gearbox FIAT BRAVO 2014 2.G Owners Manual

INCREASING THE STORED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❒by temporarily turning ring nut B fig. 42 to (+).
Each movement of the ring nut will correspond to a
slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the ring nut turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE STORED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by switching off the device and then memorising
the new speed;
or
❒by keeping ring nut B fig. 42 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memorised
automatically.
Each movement of the ring nut will correspond to a
slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while
keeping the ring nut turned will correspond to a
continuous reduction in speed.TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
Turn the ring nut A fig. 42 to OFF or turn the
ignition key to STOP. The device is automatically
turned off in one of the following cases:
❒when the brake or clutch pedal is pressed;
❒if the ASR or ESP system cuts in (for versions/
markets, where provided);
❒if the gear is shifted in versions with Dualogic
gearbox (for versions/markets, where provided) in
Manual mode;
❒if the Dualogic gearbox lever (where provided) is
inadvertently shifted to N or R.
WARNING
Whilst driving with the device on, never
place the gear lever in neutral and do
not move the Dualogic gearbox lever into
position N or R.
WARNING
If the device is faulty, turn ring nut A
fig. 42 to OFF, check the condition of the
protective fuse and contact a Fiat Dealership.

ESP SYSTEM FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ESP system will be
automatically switched off and warning light
will
switch on constantly on the instrument panel (on
some versions along with a message on the display,
see “Warning lights and messages” chapter). In
this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with an ESP
system.Your driving style must always be suited
to the road conditions, visibility and traffic .
The driver is always responsible for road safety.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It's integral to the ESP system. It automatically
activates with the following conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedals pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear
other than reverse engaged;
❒downhill: car stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off the ESP system control unit will
keep brake force on wheels until the torque
necessary for starting is reached, or in any case formax. 2 seconds in order to pass easily from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
When two seconds have elapsed, without starting,
the system is automatically deactivated, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During this release
stage, the typical mechanical brake release noise can
be heard, indicating that the car is about to move.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM FAILURE
INDICATIONS
A possible system failure is indicated by the
warning light on the instrument panel - together
with the dedicated message in the multifunction
display (for versions/markets, where provided) -
coming on (see "Warning lights and messages"
chapter).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake, therefore do not leave the car without
activating the handbrake, switching off the engine and
engaging first gear.
WARNING
If the space-saver wheel is used, the ESP
system keeps operating. Always
remember that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel, provides less
grip. For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems it is vital that the tyres are the
same make and the same type on all the
wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, the
recommended type, make and size.

USING THE GEARBOXTo engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and
shift the gear lever into one of the required positions
(the diagram for gear engagement is shown on the
knob fig. 120 fig. 121).To engage 6
th
gear, operate the lever by pressing it
towards the right in order to avoid engaging 4
th
gear
by mistake. The same applies to the shift from 6th
to 5
th
gear.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift sliding ring A
and, at the same time:
❒move the lever to the right and then backwards
(1.6 MultiJet versions) fig. 120;
or
❒move the lever to the left and then forwards (2.0
MultiJet versions - for versions/markets, where
provided) fig. 121.
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be engaged when the
car is completely stationary. With the engine
running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging reverse to
prevent damage to the gears and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be used only
for gear changes. Do not drive with your foot resting
on the clutch pedal, however lightly. For versions/
markets where provided, the electronic clutch pedal
control could cut in, interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.

WARNING
Depress the clutch pedal fully to change
gear correctly. It is therefore essential
that there is nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do not get
in the way of the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight , could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
SAVING FUELSome useful tips are given below for fuel saving and
reducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other
pollutants [nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
Particulate Matter (PM) etc.].
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures at least once every four
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car (especially when driving in town) and
its ride greatly affects consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption levels.
When transporting particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.

IN AN EMERGENCY
STARTING THE ENGINEContact a Fiat Dealership immediately if instrument
panel warning light
stays on constantly.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using
an auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a
little higher than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒connect the positive terminals (sign + near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead
fig. 122❒with a second lead, connect the negative terminal
– of the auxiliary battery to an earth point
on
the engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, remove the
leads reversing the order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do
not persist but contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite
explosive gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another car, prevent
accidental contact between metallic parts of the two
cars.
Never use a fast batter y-charger to star t
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car, particularly
the ignition and fuel supply control units.
