Start&Stop system activation
A message and a symbol
will appear on the
display when the Start&Stop system is activated. In
this condition, the LED A fig. 105 on the
button
is off.
Start&Stop system deactivation
Versions with reconfigurable multifunction display:
the
symbol appears on the display when the
Start&Stop system is deactivated. The LED A
fig. 105 is on when the system is deactivated.
ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE
CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to comfort,
emission control and safety reasons, the engine
does not stop in some conditions, among which:
❒engine still cold;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒heated rear window activated;
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking
manoeuvres);❒for versions equipped with dual zone automatic
climate control system (for versions/markets,
where provided), if an adequate level of thermal
comfort has not been reached or with MAX-DEF
function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to initialise the
system.
In these cases, the display shows a message and -
for versions/markets, where provided - the symbol
flashes on the display.
WARNING
If the climate comfort is to be
favoured, the Star t&Stop system can be
disabled, for a continuous operation of the
climate control system.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, to limit harmful emissions
and for safety purposes, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the driver if
certain conditions occur, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the brake
pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);

SIDE AIRBAGS (Side bag - Window
bag)The car is fitted with front side bags for driver and
passenger, protecting the chest/pelvis, and window
bags for protecting front and rear passengers’
heads.
Side airbags protect occupants from side impacts of
medium/high severity by placing the bag between
the occupant and the internal parts of the side
structure of the car.
Non-activation of side bags in other types of
collisions (frontal impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc...) is not an indication of system malfunction.
In the event of a side impact, an electronic control
unit triggers the inflation of the bag if required.
The cushion immediately inflates, placing itself
between the occupant's body and structures that
could cause injuries. Immediately after, the cushion
deflates.
Side bags are not a replacement of, but rather a
complement to, seat belts, which you are
recommended to wear at all times, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.
SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The side bags comprises two types of instantly
inflating bags arranged in the front seat backrests
fig. 134. They are designed to protect the chest and
the pelvis of occupants in case of medium-to-high
severity side impacts.WINDOW BAG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This comprises two “curtain” window bags located
behind the side roof cover and are covered by
special trim fig. 135. They are designed to protect
the head of front and rear passengers in the event
of side impacts, thanks to the wide cushion inflation
surface.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of
low-severity side impacts (for which the retaining
action of the seat belts is sufficient).
For this reason, the seat belt must be worn at all
times. In the case of side impacts, the seat belts
hold occupants in the correct position and prevent
them from being thrown out of the car by a very
violent collision.

Therefore, front side bags (for versions/markets,
where provided) are not a replacement of, but
complementary to, seat belts, which you are
recommended to always wear, as specified by law in
Europe and most non-European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the passenger
sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allowing
correct window bag deployment.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at automatic
seat washing stations).
WARNING
Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of the front
seats with covers which are not suitable
for use with side bags.
WARNING
Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door, on the windows and on the
window bag area to avoid injuries during
inflation.
WARNING
Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.
GENERAL WARNINGS
1) The front airbags and/or front side bags (for
versions/markets, where provided) may be deployed
if the car is subject to heavy collisions or accidents
involving the underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
falling of the car in big holes or sags in the road.
2) A small amount of dust will be released when
the airbags are deployed. The dust is harmless and
does not indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the deployed bag and

levels. When transporting particularly large objects,
use a trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature
outside permits, try and use the air vents.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely
affect air drag and fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect fuel consumption
are listed below.
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill
or at idle or high speed: under these conditions
the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing
electrical consumption and emissions. It istherefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly,
avoiding high speeds: in this way the engine will
warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when starting at traffic lights or
before switching off the engine. This and also
double declutching is absolutely pointless on
modern cars and also increases consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road
allow, use a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions an engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed
increases. Avoiding unnecessary braking and
acceleration, which cost in terms of both fuel and
emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects consumption
and emissions: acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque.

CAR INACTIVITYIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be
observed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible
well-ventilated premises and slightly open the
windows;
❒engage a gear and disengage the handbrake;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal and
check charge (see paragraph “Battery - Charge
and electrolyte level check” in chapter
“Maintenance and care”);
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds available commercially;❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and lift
them off the glass;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated
plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car
body to evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off the car
alarm with the remote control.
