With an automatic gearbox: with the brake

pedal depressed or the gear selector in

position N, with the vehicle stationary.

an audible signal.

Time counter

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode

– With the selector in position D or M: with the

brake pedal released.

A time counter adds up the time spent in standby

during the journey. It is reset to zero every time

the ignition is switched on.

All of the instrument panel warning lamps come

on if there is a fault.

Depending on version, a warning message

may also be displayed, prompting you to place

the gear selector in position N and depress the

brake pedal.

– With the selector in position N and the brake

pedal released: with the selector at D or M.

– With the selector in position P and the brake

pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N, D

or M.

Special cases:

The engine will not go into standby if the

conditions for operation are not met and in the

following cases:

► Switch oﬀ the ignition then start the engine

again with the key or the "START/STOP" button.

– Reverse gear engaged.

– Steep slope (ascending or descending).

– Vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h)

since the last engine start (with the key or the

START/STOP button).

– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature

in the passenger compartment.

Special cases

12 V battery

The Stop & Start system requires a

12 V battery of speciﬁc technology and

speciﬁcation.

All work must be carried out only by a Fiat

Dealership or a qualiﬁed workshop

The engine will restart automatically if the

conditions for operation are met again and in the

following cases:

– With a manual gearbox: vehicle speed

exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h) or 2 mph (3 km/h)

(depending on engine).

– Demisting active.

In these cases, this indicator lamp ﬂashes

for a few seconds, then goes oﬀ.

– With an automatic gearbox, vehicle speed

exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h).

Tyre under-inﬂation

detection

This system automatically checks the pressures

of the tyres while driving.

It compares the information given by the wheel

speed sensors with reference values, which

must be reinitialised every time the tyre

pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.

After the engine has restarted, STOP

mode is not available until the vehicle

has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).

In these cases, this indicator lamp ﬂashes

for a few seconds, then goes oﬀ.

Malfunctions

During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode

is not available for a few seconds after

coming out of reverse gear or turning the

steering wheel.

Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:

In the event of a system malfunction, this

warning lamp ﬂashes on the instrument

panel.

Driving

The system triggers an alert as soon as it

detects a drop in the inﬂation pressure of one or

more tyres.

Snow chains

Driving too slowly may not ensure

optimum monitoring.

The system does not have to be

reinitialised after ﬁtting or removing snow

chains.

The alert is not immediately triggered in the

event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre

blow-out. This is because analysis of the

values read by the wheel's speed sensors

can take several minutes.

The alert may be delayed at speeds below

25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty

driving mode.

Under-inﬂation detection does not

replace the need for vigilance on the part

of the driver.

This system does not avoid the need to

regularly check the tyre pressures (including

the spare wheel) as well as before a long

journey.

Driving with under-inﬂated tyres, particularly

in adverse conditions (heavy load, high

speed, long journey):

Spare wheel

The steel spare wheel does not have an

under-inﬂation detection sensor.

Under-inﬂation alert

This is signalled by the ﬁxed illumination

of this warning lamp, accompanied by an

audible signal and, depending on equipment, the

display of a message.

The alert is kept active until the system is

reinitialised.

– worsens road-holding,

– lengthens braking distances,

– causes premature wear of the tyres,

– increases fuel consumption.

Reinitialisation

► The system must be reinitialised after any

adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,

and after changing one or more wheels.

► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive

steering movements and avoid sudden braking.

► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do

so.

The inﬂation pressures speciﬁed for the

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.

For more information on the Identiﬁcation

markings, refer to the corresponding section.

The loss of pressure detected may not

always cause visible deformation of the

tyre.

Before reinitialising the system, make

sure that the pressures of the four tyres

are correct for the conditions of use of the

vehicle and conform to the values written on

the tyre pressure label.

Do not rely on just a visual check.

► Using a compressor, such as the one in

the temporary puncture repair kit, check the

pressures of all four tyres when cold.

► If it is not possible to carry out this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.

► In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel

(depending on equipment).

Check the pressures of the four tyres before

performing the reinitialisation.

The system does not advise if a pressure is

incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Checking tyre pressures

This check should be done when the

tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or

after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at

moderate speeds).

Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures

shown on the label.
