System Manual
Activation/Deactivation
To manually activate/deactivate the
system, push the button located in the
control panel on the left of the steering
wheel.
System Activation
The activation of the system is indicated
by the
symbol lighting up on the
display. In this condition, the light on the
buttonisoff.
System Deactivation
A message will appear on the display
when the system is deactivated. In this
condition, the light on the button is on.
Note: Each time the engine is started,
the system is activated regardless of
where was when it was previously
switched off.
Possible Reasons The
Engine Does Not
Autostop
For higher comfort and increased
safety, and to reduce emissions, there
are certain conditions where the engine
will not stop despite the system being
active, such as:
Engine still cold.
Especially cold outside temperature.
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Driver's door not shut.
Driver's seat belt not fastened.
Reverse gear engaged (e.g. for
parking maneuvers).
With the automatic climate control
active, an adequate cabin heating or
cooling comfort has not been reached
or with MAX-DEF function active.
During the first period of use, to
initialize the system.
Steering angle beyond threshold.
Engine Restarting
Conditions
Due to comfort, emission control and
safety reasons, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the
driver, under special conditions, such
as:
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly).
Vehicle moving (e.g. when driving on
roads with a grade).
Engine stopping by the Stop/Start
Evo system for more than approx. three
minutes.
With the automatic climate control
active, an adjustment in cabin heating
or cooling is made or with MAX-DEF
function active.
Safety Functions
When the engine is stopped through
the Stop/Start Evo system, if the driver
releases their seat belt, opens the
driver's or passenger's door, or opens
the hood from inside the vehicle, the
engine can be restarted only by using
the ignition.
This condition is indicated to the driver
both through a buzzer and a message
on the instrument cluster display.
Irregular Operation
In the event of malfunction, the
Stop/Start Evo system is deactivated.
For failure indications, see the "Warning
Lights and Messages" paragraph,
"Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel" chapter.
Vehicle Inactivity
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention
must be paid to the disconnection of
the battery power supply.
