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

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.

Emergency Release of the
Parking Brake
In the event the electric parking brake
locks due to a total system failure (see
“Parking Brake” in section “Driving”),
it is not possible to move the vehicle,
since the thrust action of the brake
shoes will lock the rear wheels.
For moving the vehicle it is therefore
necessary to manually act on the
electric actuator to release the
pressure of the brake shoes on the
rear wheels by performing the
following operation.
CAUTION!
If the parking brake has been
activated in manual or automatic
mode and it is not possible to release
it by operating on the lever of the
central console, do not move the
vehicle since rear brake calipers might
be damaged. If you are not able to
perform the following operation, to
move the vehicle, load it on a rescue
vehicle, avoiding to move it. For more
information on vehicle towing, see
"Towing a Disabled Vehicle" chapter
in this section.
Manual Release Procedure
To manually release the parking brake,
you need to use the special tool
provided in the tool kit (see "Tool Kit"
in this section).
Proceed as follows:
• remove any luggage and/or the bag
containing the compact spare wheel
(if equipped) from the trunk
compartment;
• remove the floor panel from the
trunk compartment;
• remove the inside covering panel
from the battery compartment;
• remove the container in the rear
part of the trunk compartment
