STARTING THE VEHICLE

Notes

At starting, the system sets in 

AUTO

mode.

With the buttons 

1

N

R

and brake

pedal depressed, the 

1

st

speed, neutral

(

N

) and reverse (

R

) can be engaged. 

With the buttons 

1

N

R

and with-

out depressing the brake pedal, no
gear change request is implemented by
the system.

With the levers on the steering wheel
(see paragraph “Levers on the steer-
ing wheel”) and even with the brake
pedal depressed, no gear can be en-
gaged.

If the vehicle is switched off with mode

SPORT

or 

NORMAL

active, the

mode previously set is maintained
when the engine is restarted.

With key extracted from the starting de-
vice, the buttons on the gearbox dash-
board (

fig. 12

) can be pressed with or

without the brake pedal depressed. When
the buttons are pressed, the system will
not perform any activation, therefore the
speed engaged before switching off the en-
gine remains engaged.

With vehicle stationary and key in the

MAR

position (ignition-operated electri-

cal services activated), the screen displays
the speed engaged and the active operat-
ing mode (automatic = 

AUTO

or manu-

al = no display). 

ABARTH 
COMPETIZIONE
TRANSMISSION

The vehicle is equipped with an electron-
ically controlled manual transmission
known as Abarth Competizione trans-
mission which allows two operating log-
ics: 

MANUAL

and 

AUTO

.

The transmission consists of a conven-
tional manual transmission to which an
electronically-controlled electrohydraulic
device that controls the clutch and gear
shifts automatically has been added.
