If theECOfunction is used, the display
will show the letter E(Economy) next to
the gear engaged fig. 5.
IMPORTANT If 10 seconds elapse with
the ignition key in the MARposition and
the display does not show the gear en-
gaged, turn the key to the STOPposi-
tion, wait for the display to go out and
then repeat the manoeuvre. If the fault
persists, contact a Fiat Dealership.STARTING THE ENGINE
The system allows the engine to be start-
ed both with a gear engaged and with the
gearbox in neutral (N); the brake pedal
must be pressed first though. It is advis-
able to place the gear lever in neutral (N)
before starting the engine.
After start-up:
❒the gearbox automatically engages neu-
tral (N)
❒the lever A-fig. 1remains in the same
position as prior to switching off the en-
gine
❒the reconfigurable multifunction display
shows the letter (N) and, when the
brake pedal is released, a buzzer signals
any inconsistency between the position
of the lever and the gear engaged
❒the following gears can be engaged 1st,
2ndor reverse (R).
IMPORTANT If there is a starting request
with the gearbox in a position other than
Nand without the brake pedal pressed,
the reconfigurable multifunction display
will show a dedicated message (see
“Warning lights and messages” paragraph).
In this case, repeat the starting manoeu-
vre by pressing by brake pedal. IMPORTANT When the driver’s door is
opened, the system activates the hy-
draulics so that they are prepared for the
subsequent starting of the engine.
IMPORTANT If start-up is requested with
the gearbox faulty, run the “Delayed start-
up” procedure (see associated messages):
if the ignition key is turned to the AVVpo-
sition for at least 7 seconds with the brake
pressed, the engine will be started. The sys-
tem will remain in a recovery situation
(highest permitted gear 3rd, Automatic
mode not available). If the engine does not
start, contact a Fiat Dealership.
fig. 6F0H1243g
If the engine fails to start
with a gear engaged, the po-
tentially dangerous situtation due to
the fact that the gearbox is auto-
matically placed in neutral will be sig-
nalled by a buzzer.
