GEAR ENGAGEMENT
DISABLING SYSTEM
WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL
PRESSED
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park)
and N (Neutral) if the brake pedal has
not been previously depressed.
To bring the gear lever to a position
other than P (Park) or from N (Neutral)
to R (Reverse), the ignition device must
be in position MAR (engine on or off)
and the brake pedal must be
depressed. Button 1 fig. 115 on the
gear lever knob must also be pressed.To move the lever from position N
(Neutral) to position D (Drive, automatic
forward gear), you need to press the
brake pedal.
To facilitate parking manoeuvres, move
the lever from D to R (and vice versa)
without pressing the brake if the lever
does not pass through the N position.
The lever will remain locked in the P
position in case of faults or flat battery.
See the “Automatic transmission” in the
“In an emergency” chapter for how to
release the lever manually.
WARNING
115)Never use position P (Park) instead of
the parking brake. Always engage the
parking brake when parking the vehicle to
avoid the accidental movement of the
vehicle.
116)If the P (Park) position is not engaged,
the vehicle could move and injure people.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that
the gear lever is in position P and that the
parking brake is engaged.
117)Do not shift the gear lever to N
(Neutral) and do not stop the engine when
driving on a downhill road. This type of
driving is dangerous and reduces the
possibility of intervening in the case of
variation of the road traffic or surface. You
risk losing control of your vehicle and
causing accidents.
IMPORTANT
44)Before moving the gear lever from
position P (Park), bring the ignition device
to position MAR and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, the gear lever may get
damaged.
45)Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator fully released.

Activation
With gear lever in position D (Drive), to
activate the sequential drive mode,
move the lever to the left (– and +
indication of the panel). The gear
engaged will be shown on the display.
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 the
letter 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
INHIBITION
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park) or
N (Neutral) if the brake pedal has not
been previously depressed. When the
ignition device is in MAR (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 1on the shift lever knob;
to shift the lever from position N to
position D, 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.
117

In this case, the transmission will
maintain the forward gear (with reduced
performance) even if the lever is shifted
to R or N. Once the lever is in the P
position, or after turning off the car, it
will not be possible to select R nor any
forward gear. In this case, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
118)Never use position P (Park) instead of
the parking brake. Always engage the
parking brake when parking the car to
avoid the accidental movement of the car.
119)If the P (Park) position is not engaged,
the car could move and injure people.
Before leaving the car, make sure that the
gear lever is in position P and that the
parking brake is engaged.
120)Do not shift the gear lever to N
(Neutral) and do not stop the engine when
driving on a downhill road. This type of
driving is dangerous and reduces the
possibility of intervening in the case of
variation of the road traffic or surface. You
risk losing control of your car and causing
accidents.
121)Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the car and take the key with
you.
IMPORTANT
46)Before moving the gear lever from
position P (Park), bring the ignition device
to position MAR and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, the gear lever may get
damaged.
47)If the car is on a slope, always engage
the parking brake BEFORE moving the shift
lever to the P position.
48)Only engage reverse gear with the car
stationary, the engine idling and the
accelerator pedal fully released.
STOP/START
SYSTEM
(where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine each time the car is
stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
Start&Stop mode will be active
whenever the engine is started.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
Versions with manual transmission
With the vehicle stopped, the engine
stops with gearbox in neutral and clutch
pedal released.
Versions with automatic
transmission
With car at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the
gear lever is in a position other than R.
The system does not operate when the
gear lever is in R, for making parking
manoeuvres easier. In the event of
stops uphill, engine switching off is
disabled to make the "Hill Hold Control"
118
STARTING AND DRIVING
function available (works only with the
engine running).

NOTE The engine can only be stopped
