STARTING AND DRIVING
112
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only to change gear.
Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal, however lightly. In
some circumstances, the electronic
clutch control could cut in by
interpreting the incorrect driving style
as a fault.
WARNING
112)
Press the clutch pedal fully to shift
gears correctly. It is therefore essential that
there is nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do not get
in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
36) 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 of the gearbox internal components.

The gear engaged is shown on the
display.
The lever has a button (A) fig. 92 which
must be pressed to move the lever to P
or R.
To select the "sequential" mode, move
the lever from D (Drive) to the left: the
po (upper gear) or
–
(lower gear)
can be reached; these are unstable
positions, which means that the lever
always returns to the central position.
To exit from the P (Park) position, press
the brake pedal and button (A) on the
knob.
To shift from position N (Neutral) to
position D (Drive) or R (Reverse), you
need to press the brake pedal.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT accelerate
while shifting from position P (or N) to
another position.
IMPORTANT After selecting a gear,
wait a few seconds before accelerating.
This precaution is particularly important
with a cold engine.
AUTOMATIC DRIVING
MODE
To select the automatic driving mode,
you need to shift the gear lever to D
(Drive): the best ratio is selected by
the electronic transmission control unit
depending on vehicle speed, engine
load (accelerator pedal position) and
gradient of the road.
D can be selected from sequential
operation in any driving conditions.
“Kick-Down” function
To resume speed quickly, when the
accelerator pedal is pressed fully, the
