the instrument panel screen. In some
circumstances, it is necessary to turn
the steering wheel slightly while pressing
the "START/STOP" button to assist
unlocking of the steering; a message
warns you when this is needed.
For Diesel vehicles, in
temperatures below zero the
engine will not start until the
preheater warning lamp has
gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on
after pressing "START/STOP",
you should hold the brake or
clutch pedal down until the
warning lamp goes off and do
not press the START/STOP
button again.
Place the gear selector lever at N for
vehicles with an electronic gearbox, P or N
with an automatic gearbox, or neutral with
a manual gearbox.
With the electronic key inside the vehicle
(it is not necessary to put it in the reader),
press the brake pedal for vehicles with
an electronic or automatic gearbox, or
fully declutch for vehicles with a manual
gearbox.
The presence in the defined zone of the
electronic key for the "Keyless Entry
and Starting" system is essential.
For safety reasons, do not leave this
zone with the vehicle running.
