USE OF
THE CAR
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical
purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging especially to turbocharged engines.
Remember that the servobrake and power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING

To return to manual mode, set the gear lever back to A/M.
With the car stationary and the key removed, it is possible to shift the
lever with/without the brake pedal pressed. The system will perform
no actuation when shifting the lever and the gear engaged will be the
one stored before removing the ignition key.
IMPORTANT With the engine off and the car stationary, any error
between lever position and gear engaged is indicated by warning light
(è) coming on for a few seconds on the instrument panel together
with the message on the multifunction display.
