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 toSTOP (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.

pedal pressed. To move the shift lever
from P (Park) position to any other
position, the engine must be switched
on. The engine can be regularly
started in P (Park) range. Never
attempt to use P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion.
When parking on a level surface, you
may place the shift lever in the P
(Park) position first, and then apply
the electronic parking brake by
pulling the trigger upward.
The Instrument cluster will display the
related
light indicator that flashes
until the maximum engagement force
has been reached.
When parking on a hill, apply the
parking brake before placing the shift
lever in P (Park).
For enhanced security, turn the front
wheels toward the kerb on a downhilland away from the kerb on an uphill
grade.
WARNING!
•Never use the P (Park) position as a
substitute for the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB). Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to
prevent vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
•Make sure the transmission is in P
(Park) before leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT race the engine when
shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral)
into another gear range, as this can
damage the drivetrain.
• Shift the lever to P (Park) position
only when the vehicle is stationary.
Therefore, it is advisable to perform
this maneuver with the brake pedal
depressed.
• To prevent accidental engagement,
the transmission shift lever can only
be shifted from P (Park) to any other
position when the unlock button on
the transmission shift lever and the
brake pedal are depressed.• Before getting out of the vehicle,
check that the Electric Parking Brake
(EPB) is engaged. Shift the
transmission shift lever to P (Park)
position even when you need to get
out of the vehicle only for a few
seconds, leaving the engine running.
If you turn off the engine with the
transmission shift lever in a position
different from P (Park), an acoustic
signal will sound for a few seconds
and a message will be displayed
indicating to shift the lever to P (Park)
position.
When the driver’s door is opened with
the transmission shift lever in a
position different from P (Park), an
acoustic signal will sound for a few
seconds and a message warning the
driver that the transmission shift lever
is not in P (Park) position will be
displayed.
R (Reverse)
This range is used to move the vehicle
backward.
We recommend to shift into R
(Reverse) only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
• Vehicle halted: switching between P
(Park), R (Reverse) and D (Drive)
requires pressing the unlock button
