iTPMS System
(indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
48)
RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS needs an initial “self-
learning” phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being
driving on a straight road at 80 km/h
for at least 20 minutes) which starts
when the Reset procedure is carried
out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
❒ each time tyre pressure is
modified;
❒ when even only one tyre is
changed;
❒ when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒ when the space-saver wheel is
fitted.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the
road surface (e.g. icy, snowy,
unsurfaced roads...) the signalling may
be delayed or partial in detecting the
contemporary deflation of more than
one tyre.
Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of
the “Fix&Go” quick tyre repair kit,
fitting snow chains, fitting different
tyres on the axles) the system may
give false indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily
deactivated, the warning light
nflashes for about 75 seconds and then
is continuously on; at the same time,
the display shows a dedicated
message.
This indication is displayed also after
the engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored. Before carrying out the “Reset”
procedure, inflate the tyres to the
rated pressure values specified in the
inflation pressure table (see “Wheels”
paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” chapter).
If the Reset procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
nwarning light may give false indications
on one or more tyres.
To carry out the Reset procedure, with
the vehicle stopped and the ignition
key at MAR, use the setup menu (see
the description of the “Display”
paragraph). At the end of the Reset
procedure the display will show the
“Reset saved” message, indicating
that the self-learning has been started.
If the iTPMS self-learning is not
correctly executed, the message is not
displayed.
OPERATING
CONDITIONS
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.

PARKING THE
VEHICLE
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
❒ engage a gear (1st gear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill)
and leave the wheels turned;
❒ stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
❒ always remove the key from the
starter switch.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
before putting the shift lever at P).
HANDBRAKE 27)
The handbrake lever fig. 86 is located
between the two front seats.
To use the handbrake pull the lever
upwards until the car cannot be
moved.
To release the handbrake, raise the
lever slightly and press the release
button A fig. 86; hold down the button
and lower the lever.

USING THE MANUAL
GEARBOX
28) 14)
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into
one of the required positions (the
diagram is shown on the knob fig. 87).
For cars provided with 6-speed
gearbox, to engage the 6
thgear,
operate the lever by pressing it
towards the right in order to avoid
engaging the 4
thgear by mistake. The
same applies to shifting from 6thto 5th
gear.
87DVDF0S0156c

121
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the vehicle is
completely stationary. 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.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
the sliding ring A-fig. 87 under the
knob and shift the lever to the right and
back.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only to change gear. Do not
drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. For
versions/markets, where provided, the
electronic clutch control could cut in,
interpreting the incorrect driving style
as a fault.USING THE
DUALOGIC
GEARBOX 14)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
OPERATING MODE
The gearbox/transmission can function
in two operating modes:
❒ MANUAL the driver decides when
to shift gear;
❒ AUTO the system decides when to
shift gear.
MANUAL MODE
❒ Press the brake pedal and start the
engine.
❒ Push the gear lever A-fig. 88
towards (+) to engage the first gear
(if it is coming from N or R, simply
place the lever in the middle
position) or in R to engage reverse
gear.
❒ Release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal.
❒ In driving conditions, push lever A of
the gearbox towards (+) to engage
the next gear up or towards (–) to

STARTING AND DRIVING
122
SPORT function
(1.4 16V versions – for versions /
markets, where provided)
On these versions, the driver can also
use the SPORT function which enables
a sporty driving setting by intervening
on gear changes, the engine control
unit and the steering. To activate this
function, press the SPORT button
fig. 90 on the dashboard.
90DVDF0S0194c
ECO function
The ECO function, which optimises the
gearbox, can be activated only with
AUTO mode on.
This function is activated by pressing
button E fig. 88 on the trim next to the
gear lever (on 1.2 8V versions), or by
pressing the ECO button fig. 89 on the
dashboard (on 0.9 TwinAir 85 HP
versions).
With the ECO function active, the
display will show the current gear and
the words AUTO and ECO; the system
will select the most suitable gear
depending on the car speed, engine
rpm and intensity with which the
accelerator pedal is pressed, with the
aim of limiting fuel consumption.
89DVDF0S0193c
SHIFT PADDLES
(for versions/markets, where provided)
fig. 91
Shifting can be managed sequentially
via the shift paddles on the steering
wheel.
❒ To use the steering wheel paddles,
the gear lever A-fig. 88 must be in
the middle position between
+ and –.
To shift up: pull the right paddle +
towards the steering wheel.
To shift down:pull the left paddle –
towards the steering wheel.
NOTE Shifting up (or down) is only
permitted if the engine rpm allow it.
NOTE For correct use of the system,
you are advised only to use your right
foot to operate the pedal unit.
91DVDF0S0195c

125
ELECTRONIC
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows
the desired vehicle speed to be
maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed
above 30 km/h on long stretches of
dry, straight roads with few variations
(e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use it in town.
ENABLING THE DEVICE
38)
To enable the device, turn the ring C
fig. 95 to the (cruise control symbol
below) position.
When the device is enabled, it is
indicated by the symbol on the
display (fig. 96, 97).
95DVDF0S0210c
96DVDF0S0213c
The device cannot be enabled in 1st or
reverse gears:
it is advisable to enable it in 3rd gear or
higher.
IMPORTANT It is dangerous to leave
the device on when it is not used.
There is a risk of inadvertently
activating it and losing control of the
vehicle due to unexpected excessive
speed.
97DVDF0S0223c

IN AN EMERGENCY
128
BUMP STARTING13)
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the
brake servo and electrical power
steering system (where provided) are
not operational until the engine is
started, a greater effort will therefore
be required to press the brake pedal
or turn the steering wheel.
