OPERATION WITH
ENGINE OFF
IMPORTANT
Before using the gearshift
control lever, always check the gear en-
gaged on the display (
N
,
1
,
2
,
3
,
4
,
5
,
6
,
R
).
With the vehicle stopped and the brake
pedal pressed, requests to change gear are
accepted
only
through the control lever on
the centre console.
To request gearshifting, in addition to keep-
ing the brake pedal pressed:
– to shift upwards (
+
) (
fig. 101
) push
the lever “forwards” (if the car is in first gear
it shifts to second, if in second it shifts to
third and so on up to fifth). If the system
is in neutral (
N
) or reverse (
R
) moving the
lever forwards causes the engagement of
first gear (
1
).
– to shift downwards (
–
) (
fig. 101
)
push the lever backwards (if the car is in
fifth gear it shifts to fourth, if in fourth it
shifts to third and so on down to first gear).
To allow setting the transmission to neu-
tral (
N
), starting from the condition with
the vehicle stationary and brake pedal
pressed, move the gearshift lever to the right
(
fig. 102
). The neutral control (
N
) is ac-
cepted with car speed below 60 km/h.
From any gear (
N
,
1
,
2
,
3
,
4
,
5
,
6
) and
with the car practically stationary, it is pos-
sible to request the engagement of reverse
gear pushing the lever to the right and then
backwards (
fig. 103
). If the car is moving,
the request is not accepted. Wait for the car
to stop and then request gear engagement
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) causes the system
switches automatically to
CITY
.
IMPORTANT
When parking the vehicle
on a sloping road and engaging a gear to
keep it braked, always check that the re-
configurable multifunction display shows the
new gear engaged and wait for one or two
seconds before releasing the brake pedal to
allow complete engagement of the clutch.
