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.

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.

Remote Battery
Connection Posts
The negative terminal (-) is positioned
next to the passenger side hood lock.
Warning!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause
the battery to explode and could result in
serious injury. Only use the specific ground
point, do not use any other exposed metal
parts.
The positive post (+) can be accessed
by lifting the protective flap.To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect to
the battery of another vehicle or a
portable battery booster pack to the
remote posts of the discharged battery.
Usually, these cables have terminals at
the ends and are identified by different
sheath colors (red = positive, black =
negative).
Jump Starting
Warning!
Failure to follow this jump-starting
procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
Caution!
Failure to follow these procedures could
result in damage to the charging system of
the booster vehicle or the discharged
vehicle.

You can also turn the temperature
control to maximum heat, the mode
control to floor and the blower control
to high. This allows the heater core to
act as a supplement to the radiator
andaidsinremovingheatfromthe
engine cooling system.
Warning!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
Caution!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge
reads “H”, pull over and stop the vehicle.
Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into
the normal range. If the pointer remains on
the “H”, turn the engine off immediately,
and call for service.
If Steam Is Coming From The
Engine Compartment
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine. Wait until the steam
dissipates. Then, open the hood and
start the engine.
If Neither Coolant Nor Steam Is
Escaping
Open the hood and idle the engine until
it cools.
Note:
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and contact your authorized
dealer.
If the engine continues to overheat
or frequently overheats, have the
cooling system inspected. The engine
could be seriously damaged unless
repairs are made. Contact your
authorized dealer.
TOWING A
DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for
towing a disabled vehicle using a
commercial towing service.
Caution!
The vehicle should be transported with
all four wheels OFF the ground on the
flatbed of a roadside assistance vehicle.
Avoid towing with only the front (or rear)
wheels lifted. When towing with only the
front (or rear) wheels lifted, in addition to
damaging the body, it could damage the
transmission.
Do not use sling-type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remain released, while being
towed.
Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
