lever towards (+) to engage the next
gear up or towards (–) to engage the
next gear down.
AUTOMATIC LOGIC
(AUTO)
Proceed as follows:
❒press the brake pedal and start the
engine;
❒if AUTO is not displayed, move the
gear lever A fig. 91 to A/M to select
AUTOMATIC mode;
❒push the gear lever towards (+) to
engage first gear (if starting from N or
R, simply place the lever in the middle
position), or R to engage reverse;
❒release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal: the gear most
suited to the vehicle speed will be
engaged.
AUTO-ECO OPERATION
To activate the function press the ECO
button fig. 92. The ECO function can be
only activated only with automatic
mode active.With the ECO function active, the
system will select the most suitable
gear depending on the vehicle speed,
engine rpm and intensity with which the
accelerator pedal is pressed, with the
aim of limiting fuel consumption.
“Kick Down” FUNCTION(for versions/markets, where provided)
If necessary (e.g. when overtaking),
the system downshifts one or more
gears when the accelerator pedal
is depressed beyond the point where it
becomes stiff (and if the rpm allow it)
in order to provide suitable power and
torque for the acceleration requested
by the driver.
IMPORTANT The use of the “Kick
Down” function is recommended only
when overtaking or accelerating quickly,
in order not to increase fuel
consumption.
STEERING WHEEL
CONTROLS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the gearbox can
be managed sequentially using the
steering wheel controls fig. 93.
To use the controls on the steering
wheel, the gear lever must be in the
central position between (+) and (–).
To engage a higher gear:pull the
stalk (+) toward the steering wheel.
To engage a lower gear:pull the stalk
(-) toward the steering wheel.
The engagement of a lower (or higher)
gear is only permitted if the engine
rpm allow it.

146)Whilst towing, remember that the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available,
therefore greater force needs to be exerted
on the brake pedal and more effort is
required on the steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and avoid
jerky movements. Make sure not to
damage parts in contact with the car while
towing. When towing the car, you must
comply with all specific traffic regulations,
both in terms of the towing device and
behaviour on the road. Do not start the
engine while being towed.
131
147)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
The car may be towed for short distances
when a dedicated device is used in
compliance with the Highway Code (rigid
bar), and in order to move the vehicle
on the road in preparation for towing or
transport via a tow truck (on the Trekking
versions do NOT use the rear tow hook for
transport on a tow truck: use the front
tow hook). Tow hooks MUST NOT be used
to tow vehicles off the road or where there
are obstacles and/or for towing operations
using ropes or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, towing
must take place with two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) aligned as much
as possible along the same centre line.WARNING
144)Before starting towing operations,
turn the ignition key to MAR and then
to STOP, without extracting it. The steering
column will automatically lock when the
key is removed, making it impossible
to turn the wheels.
145)Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the tow ring is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the vehicle.
