MOVING OFF THE CAR
The engine can be started either with 1st,
2nd (recommended on poor grip roads),
or reverse (R) gear.
Starting in 1
st gear
❒press the brake pedal
❒with lever in (N) or (R) move the lever
to central position
❒with lever in central position yet, move
the lever to +(UP)
❒release the brake pedal and press the
accelerator (pressing the accelerator
pedal quickly flat out will obtain a “bril-
liant” start).Starting in 2
ndgear
❒press the brake pedal
❒with lever in (N) or (R) move the lever
to central position and then to +(UP)
❒with lever in central position yet, move
the lever twice to +(UP)
❒release the brake pedal and press the
accelerator.
Starting in reverse (R)
❒press the brake pedal (car stationary)
❒move the lever to (R)
❒release the brake pedal and press the
accelerator.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);
❒when the car is parked facing uphill, to
safeguard clutch efficiency do not use
the accelerator to keep the car still
since clutch overheating could damage
it. Use the brake pedal and press the ac-
celerator pedal only when deciding 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 travelling downhill with a gear en-
gaged and the accelerator released (if
the car is moving), beyond a pre-es-
tablished speed, the system engages the
clutch automatically to give the car ad-
equate engine braking.
