When the Start&Stop function is active (engine off
at zero car speed), the climate control system will
request the reactivation of the engine if the inside
temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if
the user requests maximum cooling – LO – or
quick demisting – MAX DEF).
With Start&Stop function active (engine off at
zero car speed), the air flow rate (if managed
automatically) is reduced in order to maintain the
passenger compartment comfort conditions for
as long as possible.
The climate control system control unit attempts
to manage the decreased comfort caused by
stopping the engine as far as possible (switching
off the compressor and engine coolant pump) but
the operation of the climate control system can
be favoured by deactivating the Start&Stop
function using the dedicated button on the
dashboard.
NOTEIn particularly severe climate conditions it
is recommended to limit the use of the Start&Stop
function 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.
EXTERNAL LIGHTSThe left-hand stalk operates most of the external
lights.
The ignition key has to be in the MAR position for
the exterior lights to come on.
The instrument panel and the various dashboard
controls will come on with the external lights.
DAY LIGHTS (DRL)
"Daytime Running Lights"
(for versions/markets, where provided)
With the ignition key turned to MAR-ON and ring
nut A fig. 34 turned to positionOthe daytime
running lights are automatically activated; the
other lights and interior lighting remain off.
If the daytime running lights are deactivated, no
light comes on when ring nut A is turned toO.
