Transmission Manual
Release of P (Park)
Position
The manual disengagement of the
shift from P (Park) has the purpose to
allow pushing or towing the vehicle if
not normally possible using the shift
lever (such as in the event of a battery
failure with inability to start the
engine).
The current procedure is exclusively
intended for emergency situations,
but not for frequent use.
WARNING!
Before performing the manual release
of P (Park) position, if possible, always
secure your vehicle by fully applying
the parking brake. Performing this
operation will allow your vehicle to
roll away if it is not secured by the
parking brake. Performing the manual
release of P (Park) position on an
unsecured vehicle could lead to
serious injury or death for those in or
around the vehicle.
• Move in the rearmost position the
driver's seat.

Interior Maintenance and
Care
Interior trim should be cleaned
starting with a damp cloth. Do not use
harsh cleaners.
The leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt
can act as an abrasive and damage the
leather upholstery and should be
removed promptly with a damp cloth.
Stubborn soils stains can be removed
easily with a soft cloth and
appropriate products. Avoid soaking
the leather upholstery with any liquid.
Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery.
Application of a leather conditioner is
not required to maintain the original
condition.
Check at regular intervals that there is
no water trapped under the mats (due
to drips off shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which may cause the metal parts to
oxidize.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents
to clean the instrument cluster'stransparent dome, the MTC+ display,
the analog clock and the leather
upholstery. We recommended the use
of “Car Care” products approved by

of the interior.
