IMPORTANT  
121) Never use position P (Park) instead  
of the parking brake. Always engage the  
parking brake when parking the car to  
avoid the accidental movement of the car.  
122) If the P (Park) position is not  
engaged, the car could move and injure  
people. Before leaving the car, make sure  
that the gear lever is in position P and that  
the parking brake is engaged.  
123) Do not shift the gear lever to N  
(Neutral) and do not stop the engine when  
driving on a downhill road. This type of  
driving is dangerous and reduces the  
possibility of intervening in the case of  
variation of the road traffic or surface. You  
risk losing control of your car and causing  
accidents.  
(where provided)  
To activate/deactivate the system  
manually, press the fig. 126 button  
located on the dashboard.  
125)  
The Start&Stop system automatically  
stops the heat engine each time the car  
is stationary and starts it again when  
the driver wants to move off.  
In this way, the car efficiency is  
increased, by reducing consumption,  
emission of harmful gases and noise  
pollution.  
Start&Stop mode will be active  
whenever the engine is started.  
OPERATING MODE  
Heat engine stopping mode  
With the car stopped, the heat engine  
stops with transmission in neutral and  
clutch pedal released.

124) Never leave children unattended in  
the car. Always remove the ignition key  
when leaving the car and take the key with  
you.  
System activation  
System activation is indicated by the  
warning light  
turning on.  
System deactivation  
System deactivation is indicated by the  
warning light turning on.  
Heat engine restarting mode  
To restart the heat engine, press the  
clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal.  
If the car 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.  
WARNING  
35) Before moving the gear lever from  
position P (Park), bring the starter switch  
to position MAR and press the brake  
pedal. Otherwise, the gear lever may get  
damaged.  
36) If the car is on a slope, always engage  
the parking brake BEFORE moving the  
shift lever to the P position.

STOPPING CONDITIONS  
38)  
When the system is active, for a higher  
comfort and safety, and to reduce  
emissions, the heat engine does not  
stop in some conditions, such as:  
temperature of the traditional battery  
very high or very low;

With gear engaged, automatic heat  
engine restarting is possible only by  
fully pressing the clutch pedal (for  
versions with manual transmission).  
For versions with manual  
transmission: with a gear engaged,  
automatic heat engine restarting is  
possible only by fully pressing the  
clutch pedal. The operation is indicated  
by a message on the display and, on  
some versions, the activation of the

automatic climate control system, if an  
adequate level of thermal comfort has  
not been reached or with MAX-DEF  
function active;  
WARNING In some conditions (for  
example with small gradients and brake  
pedal not fully depressed), heat engine  
switching off is not deactivated. In this  
case, fully depress the brake pedal to  
make the "Hill Hold" function available  
and restart the heat engine, using the

.
NOTE In cases of undesired heat  
engine stops, due for example to the  
clutch pedal being released abruptly  
with a gear engaged, if the system is  
activated, the engine can be restarted  
by fully depressing the clutch pedal or  
by bringing the gearshifting lever in  
neutral. If the clutch is not pressed,  
after 3 minutes from the heat engine  
stopping, the engine can be restarted  
only using the ignition device.  
SAFETY FUNCTIONS  
When the heat 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  
heat engine can be restarted only by  
using the ignition device.  
This condition is indicated to the driver  
both through a buzzer and a message  
on the display.  
during the first period of use, to  
initialise the system.

CONDITIONS  
ENERGY SAVING  
FUNCTION  
If, following the automatic engine  
restarting, the driver does not carry out  
any action for more than 3 minutes,  
the Start&Stop system stops the  
heat engine definitely, to prevent fuel  
consumption.  
Due to comfort, emission control and  
safety reasons, the heat engine can  
restart automatically without any action  
by the driver, based on the conditions  
of the car and the passenger  
compartment air conditioning system.  
the brake pedal is released (and the  
gear lever is not at N or P);  
the lever is shifted to an unstable  
position: +, or R;  
the gear lever is shifted from D to the  
left in "Sequential mode".

In these cases, the heat engine can  
only be started using the ignition  
device.  
When the device is enabled, it is  
indicated by the symbol being  
shown on the display and the last

for a continuous operation of the climate  
control system.  
NOTE In any case, it is possible to  
keep the heat engine running by  
deactivating the system.  
SPEED LIMITER  
If the electronic Cruise Control has  
been activated previously, button (1)  
fig. 127 must be pressed twice.  
The first press switches off the function  
activated previously; the second press  
activates the Speed Limiter.

DESCRIPTION  
IRREGULAR OPERATION  
In the event of malfunction, the  
Start&Stop system is deactivated.  
For failure indications, see the "Warning  
lights and messages" paragraph,  
"Knowing the instrument panel"  
chapter.  
This device allows the speed of the car  
to be limited to values which can be set  
by the driver.  
The maximum speed can be set both  
with car stationary and in motion. The  
minimum speed that can be set is  
30 km/h.  
SPEED LIMIT  
PROGRAMMING  
The speed limit can be programmed  
without necessarily activating the  
device.  
When the device is active, the car  
speed depends on the pressure  
at the accelerator pedal, until the  
programmed speed limit is reached  
(see "Speed limit programming"  
paragraph).  
IMPORTANT  
To store a speed value higher than  
the displayed one, briefly press the  
SET + button. Each time the button  
is pressed, the speed increases by  
about 1 km/h while keeping the button  
pressed, the speed increases by  
5 km/h intervals.  
125) Before opening the bonnet, make  
sure that the engine is off and that the  
starter switch is in the STOP position.  
Follow the indications on the plate  
underneath the bonnet. We recommend  
that you remove the key from the ignition if  
other people remain in the vehicle. The  
vehicle should always be left after the key  
has been removed or turned to the STOP  
position. During refuelling, make sure that  
the engine is off (ignition device in the  
STOP position).  
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE  
To activate the device press button (1)  
fig. 127 on the steering wheel.  
To store a lower speed value than the  
displayed one, press the SET button.  
Each time the button is pressed, the  
speed decreases by about 1 km/h  
while keeping the button pressed, the  
speed decreases by 5 km/h intervals.
