Automatic Restarting Conditions; Safety Functions; "Energy Saving" Function - Fiat TIPO Handbuch

Automatic restarting conditions

Due to comfort, emission control and safety reasons, the engine can restart automatically without
any intervention by the driver, under special conditions, such as:
Battery not sufficiently charged.

Low braking system vacuum (for example after the brake pedal has been pressed

repeatedly).
 Car moving (for example on roads with a gradient).
 Engine stopped by the S&S for more than about three minutes.
With a gear engaged, the automatic restarting of the engine is only permitted by fully depressing
the clutch pedal. This operation is requested through a message on the instrument panel.
NOTE:
If the clutch is not pressed, when three minutes have elapsed since the engine was stopped,
the engine can only be restarted using the key.
In the case of an undesired engine stopping as a result of sudden clutch pedal release with gear
engaged, if the S&S system is active, the engine can be automatically restarted by fully pressing
the clutch pedal or placing the gearbox in neutral.

Safety functions

When the engine is stopped by the S&S system, if the driver releases their seat belt and opens the
driver side or passenger side door, the engine can be restarted only using the key.

"Energy saving" function

If, as a result of the engine automatic restarting, the driver does not execute any action on the car
for a long time, the S&S system stops the engine once and for all, to prevent fuel consumption. In
this case restarting requires the key.
Important
The car should always be left after the key has been removed or turned to the OFF position.
Before opening the bonnet, make sure that the car is switched off and the key is in the OFF
position. It is advisable to remove the key when there are other people in the car.
When refuelling, make sure that the car is switched off with the key in the OFF position. It is
advisable to remove the key when there are other people in the car.
If you want to make the most of climate comfort, the Start&Stop system can be deactivated to allow
continuous operation of the climate control system.
