engaged), push the brake pedal,
manually deactivate the EPB system
by pulling up the lever on the central
console, and push the accelerator
pedal.
Hill Holder Strategy
The Hill Holder strategy helps the
driver when starting-off on uphill
slopes. It activates only following a
vehicle stop when the brake pedal is
released, keeping the vehicle
stationary for a moment, so as to allow
the driver to move his foot from the
brake to the accelerator pedal. This
strategy is activated on slopes with a
gradient of more than 15°. Stopping the Vehicle
Regardless of the position of the
transmission lever, you must only
depress the brake pedal to stop the
vehicle.
WARNING!
• When the transmission shift lever is
in D (Drive, R (Reverse) or MANUAL
position, the engine idling and the
vehicle on an even surface, if the
brake pedal is not depressed, the
vehicle can move.
• Gearshifting is always active and
may be performed even when one
or more doors, the trunk or the
liftgate are open. Therefore, in these
conditions, take great care to avoid
moving the transmission shift lever
and so accidentally engage gears.
The key can be removed from the
ignition
switch only when the
transmission lever is in P (Park)
position and within 30 seconds from
turning the key to STOP (OFF) position.
The letter "P" (“Key-Lock" safety) is
displayed on the instrument cluster for
this entire time. For further
information see "Normal Starting of
the Engine" in this section. Selecting AUTO or MANUAL Operating
Mode
The transmission can be used both in
fully automatic mode (position "D")
and in sequential manual mode
(positions "+" or "–").
To select the mode, shift the
transmission shift lever to:
"D": automatic gearshifting (AUTO);
"+" or "–": sequential manual
gearshifting (MANUAL).
The transmission shift lever can always
be shifted from one position to the
other, even when the vehicle is
moving.
The transmission shift lever can
continuously be shifted from D (Drive)
to "+" or "–". If automatic
gearshifting has been set, the word
“AUTO” and the letter “D” will be
shown on the instrument cluster
display, while if sequential manual
mode has been set, the word
“MANUAL” and the gear engaged will
be shown on the same display.
Automatic Transmission Range P (Park)
Use this position to park the vehicle. A
transmission device will lock the
driving wheels.
The transmission can be shifted from P

(Drive) to R (Reverse), and vice versa,
by pressing the unlock button on the
transmission shift lever.
• Vehicle moving: switching to N
(Neutral) from D (Drive) requires the
unlock button on the shift lever
pressed.
• From D (Drive) selected mode it is
always possible to switch to
MANUAL mode by shifting the
transmission shift lever to "+" or "–"
position.
The gears will be engaged in relation
to the traveling speed, engine RPM,
accelerator position, speed with which
the pedal is depressed as well as the
traveling conditions (uphill, downhill,
curves).
The system has been programmed to
classify all driving styles, in relation to
the above mentioned parameters, and
to associate them with the various
vehicle settings, which go from
extremely comfortable and economic
driving to racing-style driving. The
setting is selected automatically.
At extremely cold temperatures
(-30°C/-23°F or below), transmission
may be affected by the low
temperature of the engine and
transmission. Normal operation will
resume once the transmission temperature has risen to a normal
level.
Transmission Strategy in
Particular Driving Situations Downhill Driving
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the transmission system
detects that the vehicle is moving
downhill and deactivates upshifting.
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed, upshifting is reactivated
but will be delayed by a few seconds.
When the brake pedal is depressed,
the transmission system downshifts to
provide enhanced engine braking
power.
In other words, when driving
downhill, the transmission system
operates so as to avoid upshifting and
shifting gears when the accelerator
pedal is released, and delays gear
engagement by a few seconds when
the accelerator pedal is depressed.
In addition, when the brakes are
applied, it engages the lowest gear in
order to provide enhanced engine
braking power.
This strategy is aimed at making
downhill driving safer. Driving in Curves
The system detects when the vehicle
goes into a curve through the lateral
acceleration and the steering angle.
Detecting this condition, it controls
gearshifting using a specific mode.
This mode is exited when the vehicle
comes out of the curve, at a distance
that varies depending on the vehicle
speed.
Fast-off Strategy
When the accelerator pedal is fully
released, the system deactivates
upshifting.
The next time the pedal is depressed,
upshifting will be reactivated only
after a few seconds.
Upshifting is also deactivated when
the accelerator pedal is partially
released; the system waits the time
necessary to evaluate if the release
action is completed.
Hot-mode Situations
In the event that the engine oil or
coolant temperature is too high or
both, the transmission system reduces
the maximum engine speed to 4000
rpm.
Therefore, upshifting will occur at this
limit.
This strategy does not apply to
downhill driving, so as to always have Driving
