“LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF while the hill start
assist is operating. The hill start assist
could stop operating, which could result in
an accident.
IMPORTANT
69)Do not over-rely on the hill start assist
to prevent backwards movement of the
vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even
when hill start assist is activated, the
vehicle may move backwards if the brake
pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the
vehicle is heavily loaded, if the road is very
steep or slippery or if the vehicle tows a
trailer, etc.
70)The hill start assist is not designed to
keep the vehicle stopped in place on uphill
slopes for more than 2 seconds.
71)If the warning is turn on, the hill start
assist will not operate. Start off carefully.
72)Park your vehicle in a safe place and
stop the engine. Restart the engine and
check whether the warning indicator went
out, in which case the hill start assist is
again working normally. If they warning
remains displayed or reappear frequently, it
is not necessary to stop the vehicle
immediately, but the vehicle should be
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
73)Do not stop the engine while the
vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine
would make the steering wheel extremely
hard to turn, possibly resulting in an
accident.74)Do not leave the steering wheel turned
all the way in one direction. This can cause
damage to the power steering system.

TRANSMISSION
SPORT MODE 5A/T
(where provided)
During running-in period or immediately
after reconnection of the battery cable,
there may be a case where gear shifts
are not made smoothly. This does not
indicate a faulty transmission. Gear
shifts will become smooth after the
transmission has been shifted several
times by the electronic control system.
Selector lever operation
The transmission has 5 forward gears
and 1 reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected
automatically, depending on the speed
of the vehicle and the position of the
accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the
main gate (B) and the manual gate (C).
While depressing
the brake pedal,
move the selector
lever through the
gate.
Move the selector
lever through the
gate.
92)
To avoid erroneous operation, move the
selector lever firmly into each position
and briefly hold it there. Always check
the position shown by the selector lever
position display after moving the
selector lever.
If the brake pedal is not depressed and
held, the shift-lock device activates to
prevent the selector lever from being
moved from the “P” (PARK) position.
When the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” (PARK)
position
When the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to
another position while the brake pedal
is pressed and held down with the
ignition switch at the “ON” position or
the operation mode in ON, the battery
may be flat or the shift-lock mechanism
may be malfunctioning. Immediately
have your vehicle checked by a Fiat
Dealership.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Selector lever positions
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to
prevent the vehicle from moving. The
engine can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
93)
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is
disengaged. It is the same as the
neutral position on a manual
transmission, and should only be used
when the vehicle is stationary for an
extended length of time during driving,
such as in a traffic jam.
94) 95) 96)
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and
highway driving. The transmission will
automatically change its gear
depending on road and driving
conditions.
97)
Sport mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by
gently pushing the selector lever from
the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual
gate (A). To return to “D” range
operation, gently push the selector lever
back into the main gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be
made rapidly simply by moving the
selector lever backward and forward.
For vehicles equipped with the shift
paddles, shift paddles at the steering
wheel can also be used to perform
gearshift. In contrast to a manual
transmission, the sports mode allows
gear shifts with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
If your vehicle is equipped with the shift
paddles, you can shift into sports mode
with shift paddles when the selector
lever is in the main gate as well. Also,
you can return to the “D” range
operation in any of following ways.
When returning to “D” range operation,
the selector lever position display will
change to “D” (DRIVE) position.
Pull the + (SHIFT UP) side shift
paddle forward (toward the driver) for
over 2 seconds.
Stop the vehicle.

Only the 5 forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the selector lever to the “R”
(REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as
required.
To maintain good running performance,
the transmission may refuse to perform
an upshift when the selector lever or the
shift paddles is moved to the “+ (SHIFT
