BUZZER WARNING
For safety reasons, a buzzer warning
sounds when the car is parked with the
gearbox in neutral (N) (the warning
sounds when the ignition key is turned to
STOP);
With the car at a standstill, engine running
and (1), (2) or (R) gear engaged, the sys-
tem turns on the buzzer and automatical-
ly shifts the gearbox to neutral (N) when:
❒the accelerator and/or brake pedals are
not operated for at least 3 minutes;
❒the brake pedal is pressed for longer
than 10 minutes;
❒the driver’s door is opened and the ac-
celerator and brake are not operated
for at least 1.5 seconds;
❒a fault has been detected in the gear-
box.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 reconfigurable multifunc-
tion 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);
❒in order to safeguard the efficiency of
the clutch, do not use the accelerator
to keep the car still (e.g.: stopped on a
hill); if the clutch overheats it could
damage it so use the brake pedal or the
handbrake and only use the acceleratoe
pedal when setting 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 car 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;

ing. Use the brake pedal instead and
operate the accelerator only when you
are ready to set off.
