START&STOP
SYSTEM
19)
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
❒ With manual gearbox: with the
car stationary, the engine stops with
the gearbox in neutral and the
clutch pedal released.
❒ With Dualogic gearbox: the
engine stops if the vehicle is at a
standstill and the brake pedal is
pressed. This condition can be
maintained even if the brake pedal
is not depressed, if the gear lever is
in position N.
NOTE: The engine can only be
stopped automatically after exceeding
about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when

engine has stopped, on some
versions this indication is given by
the display.
Restarting the engine

lever is in position N, place it in any
