PARKING THE VEHICLE
To park safely, it is essential to engage 1
st
gear or reverse (R) gear with your foot
on the brake pedal. If parking on a slope,
operate the brake pedal. It is also essen-
tial to wait until the gear engaged disap-
pears from the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVERleave your vehicle
with the gearbox in neutral (N).GENERAL WARNINGS❒With the vehicle at a standstill and a
gear engaged, keep the brake pedal
pressed until you decide to set off.
Then release the brake and accelerate
gradually;
❒when parked for long periods with the
engine running, it is advisable to keep
the gearbox in (N);
❒to safeguard clutch efficiency, do not
use the accelerator to keep the vehi-
cle at a standstill (e.g.: parking on a hill);
the clutch could be damaged by over-
heating. Use the brake pedal instead
and operate the accelerator only when
you are ready to set off;
❒use second gear only when you need
more control of take-off during ma-
noeuvres on surfaces with low grip;
❒if, with reverse (R) engaged, you need
to engage first speed or vice versa, on-
ly change gear when the vehicle has
come to a stop and the brake pedal is
pressed;;
❒although very inadvisable, if the vehi-
cle is unexpectedly allowed to roll
downhill with the gearbox in neutral
(N) the system will automatically en-
gage the gear best suited to vehicle
speed when a gear shift is requested to
allow drive to be correctly transmitted
to the wheels;
❒If necessary, with the engine off, it is pos-
sible to engage 1st, Ror Nwith the key
in MARposition and the brake pressed.
In this case, gear shifts must be made al-
lowing at least 5 minutes to elapse be-
tween one gear shift and the next to
safeguard the operation of the hydraulic
system and the pump in particular;
❒during hill st arts, accelerate gradually
but fully immediately after releasing the
handbrake or brake pedal to allow the
engine to increase its rpm to a greater
extent and overcome higher gradients
with more torque.
