USING THE MANUAL GEARBOXTo engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gearshifting lever into one of the required positions
(the diagram for gear engagement is shown on the knob,
fig. 117).
IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear
when it has stopped moving completely. With the engine
running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal
fully pressed before engaging reverse to prevent damage
to the gears and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift the sliding ring A un-
der the knob and shift the lever to the right and back. Four or five clicks are generally enough when the car is on
level ground while nine or ten may be required if the car
is on a steep slope or laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key
is at MAR, the instrument panel warning light
x
will
turn on.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❒
slightly lift the handbrake and press the release button
A;
❒
keep button A pressed and lower the lever. The warn-
ing light
x
on the instrument panel will turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally.
