op-
erations, it is necessary to make sure that the car
is off with the ignition key in the OFF position.
WARNING
For cars with a robotised transmission, if
the engine cuts out automatically on a
gradient, it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-) without
releasing the brake pedal. For vehicles with Dua-
logic transmission, where the Hill Holder function
is present, if the engine cuts out automatically
whilst on a hill, it is advisable to restart it by mov-
ing the gear lever towards (+) or towards (-) with-
out releasing the brake pedal to make the Hill
Holder function – which is active only when the
engine is running – available.
WARNING
If you want to prioritise climate comfort,
the Start&Stop system can be disabled to
allow continuous operation of the climate control
system.

PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets where provided)
The parking sensors are located on the rear bumper
fig. 125 and their function is to inform the driver, through
an intermittent beeping, of the presence of obstacles be-
hind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse
gear is engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases,
the beeping becomes more frequent.
AUDIBLE WARNING
When reverse gear is engaged an intermittent beeping is
automatically activated.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The “GSI” system (Gear Shift Indicator) advises the driver
to change gear via a signal on the instrument panel (see fig.
124b).
Through the GSI, where provided, the driver is advised
that changing gear will reduce fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards cutting fuel con-
sumption, it is recommended to follow the suggestions
of the Gear Shift Indicator.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
NSHIFT) is shown on the dis-
play, the GSI is advising the driver to select a higher gear,
while the SHIFT DOWN icon (
OSHIFT) suggests a low-
er gear should be engaged.
