KNOWING YOUR CAR
When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
To ensure steering uniformity, when the
key is pressed while the steering wheel
is being turned, the change of force will
only be felt when it is turned in the
opposite direction, or the steering
wheel is released.
WARNING
28)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
29)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.

KNOWING YOUR CAR
Gearshifting is made by moving the
gear lever forwards, towards symbol –
or backwards, towards symbol +.
Deactivation
To deactivate the sequential driving
mode, bring the gear lever back to
position D (Drive), automatic mode.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Engine start-up is allowed only with the
gear lever in P or N position.
Therefore, on starting the engine, the
system will be in the N or P position
(the latter corresponds to neutral, but
with the car wheels mechanically
locked).
MOVING THE CAR
To move the car, from P press the brake
pedal and, using the button on the gear
lever, move the lever to the desired
position (D, R or "Sequential mode").
The display will show the gear engaged.
When the brake pedal is released, the
car starts moving forwards or
backwards, as soon as the manoeuvre
is activated ("creeping" effect). The
accelerator should not be pressed in
this case.
IMPORTANT The inconsistency
between the speed actually engaged
(shown on the display) and the position
of the gear lever is indicated by theletter corresponding to the position of
the gear lever flashing on the panel
(also accompanied by an acoustic
warning). This condition should not be
interpreted as an operational fault, but
simply as a request by the system to
repeat the manoeuvre.
GEAR ENGAGEMENT
DISABLE
This system prevents you from moving
the shift lever from the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position if you have not
pressed the brake pedal first. With the
start switch in the MAR position (engine
on or off):
to move the shift lever to a position
other than P (Park) or from N to R, you
must press the brake pedal and the
button 1 fig. 118 on the shift lever knob;
to move the lever from the N
position to the D position, you must
press the brake pedal.
In the event of a fault or when the
vehicle battery is flat, the lever remains
locked in the P position. To manually
release the lever, see the "Dual clutch
automatic transmission - Releasing the
lever" paragraph in the "In an
emergency" chapter.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Versions equipped with key without
remote control: this function requires
the gear lever to be positioned at P
(Park) before extracting the key from the
ignition device. If the car battery is flat
and the ignition key is engaged, the
latter is locked in position. To remove
the key manually see the "Dual-clutch
automatic transmission - Key removal"
paragraph in the "In an emergency"
chapter.
Versions with a Stop/Start system:
in order to switch off the engine, the
vehicle needs to be stopped by
applying appropriate pressure on the
brake pedal. If the pressure is not
sufficient, the engine will not switch off.
This feature can be exploited so that
the engine does not switch off in
particular traffic conditions.
"RECOVERY"
FUNCTIONS
In case of a gear lever failure, the
instrument panel display could show a
dedicated message recommending that
the driver continues driving without
shifting the lever to the P position.
In this case, the transmission will
maintain the forward gear (with reduced
performance) even if the lever is shifted
toRorN.
