Remote Start Comfort Systems —
If Equipped
When Remote Start is activated, the
heated steering wheel and driver
heated seat features will automatically
turn on in cold weather.
These features will stay on through the
duration of remote start also until the
ignition is cycled to the ON/RUN mode.
Remote Start Windshield Wiper
De–Icer Activation — If Equipped
When remote start is active and the
outside ambient temperature is less than 39°F (4°C), the Windshield Wiper
De-Icer will be enabled. Exiting remote
start will resume previous operation,
except if the Windshield Wiper De-Icer
is active.
The Windshield Wiper De-Icer timer and
operation will continue.
Extended Park Starting
If the vehicle has not been started or
driven for at least 35 days, it is
advisable to follow the indications
below.
To start the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Briefly push the ignition button
2. If the engine does not start, wait five
seconds and let the starter cool down
and then repeat the starting procedure
3. If the engine does not start after
eight attempts, let the starter cool down
for at least 10 seconds, and then repeat
the starting procedure
If the problem persists, contact your
authorized dealer.
Note:
After prolonged vehicle inactivity,
very difficult starting, that can be
noticed through rapid fatigue of the
starter, might also be due to a partially
flat battery. In this case, see the
"Emergency Starting" section in the
"In Case Of Emergency" chapter.
If Engine Fails To Start
Starting the Engine with Key Fob
Battery Run Down or Drained
If the ignition does not respond when
the button is pushed, the key fob
battery might be run down or drained.
Therefore, the system does not detect
the presence of the key fob in the
vehicle, and will display a dedicated
message.
In this case, follow the instructions
outlined in "Starting With A Discharged
Key Fob Battery" in the "Getting To
Know Your Vehicle" chapter, and start
the engine normally.
Warning!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission cannot be
started this way. Unburned fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle.
136
STARTING AND OPERATING

If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Emergency Starting” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
Caution!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more
than 25 seconds at a time. Wait
60 seconds before trying again.
After Starting —
Warming Up The Engine
Proceed as follows:Travel slowly, letting the engine run at
a reduced RPM, without accelerating
suddenly.
It is recommended to wait until the
digital engine coolant temperature
indicator starts to rise for maximum
performance.
Stopping The Engine
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Park the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic.
2. Engage the PARK (P) mode.
3. With engine idling, press the
START/STOP button on the steering
wheel to STOP the engine.
Note: Do not leave the ignition in ON
mode when the engine is off.
To shut off the engine with vehicle
speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), you
must push and hold the ignition or push
the START/STOP button three times
consecutively within a few seconds.
The engine will shut down, and the
ignition will be placed in the ON mode
With the keyless ignition system, it is
possible to go away from the vehicle
taking the key fob with you, without the
engine switching off. The vehicle will
inform about the absence of the key on
board, only if the doors are closed. Stopping the engine (cycling from the
ON to the STOP position) the
accessories are still powered for about
three minutes, or until a door is opened.
When the ignition is in the STOP/OFF
mode, the window switches remain
active for three minutes. Opening a
front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to
allow the temperature inside the engine
compartment to cool before shutting off
the engine.
Turbocharger Cool
Down
Before switching the engine off, keep it
idling for a few minutes so that the
turbocharger can be suitably lubricated.
This procedure is particularly
recommended after severe driving.
After a full load operation, keep the
engine idling for three to five minutes
before switching it off.
This time allows the lubricating oil and
the engine coolant to eliminate the
excessive heat from combustion
chamber, bearings, inner components
and turbocharger.
137

ELECTRIC PARK
BRAKE
The vehicle is equipped with electric
park brake to guarantee better use and
optimal performance compared to a
manually operated park brake.
The electric parking brake features a
switch located on the central console, a
motor with caliper for each rear wheel,
and an electronic control module.
The electric parking brake can be
engaged in two ways:
Manually, by pulling the switch on the
center console.
Automatically, in "Safe Hold" or "Auto
Park Brake" conditions. Note:
Normally, the electric parking brake is
engaged automatically when the engine
is stopped. This function can be
deactivated/activated on the Connect
system by selecting the following items
in sequence on the main menu:
"Settings", "Driver Assistance" and
"Automatic Parking Brake".
In addition to engaging the electric park
brake, along with steering and
positioning chocks in front of the
wheels (when on a steep slope), you
must always place the vehicle in the
PARK (P) mode before leaving.
Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the
battery must be replaced in order to
unlock the electric park brake.
Engaging The Park Brake Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the
center console to manually engage the
electric park brake when the vehicle is
stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric
parking brake.
A slight movement of the brake pedal
may be detected when engaging the
electric parking brake with the brake
pedal pressed.
With the electric parking brake
engaged, the BRAKE warning light on
the instrument panel and the switch will
illuminate.
Caution!
With the Electronic Parking Brake failure
warning light on, some functions of the
electric parking brake are deactivated. In
this case the driver is responsible for brake
activation and vehicle parking in complete
safety conditions.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the
use of the brake is required with the
vehicle in motion, keep the switch on
the center console pulled as long as the
brake action is necessary.
The BRAKE warning light may switch
on with the hydraulic system
temporarily unavailable, in this case
braking is controlled by the motors.
The brake lights will also automatically
switch on in the same way as for
normal braking with the use of the
brake pedal.
Release the switch on the center
console to stop the braking action with
the vehicle in motion.
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 1.9 mph
(3 km/h) is reached and the switch is
kept pulled, the park brake will
definitively engage.
Note:

Starting from DRIVE (D) mode, to
activate the sequential drive mode,
move the selector to the left (– and +
indication of the trim). The gear
engaged will be shown on the display.
Shifting is made by moving the gear
selector forwards, towards symbol – or
backwards, towards symbol +.
Steering Wheel Shift Paddles —
If Equipped
The gear can be manually shifted also
by using the paddles behind the
steering wheel, pull the right paddle (+)
towards the steering wheel and release
it to engage a higher gear, perform the
same operation with the left paddle (-)
to engage a lower gear.Note:
If only one manual shift is necessary,
the letter (D) will remain on the display
with the engaged gear next to it.
Deactivation
To deactivate the sequential driving mode,
bring the gear selector back in position
DRIVE (D) ("automatic" driving mode).
Warning!
Do not downshift for additional engine
braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle
could skid, causing a collision or personal
injury.
Note:
To select the correct gear for
maximum deceleration (engine brake),
just keep the gear paddle pulled (–):
the transmission goes to an operating
mode in which the vehicle can slow
down easily.
The vehicle will keep the gear
selected by the driver until the safety
conditions allow it.
This means, for example, that the
system will try to prevent the engine
from switching off, automatically
downshifting if the engine speed is too
low. Automatic Transmission
Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored
electronically for abnormal conditions. If
a condition is detected that could result
in transmission damage, Transmission
Limp Home Mode is activated.
In this condition, the transmission stays
in fourth gear, regardless of the selected
gear. Positions PARK (P), REVERSE (R)
and NEUTRAL (N) still work.
The
symbol might light up in the
instrument cluster.
Temporary failure
In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK (P),
if possible. If not, shift the transmission
to NEUTRAL (N).
3. Push and hold the ignition until the
engine turns OFF.
4. Wait for about 10 seconds, then
restart the engine.
5. Shift into the desired gear range. If
the problem is no longer detected, the

STARTING AND OPERATING

STOP/START EVO
Stop/Start Evo
The Stop/Start Evo system
automatically shuts off the engine
during a vehicle stop if the required
conditions are met. Releasing the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal will
automatically restart the engine.
The function was developed to increase
vehicle efficiency by reducing fuel
consumption, gas emissions, and
sound pollution.
Operating Mode
Stopping the Engine
With vehicle at a standstill and brake
pedal pressed, the engine switches off
if the gear selector is in a position other
than REVERSE (R).
The system does not operate when the
gear selector is in REVERSE (R), in
order to making parking maneuvers
easier.
In the event of stops uphill, engine
switching off is disabled to make the
"Hill Start Assist" function available
(works only with running engine).
NOTE: The engine can only be
automatically stopped after having run
at about 6 mph (10 km/h). After an
automatic restart, the vehicle only
needs to exceed a speed of 0.3 mph
(0.5 km/h) to stop the engine.Engine stopping is signaled by the
symbol lighting up on the instrument
cluster display.
Restarting the Engine
To restart the engine, release the brake
pedal.
With brake pressed, if the gear selector
is in automatic mode - DRIVE (D) - the
engine can be restarted by moving the

STARTING AND OPERATING

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. Proceed as follows:
Remove connector from socket to
disconnect sensor (battery status
monitoring) installed on the negative
pole of the battery. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced.
Note:
After setting the ignition to STOP
and having closed the driver side door,
wait at least one minute before
disconnecting the electrical supply from
the battery. When reconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery, make
sure that the ignition is in the STOP
mode and the driver side door is
closed.
