If the engine does not start
with the gear engaged, a po-
tentially hazardous situation because
the gearbox has automatically shifted
to neutral is indicated by a buzzer.

ENGINE STARTING
The system permits engine start-up with a
gear engaged and also with the gearbox in
neutral (N); the brake pedal must always
be pressed first.
It is advisable to place the gear lever in
neutral (N) before starting the engine.
After start-up:
❒the gearbox automatically engages neu-
tral (N)
❒the lever remains in the same position
as the last time the engine was turned
off
❒the display will show the letter (N) and,
when the brake pedal is released, a
buzzer together with the flashing of the
letter (N), will signal any inconsistency
between the position of the lever and
the gear engaged
❒the gears that can be engaged are 1st,
2ndor reverse (R).
IMPORTANT If start-up is requested with
the gearbox is a position other than Nand
without the brake pedal pressed, the dis-
play shows a dedicated message see
(“Warning lights and messages” para-
graph). In this case, repeat the start-up ma-
noeuvre, pressing the brake pedal.IMPORTANT If start-up is requested with
the gearbox faulty, run the “Delayed start-
up” procedure (see associated messages):
turn the key to the AVVposition for at
least 7 seconds with the brake depressed
and the engine will start. The system will
be in recovery mode (highest gear per-
mitted 3
rd, automatic mode not available).
If the engine does not start, contact the
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the driver’s door is
opened, the system activates the hydraulic
system so that it is prepared for the sub-
sequent starting of the enigne.

❒if necessary, with the engine off it is pos-
sible to engage 1stgear or reverse (R)
with the ignition ONand the brake
pressed. In this case, gear shifts must be
made allowing at least 5 minutes to
elapse between one gear shift and the
next to safeguard the operation of the
hydraulic system and the pump in par-
ticular;

until it is in the end of travel position
and switchin off the ASR function, if
present, using the button in the dash-
board allows for a responsive take off.
