R - Reverse
Shift the lever to R with the car
stationary, the engine running idle
and the brake pedal pressed.
When the lever is at R backup
lights turn on and a buzzer will
sound for about 4 seconds to warn
other people that reversing is in
progress.
IMPORTANT Even with the lever
in position R , the reverse gear can-
not be engaged if the car speed is
higher than the established value.
When the speed is reduced, the
reverse gear can be engaged and it
remains engaged even if the car
speed overcomes that limit.
N - Neutral
This is the position to be used when
the car must be pushed or towed.
D - Forward gear (automatic)
This is the position to be used when
all automatic gearbox functions are
required.
The electronic control unit controls
that the five gears are engaged auto-
matically according to car speed,
engine rpm, accelerator pedal posi-
tion and pressing speed, together
with the main driving conditions
such as hills, slopes, curves and
braking.
Indeed, the electronic automatic
gearbox is able to choose, according
to the type of driving adopted by the
driver, different programmes subdi-
vided into comfortable driving,
economy driving and sporty driving,
with shift points ranging between
low and high.
Before leaving the car,
check that the electric
parking brake (EPB) is
on. Shift the lever to position P
even when the car is left with the
engine running.
In case of emergency (failures, flat
battery, etc.), it is possible to shift
the lever from position
P to N , D or
R by pressing lever A ( fig. 141 ) set
under the gear lever mask. To reach
the lever, remove the press-fit odd-
ment compartment shelf
B in front
of the gearshift lever.
