Starting and Driving
After starting the engine, the idle speed
is controlled automatically and will
decrease as the engine warms up.
Engine Start Failure
CAUTION!
•
Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started this
way. Moreover, unburned fuel could
enter the catalytic converter and once
the engine has started, ignite and
damage the converter and vehicle.
•
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain
a start from a booster battery or
the battery in another vehicle. This
type of start can be dangerous if
done improperly. See "Auxiliary Jump
Start Procedure" in section "In an
Emergency" for further information.
NOTE:
Using the vehicle improperly, as in
case of repeated starts to travel short
distances, there may be consequences
to the engine.
Flooded Engine Clearing
If the engine fails to start after you have
followed the described procedures, it
may be flooded. To clear any excess
fuel, move the transmission in P (Park)
mode. Press and hold the brake pedal,
push the accelerator all the way to the
floor and hold it, then press and release
the START/STOP button once. The
starter will engage automatically, run
for 10 seconds, and then disengage.
Once this occurs, release the accelerator
pedal and the brake pedal, wait 10 to 15
seconds, then repeat the normal starting
of the engine procedure.
Driving with a Cold Engine
Start-off slowly, avoiding sudden
acceleration and rev the engine up at
low medium speeds. High performance
driving should be avoided until the
engine temperature reaches 149-158 °F
(65-70 °C).
Engine Turn Off
With the transmission in P (Park), D
(Drive) or R (Reverse) mode (see "Dual
Clutch Transmission" in this section) and
vehicle standstill, press and release the
START/STOP button to switch off the
engine. A burst on the accelerator pedal
before turning off the engine has no
purpose and increases fuel consumption.
WARNING!
Never leave a vehicle without
confirming the P (Park) mode; it could
move and cause injuries to people
nearby.
NOTE:
If the ignition device is left in the ON
(engine not running) position and the
transmission is in P (Park) mode, the
system will automatically time out after
30 minutes of inactivity and the ignition
device will switch to STOP position.
"Panic Stop" Strategy
In panic conditions, with engine running,
the "Panic Stop" strategy can manage
the situation stopping the engine in the
following modes:
• Quickly pushing 3 times or one long
press of the START/STOP button.
• The engine stops and the dual clutch
transmission moves in N (Neutral)
mode under specific RPM. When in
stop conditions, the gearbox moves
automatically in P (Park) mode.
