How to Disable the Stop&Start Function

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Engine

The stop&start function turns off the engine when you stop in traffic or at a traffic light, then restarts the engine as soon as you release the clutch, aiming to reduce emissions. This function can also be disabled using a specific button on the dashboard, identifiable by an 'A' surrounded by an arrow. There are also conditions where the function automatically deactivates, such as when the battery loses efficiency, and the message 'STOP&START FUNCTION NOT AVAILABLE' appears on the instrument display.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
