GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a special indication on the
display.
Through the GSI, the driver is informed
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT (SHIFT UP) icon
is
shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher
gear, while the SHIFT (SHIFT DOWN)
icon
advises the driver to engage
a lower gear.
The indication on the instrument panel
remains until the driver shifts gear or the
driving conditions return to a situation
where gearshifting is not required to
improve consumption.
ANALOGUE PRESSURE
GAUGE
The car is equipped with a pressure
gauge for measuring the turbocharger
pressure by means of the analogue
indicator 1 fig. 46.
Depending on the model, the indicator
1 scale may reach 2.0 bar.
NoteThe turbocharger supercharging
pressure reading on the pressure gauge
should never exceed 1 – 1.2 bar even
in the case of sporty driving and
maximum performance.Sport mode display
If the SPORT function is used, the
display 2 fig. 46 inside the turbocharger
pressure gauge will show the word
“SPORT”.

"Instant info" and "Best average
consumption".
Both memories can be reset: i.e. start
of a new journey.
"Trip A" can be used to display the
values relating to:
Range (where present)
Distance travelled A
Average consumption A
Instantaneous fuel consumption
(where present)
Average speed A
Trip time A (driving time)

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

STARTING THE CAR
REMARKS
On starting, the system sets itself to
AUTO mode.
Using the 1, N, R buttons with the
brake pedal pressed, 1stgear, neutral
(N) or reverse (R) can be engaged.
Using the 1, N, R buttons without
pressing the brake pedal, the system
does not change gear.
The levers on the steering wheel will
not engage any gear, even with the
brake pedal pressed.
If the car is switched off with SPORT
or NORMAL modes active, the mode
previously set is kept when the engine
is restarted.
OPERATING MODE
The gearbox/transmission can function
in two operating modes:
the first is manual (MANUAL). In this
mode the driver decides directly when
to shift, using the "+” fig. 76 lever on
the steering wheel to shift up, or the "–"
to shift down. If the request is accepted
by the system, when the gear change
is completed, the display shows the
new gear engaged.
the second, completely automatic
(AUTO), in which the system decides
when to change gear. A gear change
can be requested using the control
lever without having to switch off this
mode: this function known as "gear
suggestion" suspends the automatic
mode for the time necessary to carry
out the gear selection requested by the
driver.
20)
To switch automatic operation (AUTO)
on/off, press the button A/M on the
gearbox panel fig. 75; activation is
signalled by the word AUTO and the
gear engaged shown on the display.
When AUTO mode is deactivated, the
transmission passes to MANUAL
mode.“Kick Down” function
The "Kick Down" function is also
available: if necessary (for example
when overtaking), pressing the
accelerator pedal fully over the
hardening point, the system downshifts
one or more gears (if the rpm allows
it) in order to provide suitable power
and torque for the acceleration
requested by the driver.
STARTING THE ENGINE
To start the engine press the brake
pedal: the system engages neutral (N)
automatically. When the starting
procedure is complete, you can engage
the 1st (1) or reverse (R) gear, keeping
the brake pedal down and pressing the
1 or R buttons on the gearbox panel
to engage 1st gear and reverse
respectively.
MOVING THE CAR
Setting off in the car is permitted in
both 1st gear and 2nd gear (advisable
on road surfaces with poor grip) and
also in reverse gear (R). The gears can
only be engaged by pressing the brake
pedal.
Proceed as follows:
press the brake pedal;
press the 1 button on the gearbox
panel;
