particularly cold external temperatures, if the
corresponding indication is provided;
battery not sufficiently charged;
particulate filter regeneration in progress (diesel
engines only);
driver's door not shut;

during the first period of use, to initialize the
system.
In the above cases the warning light fig. 95 flashes
and, where provided, an information message is
displayed.
RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting pollutant emissions
and safety purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action on behalf of the
driver if certain conditions are met, including:
battery not sufficiently charged;
reduced braking system vacuum, e.g. following the
brake pedal being pressed repeatedly;
vehicle in motion, for example when driving on
hilly roads;
stopping the engine through the Start&Stop
system for more than about three minutes.
automatic climate control system for adjusting the
thermal comfort level or to enable MAX-DEF
function. With a gear engaged, the engine can only
be automatically restarted by fully depressing the
clutch pedal. The driver is asked to perform this
operation through the warning light fig. 95 flashing in
the instrument panel and, where provided, the
message in the display.
NoteIf the clutch is not pressed, when the three
minutes have elapsed since the engine was stopped,
the engine can be restarted only by using the key.NoteIn cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is active, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or by
placing the gear lever in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the Start&Stop
system, if the driver unfastens his/her seat belt and
opens the driver or the passenger door, the engine
can only be restarted using the key. The driver is
notified of this condition both by a buzzer and the
flashing of the fig. 95 warning light on the instrument
panel and, where provided, an information message
on the display.
"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, as a result of automatic engine restarting, the
driver does not carry out any action on the vehicle
for an extended period (about 3 minutes), the
Start&Stop system stops the engine definitively, to
prevent fuel consumption. The engine can only
be started using the key in such cases.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.

SAFETY
OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety equipment of the
vehicle comprise the following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
front, side airbag (for versions/markets, where
provided).
Read the information given the following pages with
the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that the protection
systems are used in the correct way to guarantee the
maximum possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint adjustment
see the "Head restraints" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle" chapter.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat belts with
three anchor points and a retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates locking the belt in
the event of sharp braking or strong deceleration
due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide freely and to adapt
to the body of the occupant.
In the event of an accident, the belt will lock
reducing the risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected outside the
vehicle. The driver is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants of the vehicle
also respect, the local laws in force in relation to the
use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 103
and insert it into the buckle B, until it clicks into
place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let it rewind for
a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.

To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the
seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
WARNING
Never press button C fig. 103 when
travelling.
The retractor may lock up when the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of sudden braking,
collisions and high-speed bends.
WARNING
Remember that in the event of a violent
impact the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a ver y serious
risk and also represent a serious danger for
the front seat occupants.
The rear seat belts (for versions/markets, where
provided) must be worn as shown in diagram in
fig. 104 or fig. 105.
IMPORTANT The “red band” on the levers A
fig. 106 used for folding the seat will not appear
when the backrest is correctly secured. This red
band indicates that the backrest is not secured.
