35)
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into
the required position (the diagram for
gear engagement is shown on
the knob ).
To engage 6
thgear (if present), operate
the lever by pressing it towards the right
in order to avoid engaging 4
thgear by
mistake. The same applies to the shift
from 6
thto 5thgear.
1.4 Turbo Multi Air - 1.6 Multijet -
2.0 Multijet manual transmission
versions:To engage reverse R from
neutral, lift the ring 1 fig. 92 under the
knob and at the same time move the
lever to the left and then forwards.
1.6 E.Torq versions:To engage
reverse gear R from neutral, move the
lever to the right and then backwards.
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the car is completely
stationary. For 1.6 E.Torq versions: 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”.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do not
drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. In some
circumstances, the electronic clutch
control could cut in by interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault.
WARNING
110)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat
and do not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
35)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
