GEAR LEVERThe gear lever A fig. 91 is the
multistable floating type, in other words
it has three stable and three unstable
positions.
The three stable positions correspond
to neutral (N), reverse (R) and the
central position located between the
unstable positions (+) and (-).The unstable positions, in other words
those that are abandoned as soon
as the lever is released, are the
positions for requesting a higher gear
(+), requesting a lower gear (–) and
requesting automatic operating mode
(A/M).
IMPORTANT With the engine started,
any error between the lever position
and the gear actually engaged is
signalled by a buzzer until consistency
is restored.
OPERATING MODEThe gearbox/transmission can function
in two operating modes:
❒MANUAL in which the driver decides
when to change gear;
❒AUTO in which the system decides
when to change gear.MANUAL MODEProceed as follows:
❒press the brake pedal and start the
engine;
❒if AUTO is displayed, move the gear
lever A fig. 91 to A/M to select
MANUAL mode;
❒push the gear lever towards (+) to
engage first gear (if starting from N or
R, simply place the lever in the middle
position) or R to engage reverse;

WARNING
60)It is extremely important, for correct
operation, that the camera is always kept
clean and free from mud, dirt, snow or ice.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the
camera while cleaning it. Avoid using
dry, rough or hard cloths. The camera
must be washed using clean water, with
the addition of car shampoo if necessary.
In washing stations which use steam or
high-pressure jets, clean the camera
quickly, keeping the nozzle more than 10
cm away. Do not apply stickers to the
camera.
TOWING TRAILERS
112) 113) 114)
INSTALLING A TOW
HOOKThe towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must be right for the towable weight
of the vehicle on which it is to be
installed.
For the electrical connection a standard
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer
light control must be installed on the
vehicle.
Seven or thirteen pin 12 V DC
connections should be used (CUNA/
UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
any instructions provided by the vehicle
manufacturer and/or the towing device
manufacturer.
IMPORTANTFor towing caravans or trailers the car
must be fitted with a type-approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Installation must be carried out
by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional
rear view mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trail.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car's
tow hook will reduce the load capacity
of the car by the same amount. To
make sure that the maximum towable
weight is not exceeded (given in the car
registration document) account should
be taken of the fully laden trailer,
including accessories and luggage.
Respect the speed limits specific to
each country for vehicles towing
trailers. In any case, the top speed
must not exceed 100 km/h.
Any electric brake or other device
(winch etc.) should be powered directly
by the battery through a cable with a
cross-section of no less than 2.5 mm
2.

In addition to the electrical branches,
the car's electrical system can be
connected only to the supply cable for
an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal trailer light, though not more
than 15 W. To connect, use the preset
control unit with a battery cable with
cross-section no less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (electric brake,
winch, etc.) must occur with engine
running.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
112)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Take particular care
when travelling on slippery roads.
113)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
114)After fitting, fixing screw holes must
be sealed to prevent an exhaust gas inlet.
