HOW TO MOVE OFF
MANUAL MODE
IMPORTANT To use the system proper-
ly, you are recommended to press ped-
als with the right foot only.
❒Press the brake pedal.
❒Start the engine.
❒Move the gear lever to + (UP) fig. 1to
engage the first gear (if the gear lever is
at Nor Rjust move the gear lever to
central position) or to R fig. 2to en-
gage reverse.
❒Release the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal.
❒When running move the gear lever to
+(UP) fig. 1for upshifting or to –
(DOWN) fig. 1for downshifting.
DUALOGIC GEARBOX
The car is fitted with a mechanical gear-
box with electronic control called “Dua-
logic” that can work in two operating
modes: MANUALand AUTO.
This gearbox consists of a conventional
mechanical transmission with gearshift
lever A-fig. 1, to which an electronical-
ly-operated electrohydraulic device has
been added which controls automatically
the clutch and gear engagement.

PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely nec-
essary to press the brake pedal and to en-
gage first gear or reverse (R) and also the
hand brake if the car is on a slope; it is al-
so absolutely necessary to wait for the re-
configurable multifunction display show-
ing the gear engaged to go off before re-
leasing the brake pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVERleave the car with
gearbox in neutral (N).IMPORTANT NOTES
❒With the car stopped and a gear en-
gaged always keep the brake pedal
pressed until deciding to move off, then
release the brake pedal and accelerate
gradually;
❒during prolonged halts with the engine
running it is advisable to keep the gear-
box in neutral (N);
❒to safeguard clutch efficiency do not use
the accelerator to keep the car still
(e.g.: when the car is parked facing up-
hill) since clutch overheating could dam-
age it. Use the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal only when decid-
ing to move off;
❒use second gear only when more con-
trol is needed for moving off manoeu-
vres with poor grip;
❒if, in reverse gear (R), first gear is to
be engaged or vice versa, shift gear on-
ly when the car is stopped completely
and with the brake pedal pressed;
❒though highly inadvisable, if when trav-
elling downhill for some unexpected
reason the car is set to neutral (N),
when the engagement of a gear is re-
quested, the system automatically en-
gages the best gear in relation to the
speed of the car to allow the correct
transmission of torque to the wheels;
❒when needed, with the engine off you
can change gear with the key on MAR
and the brake pedal depressed. In this
case the instructions required to change
the gear letting at least 5 seconds pass
between one gear shift and the other, in
order to preserve proper operation of
the hydraulic system and of the pump
in particular;
❒pressing the accelerator pedal quickly
flat out and deactivating the ASR, if any,
will obtain a “brilliant” start;
❒when starting uphill, if you gradually, yet
steadily, accelerate just after releasing
the handbrake or the brake pedal, the
engine is able to increase the number
of revs providing more traction to the
wheels to cope with steep slopes.

when the car is parked facing
uphill) since clutch overheating could
damage it. Use the brake pedal and
press the accelerator pedal only when
deciding to move off.
