F0U0200m fig. 110 F0U0201m fig. 111
With Dualogic gearbox
(for versions/markets where provided)
The engine cuts out if the car stops with the brake pedal
pressed. This condition can be maintained even if the brake
pedal is not pressed, if the gear lever is in position N.
NB The engine can be stopped automatically only after
a speed of about 10 Km/h is reached, to prevent the en-
gine from being repeatedly stopped when driving at walk-
ing pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled by the warning light
fig. 110 on the instrument panel, depending on the con-
figuration.
Engine restarting mode
With manual transmission
Press the clutch pedal to allow the engine to be restarted.
START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
FOREWORD
The Start&Stop device automatically stops the engine each
time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fu-
el consumption, the emission of harmful gases and noise
pollution. The system is activated each time the car is
started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine cut-out mode
With manual transmission
With the vehicle stationary, the engine cuts out with the
gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.
