AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
SPORT MODE 5A/T
(where provided)
During running-in period or immediately
after reconnection of the battery cable,
there may be a case where gear shifts
are not made smoothly. This does not
indicate a faulty transmission. Gear
shifts will become smooth after the
transmission has been shifted several
times by the electronic control system.
Selector lever operation
The transmission has 5 forward gears
and 1 reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected
automatically, depending on the speed
of the vehicle and the position of the
accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the
main gate (B) and the manual gate (C).
While depressing
the brake pedal,
move the selector
lever through the
gate.
Move the selector
lever through the
gate.
92)
To avoid erroneous operation, move the
selector lever firmly into each position
and briefly hold it there. Always check
the position shown by the selector lever
position display after moving the
selector lever.
If the brake pedal is not depressed and
held, the shift-lock device activates to
prevent the selector lever from being
moved from the “P” (PARK) position.
When the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” (PARK)
position
When the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to
another position while the brake pedal
is pressed and held down with the
ignition switch at the “ON” position or
the operation mode in ON, the battery
may be flat or the shift-lock mechanism
may be malfunctioning. Immediately
have your vehicle checked by a Fiat
Dealership.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift
the selector lever as follows.

STARTING AND DRIVING

perform a downshift when the selector
lever or the shift paddles is moved to
the “— (SHIFT DOWN)” position at
certain vehicle speeds.
Downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows
down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear
is automatically selected.
When driving away on a slippery road,
push the selector lever forward into the
“+ (SHIFT UP)” position. This cause the
transmission to shift into the 2nd gear
which is better for smooth driving away
on a slippery road. Push the selector
lever to the “— (SHIFT DOWN)” side to
shift back to the 1st gear.
Sport mode indicator
In sport mode, the currently selected
position is indicated by the indicator (A)
shown on the instrument panel.When a malfunction occurs in the
automatic transmission
