MANUAL MODE
IMPORTANT For the correct use of the
system, only use your right foot only to
operate the pedals.
❒Press the brake pedal.
❒Start the engine.
❒Push the gear lever towards +
fig. 1to engage first gear (if starting
from Nor Rsimply move the lever to
the central position) or R fig. 2to en-
gage reverse.
❒Release the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal.
❒When driving, push the gear lever to-
wards + fig. 1to engage a higher gear
or towards – fig. 1to engage a low-
er gear. The car is equipped with an electronical-
ly controlled manual gearbox known as
Dualogic™that has two operating modes:
MANUALand AUTO.
The gearbox consists of a conventional
manual transmission equipped with a lever
fig. 1, to which an electronically-con-
trolled hydraulic device that controls the
clutch and engagement of the gears has
been added.

PARKING THE CAR
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 display before releasing the
brake pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVERleave your car
with the gearbox in neutral (N).
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒With the car 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 car at
a standstill (e.g.: parking on a hill); the
clutch could be damaged by overheat-
ing. Use the brake pedal instead and op-
erate 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 poor 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 car is
unexpectedly allowed to roll downhill
with the gearbox in neutral (N) the sys-
tem will automatically engage the gear
best suited to car speed when a gear
shift is requested to allow drive to be
correctly transmitted to the wheels;
❒gear changes can be made, when nec-
essary, with the engine switched off
with the ignition in the MAR position
and the brake pressed. In this case, gear
shifts must be made allowing at least 5
minutes to elapse between one gear
shift and the next to safeguard the op-
eration of the hydraulic system and the
pump in particular. The only gears that
can be engaged in these circumstances
are 1st, reverse (R) and neutral (N);
❒fully depressing the accelerator pedal
quickly activates a function that allows
a lively take off;
❒if there is no ESP system, for departures
on a hill, accelerating gently but fully
straight after having released the hand-
brake or the brake pedal allows the en-
gine to greatly increase the number of
revs and tackle the steepest gradients
with more torque at the wheels. If an
ESP system is fitted, the engine revs in-
crease automatically depending on the
gradient of the road.

CLUTCH OVERTEMPERAT.
SEE HANDBOOK
The message appears in the display to-
gether with a buzzer when the clutch
overheats.
In this situation, limit take-off and gear
shifts or if necessary park (turning off the
engine) until conditions are optimum.
If the message still appears in
the display, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
To safeguard clutch efficien-
cy, do not use the accelerator
to keep the car at a standstill
(e.g.: parking on a hill); the
clutch could be damaged by overheat-
ing. Use the brake pedal instead and
operate the accelerator only when you
are ready to set off.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if
the messages remain in the
display.
IMPORTANT If start-up is requested with
the gearbox faulty, run the “Delayed ig-
nition” procedure (see associated mes-
sages): turn the key to the AVVposition
for at least 7 seconds with the brake de-
pressed and the engine will start. The sys-
tem will be in recovery mode (highest gear
permitted 3
rd, automatic mode not avail-
able). If the engine does not start, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Messages are displayed on-
ly if start-up takes place in a gear other
than neutral (N). DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL
The message is shown in the display to-
gether with a buzzer during an attempt at
starting when the brake pedal is not
pressed.
DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL-
DELAYED IGNITION
The display shows these messages alter-
nately and in sequence together with a
warning buzzer when the system does not
recognise the brake pedal to be opera-
tional during a starting attempt.
In these circumstances, turn the key to the
AVVposition for at least 7 seconds with
the brake depressed and the engine will
start. The system will be in recovery mode
(maximum speed permitted: 3
a).
