STARTING AND DRIVING -> START&STOP SYSTEM for Your Fiat 500 X 4 Door First Generation (2014-2024)

To remove the key, turn it to MAR and  
then to STOP.  
START&STOP  
SYSTEM  
WARNING  
"RECOVERY"  
FUNCTIONS  
38) If the car is on a gradient, always  
engage the electric parking brake BEFORE  
placing the gear lever in P.  
The Start&Stop system automatically  
stops the engine each time the vehicle  
is stationary and starts it again when  
the driver wants to move off.  
In case of a gear lever failure, the  
instrument panel display could show a  
dedicated message recommending that  
the driver continues driving without  
shifting the lever to the P position.  
In this case, the transmission will  
maintain the forward gear (with reduced  
performance) even if the lever is  
positioned at R or N.  
39) Engage reverse only with the car  
stationary, engine at idling speed and  
accelerator pedal fully released.  
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is  
increased, by reducing consumption,  
dangerous gas emissions and noise  
pollution.  
40) Using the paddles incorrectly (paddles  
pushed towards the dashboard) could  
break them.  
117)  
Once the lever is positioned at P, or  
after shutting down the vehicle,  
selecting R or any other forward gear  
will no longer be possible. In this case,  
contact a Fiat Dealership.

OPERATING MODE

Versions with automatic transmission  
116) Never leave children unattended in  
the car. Always remove the ignition key  
when leaving the car and take the key with  
you.  
With vehicle at a standstill and brake  
pedal pressed, the engine switches off  
if the gear lever is in a position other  
than R.  
In the event of stops uphill, engine  
switching off is disabled to make the  
"Hill Hold Control" function available  
(works only with running engine).

SAFETY FUNCTIONS  
To restart the engine, press the clutch

the Start&Stop system can be  
reactivated by pressing the fig. 96  
button. When exiting from the "Traction"  
mode, the Start&Stop system enters  
the previously set status.  
When the engine is stopped through  
the Start&Stop system, if the driver  
releases their seat belt or opens the  
driver's or passenger's door, the engine  
can be restarted only by using the  
ignition device.  
If the vehicle does not start when the  
clutch is pressed, place the gear lever  
in neutral and repeat the procedure.  
If the problem persists, contact a Fiat  
Dealership.  
This condition is indicated to the driver  
both through a buzzer and a message  
on the display.

To restart the engine, release the brake  
pedal.

in automatic mode - D (Drive) - the  
engine can be restarted by moving the  
lever to R (Reverse) or N (Neutral) or  
"AutoStick".  
WARNING  
117) If the battery needs to be replaced,  
always contact a Fiat Dealership. Replace  
the battery using a new one of the same  
type (HEAVY DUTY) and having the same  
specifications.  
With brake pressed, if the gear lever is  
in "AutoStick" mode, the engine can be  
restarted by moving the lever to "+" or  
"–", or R (Reverse) or N (Neutral).  
When the engine has been stopped  
automatically, keeping the brake pedal  
pressed, the brake can be released  
keeping the engine off by quickly  
shifting the gear lever to P (Park).  
To restart the engine, just move the  
lever out of position P.
