MANUAL OPERATION
(MANUAL)
In this operating mode, the decision to
change gear is left to the driver who de-
cides the most appropriate moment.
To change gears in MANUAL operating
mode proceed as follows:
❒move lever to +(UP) to engage high-
er gear;
or
❒move lever to –(DOWN) to engage
lower gear.
The system will cut in automatically pre-
venting gearshifting only if the request to
change gear will impair regular engine and
transmission operation; the system will al-
so shift down gears automatically when
the engine (e.g.: at slowing down).
The system will warn the driver that the
required gear will not be engaged through
the sound of the buzzer and a dedicated
message on the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display (see paragraph “Warning lights
and messages”).AUTOMATIC OPERATION
(AUTO)
For engaging/disengaging the automatic
operating mode (AUTO), move lever
A-fig. 1 to A/M: automatic mode activa-
tion is indicated by message AUTOand
gear engaged on the reconfigurable multi-
function display fig. 4.
fig. 4F0H1243g
With AUTOmode active, the system de-
cides to change gear depending on car
speed, engine rpm and how the accelera-
tor pedal is pressed. It is however possi-
ble to change gears with the control lever
without deactivating the automatic mode:
this function called “gear advice” suspends
the automatic mode for the time required
to change gear.

If the ECOfunction is on, the reconfig-
urable multifunction display will show
E(Economy) next to the gear engaged
fig. 5.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds (with ig-
nition key to MAR) the display does not
show the gear engaged, turn the ignition
key to STOPand wait for the display to
turn off, then repeat system switch on. If
the fault persists, contact Fiat Dealership.STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine can be started either with a
gear engaged or in neutral (N), always
press the brake pedal first.
After starting:
❒the gearbox sets to neutral (N) auto-
matically
❒lever A-fig. 1keeps the same position
it had before starting
❒the reconfigurable multifunction display
shows (N) and a buzzer will indicate if
the lever position and the gear engaged
are not matching
❒gears that can be engaged are: 1st, 2nd
or reverse (R) gear.IMPORTANT When trying to start the
engine with gearbox not in neutral (any
gearshift lever position other than N) and
without pressing the brake pedal, the re-
configurable multifunction display will
show a dedicated message (see paragraph
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
event, to start the engine just repeat op-
eration keeping the brake pedal pressed.
IMPORTANT When the driver’s door is
opened, the system starts the hydraulic
part to prepare it for when the engine is
started.
fig. 6F0H1243g
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.
