ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
18)
With the device activated, for reasons
of comfort, limiting emissions and
safety, the engine does not stop in
certain conditions, including:
❒ engine still cold;
❒ particularly cold external
temperatures, if the corresponding
indication is provided;
❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ 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 parking manoeuvres);
❒ automatic climate control, if a
suitable thermal comfort level has not
yet been reached or MAX-DEF
function activation;
❒ during the first period of use, to
initialise the system;
❒ if the Hill Descent Control system is
active.
RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful
emissions and safety purposes, the
power unit can restart automatically
without any action by the driver if
certain conditions are met, including:
❒ battery not sufficiently charged;
❒ reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
❒ vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
❒ stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than
about three minutes.
❒ automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can
be automatically restarted only by
fully depressing the clutch pedal.
Note If 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 active, the engine can be restarted
by fully depressing the clutch pedal
or by placing the gear lever in neutral.
Note If the clutch is not pressed, when
approx. three minutes have elapsed
since the engine was stopped, the
engine can only be restarted using the
key.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through
the Start&Stop system, 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 by a buzzer, through the
warning light flashing in the
instrument panel and, where provided,
by a message in the display.
