STARTING AND DRIVING
140
vehicle to avoid the acciental movement of
the vehicle.
136) If the P (Park) position is not
engaged, the car could move and injure
people. Before leaving the car, make sure
that the transmission is in position P and
that the electric parking brake is engaged.
137) Putting the transmission to a position
different from P (Park) or N (Neutral)
without pressing the brake is dangerous.
The car could quickly accelerate forwards
or backwards. You risk losing control
of your car and crash into something
or someone. Only engage a gear while
keeping the brake pedal fully pressed.
138) When you get out of the car, always
remove the ignition key and lock all the
doors.
139) Do not put the gear in N (Neutral)
and do not stop the motor when driving
on a downhill road. This type of driving
is dangerous and reduces the possibility
of intervening in the case of variation of
the road traffic or surface. You risk losing
control of your car and causing accidents.
IMPORTANT
36)
Failure to observe the following
precautions can have serious
consequences for the transmission. Put
the transmission in the P (Park) position
only when the car is completely stationary;
engage R (Reverse) or disengage only
when the car is completely stationary.
Keep the brake pedal fully pressed before
engaging any gear.
WHEN PARKED
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
with your foot on the brake pedal,
put the transmission to position P and,
if you are on a sloping road, leave the
wheels steered. Before releasing the
brake pedal, wait until P appears on
the display;
apply the electric parking brake and
stop the motor;
block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope. Do not leave the ignition device
in the ENGINE position to prevent
running down the 12V battery.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car
before having put the transmission in P.
ELECTRIC PARKING
BRAKE (EPB)
The electric parking brake (EPB)
guarantees better use and optimal
performance compared to a manually
operated parking brake. The electric
parking brake features a switch,
located on the central tunnel (A)
fig. 134, a motor with calliper for each
rear wheel and an electronic control
module.

IMPORTANT Always check that the
electric parking brake is applied before
leaving the car.
IMPORTANT In addition to parking
the car with the parking brake always
engaged, the wheel steered, chocks or
stones positioned in front of the wheels
(when on a steep slope), you must
always put the transmission in P (Park).
WARNING Should the 12V battery of
the car be faulty, to unlock the electric
parking brake the battery must be
replaced. The parking brake can be
engaged in two ways: manually by
pressing the switch on the central
tunnel fig. 134; automatically in "Safe
Hold" or "Auto Park Brake" conditions.
