Special feature of the automatic 
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine 
can restart on its own in order to guar-
antee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
–  the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or 
higher than around 30 °C);
–  the “Clear View” function is activated  (please see “Automatic Climate 
Control” in Section 3);
–  the battery is not sufficiently charged;
–  the vehicle speed is above 3 mph  (5 km/h) (downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake  pedal or braking system require-
ment;
– ...
Deactivating, activating the 
function
Press switch 1  to deactivate the func-
tion. The message “Stop & Start deac-
tivated” will appear on the instrument 
panel and the integrated warning light  2 
on the switch will light up.
Pressing again will reactivate the 
system. The message “Stop & Start ac-
tivated” will appear on the instrument 
panel and the integrated warning light  2 
on switch 1 will go out.
FUNCTION STOP AND START (4/4)
The system reactivates automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started 
using the start button (please refer 
to “Starting, stopping the engine” in 
Section 2).
Operating faults

2.11
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine 
speed being exceeded irrespective of 
the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution 
system” is displayed along with warn-
ing lights 
Ä and ©, consult an 
authorised dealer immediately. 
When driving, depending on the fuel 
grade used, it is possible that white 
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter 
being cleaned automatically, and does 
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the  tank has been completely 
drained, the system must be reprimed 
after the tank is refilled: see information 
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such 
as grass or leaves can come into 
contact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in 
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
–  ensure that the battery is always fully  charged,
–  always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the 
bottom of the tank. 

2.12
Gear lever
Selecting reverse gear
Vehicles with manual gearbox: refer 
to the grid on the gear lever knob 1.
Vehicles with automatic gear-
box:  refer to the information on the 
“Automatic gearbox” in Section 2.

When stationary, and de-
pending on the slope and/or 
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and 
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear) 
for vehicles with a manual gearbox 
or position  P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic gearbox.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while 
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or 
other street furniture) may result in 
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have 
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released 
when driving (red indicator 
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may 
occur.  

2.21
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/7)
Operating conditions
The system should be reset with an 
inflation pressure equal to that given 
on the tyre inflation pressure label. 
Otherwise it risks not giving a reliable 
warning in the event of a significant loss 
of pressure. Please refer to the informa-
tion on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4.
In the following situations, the system 
risk coming into action late or not func-
tioning correctly:
–  system not reset after reinflation or any operation on the wheels;
–  system badly reset: different inflation  pressures from the recommended 
pressures;
–  significant change in load or distribu- tion of load on one side of the vehi-
cle;
–  sporty driving with strong accelera- tion;
–  driving on snowy or slippery surface;
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does 
not take the place of the 
driver. It cannot, therefore, under 
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the 
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including 
the emergency spare wheel, once a 
month.
