CORRECT USE

OF THE CAR

IMPORTANT Before using the gearshift

control lever, always check the gear en-

gaged on the display (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R).

With the engine off and the car stationary

it is possible to engage all the gears.

With the car stopped and the brake ped-

al pressed, requests to change gear are ac-

cepted only through the control lever on

the centre console.

From any gear (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and with

the car practically stationary, it is possi-

ble to request the engagement of reverse

gear pushing the lever to the right and

then backwards fig. 10. If the car is mov-

ing, the request is not accepted. Wait for

the car to stop and then request gear en-

gagement again.

IMPORTANT Once a gear has been

changed it is necessary to immediately re-

lease the gearshift control lever after mak-

ing the request. A manoeuvre prolonged

(over 10 seconds) will cause the system

to switch automatically to AUTO; every-

thing stops releasing the gearshift lever.

IMPORTANT When parking the car on

a sloping road and engaging a gear to keep

it braked, always check that the display

shows the new gear engaged and wait for

one or two seconds before releasing the

brake pedal to allow complete engage-

ment of the clutch.

Through steering wheel controls

They are placed on the steering wheel

spokes fig. 11 through which, only with

the car on the move (with speed above 5

Km/h), it is possible to shift gear up or

down.

If during operation in the automatic mode

(AUTO) a request to change gear is made,

this is performed without switching the

operating mode.

To allow setting to neutral (N), (with the

car stationary and brake pedal pressed),

move the gearshift lever to the right
