Fiat Ducato - START&STOP SYSTEM

WARNING
86) The responsibility for parking
and other dangerous manoeuvres
always and in every case lies
with the driver. While carrying out
these manoeuvres, always make
sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the
area concerned. The parking
sensors are used to assist the
driver, who must never allow his
attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.
START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
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. This improves the efficiency of
the vehicle by reducing fuel
consumption, the emission of harmful
gases and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
Note The engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding a speed
of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
Engine stopping is signalled by the
icon on the display.
Engine restarting mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
