This Supplement describes the main instructions for
using the Dualogic mechanical gearbox with electronic
control fitted on Fiat Idea.
Read this entire Supplement to make sure you know
how to use the gearbox correctly. This will help you
to perform the correct operations right from the
start.

USING THE DUALOGIC GEARBOX
The car is fitted with a mechanical gearbox with electronic control called
“Dualogic” that can work in two operating modes: MANUAL and AUTO.
This gearbox includes a conventional mechanical transmission to which an
electronically-operated electrohydraulic device has been added which
controls automatically the clutch and gear engagement.
HOW TO MOVE OFF
Manual mode
❒Press the brake pedal
❒Start the engine
❒Move the gear lever (A) to + (UP) to engage the first gear or to R to
engage reverse
❒Release the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal
❒When running move the gear lever (A) to + (UP) for upshifting or to –
(DOWN) for downshifting.
Automatic mode
❒ Press the brake pedal
❒Start the engine
❒Move the gear lever (A) to A/M to engage the automatic mode or to R
to engage reverse
❒Release the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal.

OPERATION
The gearbox can work in two operating modes:
❒the first mode is manual (MANUAL): the driver directly requests
gearshifting;
❒the second mode is automatic (AUTO): the system directly decides
when shifting gears. With this operating logic it is possible to activate
the ECO (Economy) function to contain consumption by pressing
button (E) on the gearbox mask.
To shift gears and to select the operating mode (MANUAL or AUTO)
use the gear lever (A) set on the central console (see figure).

STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine can be started either with a gear engaged or in neutral (N),
always press the brake pedal first.
After starting:
❒the gearbox sets to neutral (N) automatically
❒lever (A) keeps the same position it had before 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 (R) gear.
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 reconfigurable multifunction display will show a
dedicated message (see paragraph “Warning lights and messages”). In this
event, to start the engine just repeat operation keeping the brake pedal
pressed.
IMPORTANT When the driver’s door is opened, the system starts the
hydraulic part to prepare it for when the engine is started.
If the engine fails to start with the gear engaged, the driver is informed of the
potentially dangerous situation due to the fact that the gearbox is in neutral by
the buzzer.IMPORTANT

PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely necessary to
press the brake pedal and to engage first gear or
reverse (R) and also the hand brake if the car is on a
slope; it is also absolutely necessary to wait for the
reconfigurable multifunction display showing the gear
engaged to go off before releasing the brake pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with gearbox in
neutral (N).IMPORTANT NOTES
❒With the car stopped and a gear engaged always
keep the brake pedal pressed until deciding to move
off, then release the brake pedal and accelerate
gradually;
❒during prolonged halts with the engine running it is
advisable to keep the gearbox in neutral (N);
❒when the car is parked facing uphill, to safeguard
clutch efficiency do not use the accelerator to keep
the car still since clutch overheating could damage
it. Use the brake pedal and press the accelerator
pedal only when deciding to move off;
❒use second gear only when more control is needed
for moving off manoeuvres with poor grip;
❒if, in reverse gear (R), first gear is to be engaged or
vice versa, shift gear only when the car is stopped
completely and with the brake pedal pressed;
❒though highly inadvisable, if when travelling downhill
for some unexpected reason the car is set to
neutral (N), when the engagement of a gear is
requested, the system automatically engages the
best gear in relation to the speed of the car to allow
the correct transmission of torque to the wheels;
❒when travelling downhill with a gear engaged and
the accelerator released (if the car is moving),
beyond a pre-established speed, the system engages
the clutch automatically to give the car adequate
engine braking.

TOWING THE CAR
Make sure that the gearbox is in neutral (N) (checking
that the car moves if pushed) and tow as for a car with
traditional mechanical gearbox (see Owner
Handbook).
Should it be impossible to set to neutral, do not tow
the car and contact Fiat Dealership.
