panel display via a screen with the

and a dedicated message

IDLE COASTING
(where provided)
The "Idle coasting" is a function that
allows you to run with the engine
disconnected from the wheels by
automatically acting on the clutch. This
allows you to drive along a stretch of
road without using the engine brake to
slow down the car, in order to reduce
fuel consumption.
The engine remains running at idle
speed allowing the functions of the car
to be kept active (e.g.: conventional
battery charging, air conditioning, etc.).
The function intervenes autonomously in
brake and accelerator release conditions
from a speed of 25 km/h and up to
160 km/h.
The icon
appears on the instrument
panel and disappears when the function
is deactivated.
Instantaneous fuel consumption is not
shown on the instrument panel display
when the "Idle Coasting" function is
activate and the dedicated message
indicating that "Sailing" mode is
activated appears.
The "Idle coasting" function deactivation
is automatic and occurs in the following
cases:
Deactivating the Stop/Start system
(see the "Stop/Start system" chapter in
this section).
Engaging the SPORT mode (see the
"SPORT mode" chapter in this section).
Special driving situations (e.g.
downhill driving, ESC system
intervention, high lateral acceleration,
etc.)
Conventional battery disconnection. In
this case the following procedure must
be carried out:
start the engine;
with the automatic transmission
gear lever in position P (Park) with
the engine warm (temperature
indicator around the central
position), accelerate until you reach
the rev limiter;
never press the brake during the
manoeuvre;
fully release the accelerator pedal
and wait for the engine to return to
idling speed;
wait at least 2 seconds;
switch off the engine.
