STARTING AND OPERATING
102
System Manual Activation/Deactivation
To  manually  activate/deactivate  the  system,
push  the  button  located  on  the  control  panel
to the left of the steering wheel.Stop/Start Button
System Activation
The activation of the system is indicated by the   symbol  lighting  up  on  the  display.  In  this
condition, the light on the button is off.
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  it  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  condi -
tions  where  the  engine  will  not  autostop
despite the system being active, such as:
Engine still cold.
Extreme cold outside temperature.
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Driver's door not shut.
Driver's seat belt not fastened.
REVERSE (R) 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  system
for more than approximately 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  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 igni -
tion.
This  condition  is  indicated  to  the  driver  both
through a buzzer and a message on the instru-
ment cluster display.
Energy Saving Function
If  the  driver  does  not  carry  out  any  action  for
more  than  three  minutes  after  the  automatic
engine  restart,  the  Stop/Start  system  will
switch  off  the  engine  in  order  to  prevent  fuel
consumption.
In  this  situation,  the  engine  can  only  be
restarted using the ignition device.
NOTE:
It  is  possible  to  keep  the  engine  running  by
deactivating the system.

Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you
will  prefer  the  shoulder  belt  anchorage  in  a
lower  position,  and  if  you  are  taller  than
average,  you  will  prefer  the  shoulder  belt
anchorage  in  a  higher  position.  After  you
release the anchorage button, try to move it up
or down to make sure that it is locked in posi -
tion.
NOTE:
The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage
is  equipped  with  an  Easy  Up  feature.  This
feature allows the shoulder belt anchorage to
be  adjusted  in  the  upward  position  without
pushing  or  squeezing  the  release  button.  To
verify  the  shoulder  belt  anchorage  is  latched,
pull downward on the shoulder belt anchorage
until it is locked into position.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women 
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women Seat  belts  must  be  worn  by  all  occupants
including pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the  event  of  an  accident  is  reduced  for  the
mother  and  the  unborn  child  if  they  are
wearing a seat belt.
Position  the  lap  belt  snug  and  low  below  the
abdomen and  across  the strong  bones  of the
hips. Place the shoulder belt across the chest
and  away  from  the  neck.  Never  place  the
shoulder  belt  behind  the  back  or  under  the
arm.
Seat Belt Pretensioner 
The  front  outboard  seat  belt  system  is
equipped  with  pretensioning  devices  that  are
designed to remove slack from the seat belt in
the  event  of  a  collision.  These  devices  may
improve  the  performance  of  the  seat  belt  by
removing  slack  from  the  seat  belt  early  in  a
collision. Pretensioners work  for  all size occu-
pants, including those in child restraints.
NOTE:
These  devices  are  not  a  substitute  for  proper
seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat
belt  still  must  be  worn  snugly  and  positioned
properly.
The  pretensioners  are  triggered  by  the  Occu
-
pant  Restraint  Controller  (ORC).  Like  the  air
bags, the pretensioners are single use items. A
deployed  pretensioner  or  a  deployed  air  bag
must be replaced immediately.
 WARNING!
Wearing  your  seat  belt  incorrectly  could
make  your  injuries  in  a  collision  much
worse.  You  might  suffer  internal  injuries,
or  you  could  even  slide  out  of  the  seat
belt.  Follow  these  instructions  to  wear
your  seat  belt  safely  and  to  keep  your
passengers safe, too.
Position  the  shoulder  belt  across  the
shoulder  and  chest  with  minimal,  if  any
slack  so  that  it  is  comfortable  and  not
resting  on  your  neck.  The  retractor  will
withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.
Misadjustment  of  the  seat  belt  could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
in a crash.
Always  make  all  seat  belt  height  adjust -
ments when the vehicle is stationary.
