INFORMATION ON DISPLAY
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
after around one second, display shows
the gear engaged and the last mode used
(AUTOor MANUAL):
N= neutral;
1= first gear;
2= second gear
3= third gear;
4= fourth gear;
5= fifth gear;
6= sixth gear;
R= reverse.
If the ECOfunction is used the display will
show the letter E(Economy) next the
gear engaged fig. 8-9.
IMPORTANT If the display does not
show the gear engaged after 10 seconds
with the ignition key in MAR, turn the ig-
nition to STOP, wait for the display to
turn off and then repeat the manoeuvre.
If the problem persists, contact the Fiat
Dealership. If necessary (e.g. when overtaking) the sys-
tem changes down a gear or more in or-
der to provide appropriate power and
torque for the acceleration requested by
the driver (this all takes place in automat-
ic mode irrespective of whether or not
the ECOfunction is activated).

handbrake or brake pedal to allow the
engine to increase its rpm to a greater
extent and overcome higher gradients
with more torque.
