Chassis 03-7
3.7 Automatic transmission
*
As an option, your van can be equipped with an automatic
transmission (Fiat: Comfort-Matic) which has two methods
of operation: MANUAL/gearshift and AUTO(MATIC). Since
the clutch is engaged and released by means of an electro-
hydraulic unit that is controlled by the transmission‘s control
unit, the clutch pedal is superfluous and, therefore, it has been
removed. Both the selected method of operation as well as the
gear you are driving in are shown on the multifunction display
panel.
FIAT Comfort-Matic
The gearshift lever on the dashboard has three fixed positions:
− the centre position for selecting the forward gear,
− N for selecting the neutral position (engine is idle),
− R for selecting the reverse gear.
Starting from the centre position, which corresponds to the
forward gear, the lever can be moved as follows:
− forwards (- position) to select a lower gear (i.e. shifting
down),
− backwards (+ position) to select a higher gear,
− to the left (A/M position) to select automatic or manual
mode, alternatively.
Please remember that the tow coupling, motorcycle carrier,
pneumatic suspension and/or additional leaf springs must
be entered in the registration document.
Please note that mounting additional equipment reduces
the load your van can carry.
