USE OF
THE CAR
To change gears properly
you must push the clutch
pedal fully down. It is therefore es-
sential that there is nothing under
the pedals: make sure mats are ly-
ing flat and do not get in the way
of the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your
hand resting on the gear
lever as the force exerted,
even if slight, could lead
over time to premature wear on the
gearbox internal components.

Petrol versions
❒
lift the sliding ring A-fig. 2 or

just shift the lever to the right and
back.
To engage 6th gear (where re-
quired)
, press the lever to the right to

IMPORTANT The clutch pedal must
be used for gear shift only. Never

slightly, on the clutch pedal. For ver-
sions / markets where applicable, the
clutch pedal control electronics can
intervene interpreting the wrong drive
style as a fault.
