SYSTEM ACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to MAR, after
about one second, the display shows the
gear engaged (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R): from this
moment onwards, the Selespeed system
accepts gearshift commands.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds the dis-
play does not show the gear engaged, turn
the ignition key to STOP, and wait for the
display to turn off, then repeat system
switch on. If the fault persists, contact Fi-
at Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the driver’s door is
opened the system starts the hydraulic
part of the system to prepare it for when
the engine is started. MOVING-OFF
With the engine on and the car stationary,
the gears that can be engaged for moving
off are only first (1), second (2) and/or re-
verse (R).
To engage them it is possible, keeping the
brake pedal pressed, to use only the
gearshift lever on the central console.
Moving off of the car is obtained releas-
ing the brake pedal and gradually press-
ing the accelerator pedal.
With the ASR system off (pressing the
ASR off button) moving off will be more
“brilliant”.
IMPORTANT Reverse gear (R) can be en-
gaged from any of the following other
gears: neutral (N), first (1) or second (2)
only when the car is stationary.IMPORTANT If when shifting from re-
verse (R) / first (1) or neutral (N) / first (1)
sticking occurs on the first gear, the sys-
tem automatically engages second gear (2).
This is not to be considered as a fault as
it is part of the operating logic. For the
same reason, in the case of sticking on re-
verse gear, the system partially closes the
clutch to allow gear engagement; in this
case the engagement of reverse gear (R)
will not be as smooth as usual.
After a request to shift gear
with the car stationary, be-
fore pressing the accelerator pedal to
make the car move, the driver must
always check the display to see that
the gear engaged is the one required.

ENGINE STARTING
The engine can be started either with a
gear engaged or with the gearbox in neu-
tral (N).
After starting, the gearbox sets to neutral
automatically, the display shows the letter
N and the system selects last operating
mode (MANUAL or AUTO) before
switching off.
IMPORTANT With gear engaged, fully de-
press the brake pedal to allow engine
starting.SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
AND SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to STOPthe en-
gine turns off.
The gear selected before switching off the
engine remains engaged.
If the engine is stopped with the gearbox
in neutral (N), letter N flashing on the dis-
play calls the driver’s attention so that the
car can be put in safety conditions engag-
ing first gear (1) or reverse (R).
In this case, the ignition key should be
turned to MARand, with the brake ped-
al pressed, engage first gear (1) or reverse
(R).
If the engine fails to start
with the gear engaged, the
driver is informed of the potentially
dangerous situation (due to the fact
that the gearbox is in neutral) by the
buzzer.
WARNING
NEVER leave the car with
the gear in neutral (N).

FAILURE INDICATIONS
Failures of the Selespeed gearbox are
shown by warning light
ton the in-
strument panel, together with the relevant
message (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In case of system failure:
❒a buzzer will sound;
❒where provided, the AUTO mode will
be engaged automatically to make it
possible to reach the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership and have the fault eliminated.
In the case of a fault, the system only al-
lows the engagement of first gear (1), sec-
ond gear (2) and reverse (R). IMPORTANT If the engine is stopped with
the AUTO mode engaged, this will be
stored by the system. Indeed, the next
time the engine is started, this condition
will still be active.
IMPORTANT Should the engine go off
with the car on the move, the next time
it is started the warning light
Ymay
come on. In this case check that the warn-
ing light
Ygoes off turning the engine off
and on again with the car stationary. If not,
contact Fiat Dealership.
Never remove the ignition
key when the car is moving.
In addition to the fact that the Sele-
speed system would not work prop-
erly up to stopping the car, the steer-
ing wheel would lock automatically
the first time it is turned.
WARNING
It is absolutely necessary to
turn off the engine and then
turn off the Selespeed system keep-
ing the brake pedal pressed: ONLY
release the pedal when the display on
the instrument panel has gone out.
WARNING
In the event of a gearbox
fault (to any component),
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the system checked
over.
