When the “maximum heating” setting is
selected, the heater produces a
boosted heat level for the first minutes
of operation. After this, the heat lowers
to reach the normal temperature level
for the selected function.
The “minimum heating” setting is
automatically deactivated once a
certain period of time has elapsed. This
varies on a case-by-case basis, in
accordance with the specific operating
conditions.
Note: To preserve the battery charge,
this function cannot be activated when
the engine is off.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Sport Seat Head
Restraints
Your vehicle may be equipped with
non-adjustable head restraints on the
driver's and passenger's seatbacks.
The non-adjustable head restraints
consist of a trimmed foam covering
over the upper structure of the
seatbacks and are intended to help
protect you and the passenger from
neck injury.
Adjust the seatbacks to their upright,
on-road positions so that the head
restraint is positioned as close as
possible to the back of your head.
Warning!
Be certain that the seatback is locked
securely into position. Otherwise, the seat
will not provide the proper stability for
passengers. An improperly latched
seatback could cause serious injury.
Front Head Restraints
(Adjustments) —
If Equipped
The front head restraints may be
height-adjustable. To adjust them,
operate as follows:
Upward adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment: push button
and lower the head restraint.
Warning!
All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are
placed in their proper positions in order to
minimize the risk of neck injury in the event
of a crash.
Head restraints should never be
adjusted while the vehicle is in motion.
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints
improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the event
of a collision.
Note:
To allow maximum visibility for the
driver, if the head restraints are not
used, lower the head restraints to the
fully down position.

restraints can be adjusted. The head
restraint of the center seat, if equipped,
cannot be adjusted, only removed.

For downward adjustment, push in the
adjustment button and lower the head
restraint while holding the button to the
desired height.
Note: To allow maximum visibility for
the driver, if the head restraints are not
in use, lower the head restraints to the
fully down position.

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.
