Operation of the A/T
122) 123) 124) 125) 126) 127)
Passing acceleration
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the
floor. The A/T will automatically
downshift.
In sports mode, downshifts do not take
place when the accelerator is
depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting
For short waiting periods, such as at
traffic signals the vehicle can be left in
gear and held stationary with the
service brake. For longer waiting
periods with the engine running, place
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and apply the parking brake,
while holding the vehicle stationary with
the service brake.
128)
Parking
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a
complete stop, fully engage the parking
brake, and then move the selector lever
to the “P” (PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle
unattended, always switch off the
engine and carry the key.
On a slope, be sure to apply the
parking brake before moving the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK)
position. If you move the selector lever
to the “P” (PARK) position beforeapplying the parking brake, it may be
difficult to disengage the selector lever
from the “P” (PARK) position when next
you drive the vehicle, requiring
application of a strong force to the
selector lever to move from the “P”
(PARK) position.
When the A/T makes no speed
change
If the transmission does not change
speeds while driving, or your vehicle
does not pick up enough speed when
starting on an uphill slope, it may be
that there is something unusual
happening in the transmission, causing
a safety device to activate. Immediately
have your vehicle checked by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving
uphill, shift the selector lever into 2nd
gear of the sports mode. This method
might not work depending on the
transmission malfunction.
2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level
road, move the selector lever back to
“D” (DRIVE).
When the selector lever position display
in the instrument panel blinks, it means
that there is an abnormal condition in
the transmission. Refer to “When the
selector lever position display blinks”.
IMPORTANT
111)Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear from
the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Never put your foot on the accelerator
pedal while shifting the selector lever from
the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
112)Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion to avoid a transmission damage.
113)Never move the selector lever to the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving. A
serious accident could occur since you
could accidentally move the lever into the
“P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position or
you will lose engine braking.
114)On a gradient, the engine should be
started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
115)To prevent rolling, always keep your
foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is
in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shifting
into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
116)To prevent transmission damage,
never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position
from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the
vehicle is in motion.
117)In sports mode, the driver must
execute upward shifts in accordance with
prevailing road conditions, taking care to
keep the engine speed below the red zone.
118)Repeated continuous operation of the
selector lever or the shift paddles will
continuously switch shift position.
163
NOTE Using any part other than the
designated towing hooks could result in
damage to the vehicle body.
Using a wire rope or metal chain can
result in damage to the vehicle body. It
is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you
use a wire rope or metal chain, wrap it
with cloth at any point where it touches
the vehicle body.
Use care that the tow rope is kept as
horizontal as possible. An angled tow
rope can damage the vehicle body.
Secure the tow rope to the same side
towing hook, to keep the tow rope as
straight as possible.
2. Keep the engine running. If the
engine is not running, perform the
following operation to unlock the
steering wheel.
[Except for vehicles with the keyless
operation system] On vehicles with
manual transmission, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” or “ON” position.On vehicles with automatic
transmission, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position. [For vehicles with the
keyless operation system] On vehicles
with manual transmission, put the
operation mode in ACC or ON. On
vehicles with automatic transmission,
put the operation mode in ON.
NOTE For vehicles equipped with the
Start&Stop system, press the
“Start&Stop OFF” switch to deactivate
the Start&Stop system before stopping
the vehicle. Refer to “To deactivate”.175) 176)
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (manual transmission)
or the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position (automatic
transmission).
4. On 4WD vehicles, set the drive
modes elector to “2H” position.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if
required by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations).
6. During towing make sure that close
contact is maintained between the
drivers of both vehicles, and that the
vehicles travel at low speed.
321) 322) 323)
If your vehicle tows another vehicle
(vehicles with rear towing hook
only)
324) 325) 326) 327) 328) 329)
The rear towing hook is located as
shown in the illustration. Secure the tow
rope to the rear towing hook.
Otherwise, the instructions are the
same as for “When being towed by
another vehicle”.
NOTE Using any part other than the
designated towing hook could result in
damage to the vehicle body.
