WARNING
110)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, steer the wheels,
engage the parking brake, the first gear if
uphill and the reverse if downhill; on
versions with automatic transmission, set
the lever to "P". If the car is parked on a
steep slope block the wheels with a wedge
or stone.
111) Never leave children alone in an
unattended vehicle; make sure that when
you move away from the vehicle, you have
the key with you.
112) The electric parking brake must
always be engaged when leaving the
vehicle.

47)
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. 95 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.

STARTING AND DRIVING
wheels and the vehicle; tow hook G;
key H for the wheel stud bolts and the
jack; Allen key I for emergency
operation of the sun roof (where
provided);
lift up the mat A fig. 134 and take out
the space-saver spare wheel B;
position the spare wheel and tool
bag next to the wheel for changing;
take the chock A (where provided)
fig. 135 and fold it out as shown in the
diagram;
place the chock A on the wheel
diagonally opposite the one to be
replaced (see fig. 136 ) to prevent the
car from moving irregularly when it is
lifted from the ground;
using the spanner A fig. 137, loosen
the fixing stud bolts by about one turn.
For versions with alloy rims it is a good
idea to "shake" the car to facilitate
detachment of the rim from the wheel
hub.
position the jack under the car, near
the wheel to be changed;
