Coasting function
(2.0 T4 MAir versions only)
The vehicle is equipped with a coasting
function, which allows you to save fuel.
The function is automatically activated
by the driver when the accelerator is
released below a certain vehicle speed,
without simultaneously pressing the
brake pedal.
The coasting function is active when the
accelerator pedal is released only if the
speed is below 150 km/h.
In this condition, the engine returns to
its idle state and the car decelerates
without the engine applying resistance
to the wheels. The engine is reconnected
to the transmission system the next time
the accelerator pedal is pressed.
DRIVING MODES
"Normal" Mode
On/off
It is activated by rotating the selector to
the letter "n", the displays light up in blue.
To deactivate the Normal mode, move
the selector to another mode ("d" or "a").
"Dynamic" Mode
On/off
It is activated by rotating the selector to
the letter "d", the displays light up in red.
To deactivate the Dynamic mode, move
the selector to "n", Normal mode.
"Advanced Efficiency" Mode
On/off
It is activated by rotating the selector
to the letter "a", the displays light up in
green.
To deactivate the Advanced Efficiency
mode, move the selector to "n", Normal
mode.
WARNING The selector will always be
positioned in Normal “n” mode when the
engine is started.
START & STOP EVO
The Stop/Start Evo automatically stops
the engine each time the car 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 car at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the
gear lever is in a position other than R.
The system does not operate when the
gear lever is in R, for making parking
manoeuvres easier.
In the event of stops uphill, engine
switching off is disabled to make the "Hill
Start Assist" function available (works
only with running engine).
NOTE The engine can only be
automatically stopped after having run
at about 6.2 mph (10 km/h).
After an automatic restart, to stop the
engine you only need to move the car
(exceed a speed of 0.3 mph - 0.5 km/h).
Engine stopping is signalled by the
symbol lighting up on the instrument
panel display.
