STOP/START SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function is developed to
reduce fuel consumption. The system will
stop the engine automatically during a
vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met. Releasing the brake pedal, clutch pedal
or pressing the accelerator pedal will auto -
matically re-start the engine.
Operating Modes
Engine Stopping Mode
Models equipped with a manual transmis -
sion:
With the vehicle stopped, the engine stops
with transmission in neutral and clutch
pedal released.
Models equipped with an automatic trans -
mission:
With vehicle at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the gear
selector is in a position other than REVERSE.
In the event of stops uphill, the engine
switching will be disabled to activate the
"Hill Start Assist" function (works only with
the engine running).
The warning light on the instrument panel
switches on to signal that the engine was
stopped.
WARNING!
Before opening the hood, make sure that
the engine is off and that the ignition is in
the OFF mode. Follow the indications on
the plate underneath the hood. We
recommend that you remove the key fob if
other people remain in the vehicle. The
vehicle should only be exited after the key
fob has been removed and the ignition is
in the OFF mode. During refueling, make
sure that the engine is off (ignition device
in the OFF mode).
CAUTION!
When replacing the battery, always contact
your authorized dealer. Replace the battery
with the same type (HEAVY DUTY) and
with the same specifications.
