To return to manual mode, set the gear
lever back to A/M.
With the car stationary and the key re-
moved, it is possible to shift the lever
with/without the brake pedal pressed. The
system will perform no actuation when
shifting the lever and the gear engaged will
be the one stored before removing the ig-
nition key.
IMPORTANT With the engine running, any
error between lever position and gear en-
gaged is indicated by a buzzer sounding un-
til restoring proper condition.MANUAL OPERATION
(MANUAL)
In this operating mode, the decision to
change gear is left to the driver who de-
cides the most appropriate moment.
To change gears in MANUAL operating
mode proceed as follows:
❒move the gear lever to +(UP)
fig. 1to engage higher gear;
or
❒move the gear lever to –(DOWN)
fig. 1to engage lower gear.
When shifting gears it is not necessary to
release the accelerator pedal.
The system will cut in preventing gearshift-
ing if the request to change gear could im-
pair regular operation of engine and trans-
mission.
The system will warn the driver that the
required gear will not be engaged through
the sound of the buzzer and a dedicated
message on the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display (see paragraph “Warning
lights and messages”).
The system will shift gears automatically
when the engine reaches idle rpm (e.g.:
at slowing down).Do not rest your hand on the
gear lever when your are not
shifting gears or if you are in
Auto/Manual mode.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
(AUTO)
For engaging/disengaging the automatic
operating mode (AUTO), move lever to
A/M fig. 3: automatic mode activation is
indicated by message AUTO fig. 5and

function display.

If the ECOfunction is on, the reconfig-
urable multifunction display will show E
(Economy) next to the gear engaged
fig. 6.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds (with ig-
nition key to MAR) the display does not
show the gear engaged, turn the ignition
key to STOPand wait for the display to
turn off, then repeat system switch on. If
the fault persists, contact Fiat Dealership.STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine can be started either with a
gear engaged or in neutral (N); with gear
engaged always press the brake pedal first.
Before starting the engine, you are rec-
ommended to set the gear lever to neu-
tral (N).
After starting:
❒the gearbox sets to neutral (N) auto-
matically
❒lever keeps the same position it had be-
fore starting
❒the reconfigurable multifunction display
shows (N) and a buzzer will indicate if
the lever position and the gear engaged
are not matching
❒gears that can be engaged are: 1st, 2nd or
reverse gear (R), with brake pedal
pressed.IMPORTANT When trying to start the
engine with gearbox not in neutral (any
gearshift lever position other than N) and
without pressing the brake pedal, the re-
configurable multifunction display will
show a dedicated message (see paragraph
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
event, to start the engine just repeat op-
eration keeping the brake pedal pressed.
IMPORTANT Opening the driver’s door
will make the system activate the hydraulic
section in order to prepare it for next en-
gine starting.
