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
gear engaged on the reconfigurable multi-
function display.

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 - ECO)
The ECOfunction can be activated only
with automatic mode active.
To activate the ECOfunction press but-
ton E-fig. 4located on the instrument
panel. After activating this function, the re-
configurable multifunction display shows
the gear engaged and words AUTOand
E(see next paragraph).
With ECOfunction active the system will
select the most suitable gear (according to
car speed, engine rpm and how the accel-
erator pedal is pressed) to save as much
fuel as possible.
If necessary (e.g.: overtaking), after press-
ing the accelerator pedal fully down, the
system will change gears in order to pro-
vide suitable torque and power for accel-
eration (this will take place in automatic
mode regardless of ECOfunction con-
dition, ON or OFF).
With AUTOmode active, the system de-
cides to change gear depending on car
speed, engine rpm and how the accelera-
tor pedal is pressed. It is however possi-
ble to change gears with the control lever
without deactivating the automatic mode:
this function called “gear advice” suspends
the automatic mode for the time required
to change gear.ENGAGED GEAR DISPLAYING
One second after turning the ignition key
to MAR, the gear engaged and the last op-
erating mode adopted (AUTOor
MANUAL) will be displayed on the re-
configurable multifunction display:
N= neutral;
1= first gear;
2= second gear;
3= third gear;
4= fourth gear;
5= fifth gear;
6= sixth gear (Multijet version);
R= reverse.

7
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 if the start request is carried
out with gearbox in failure condition, per-
form the “Delayed start” procedure (see
as well related messages): keeping the key
in AVVposition for at least 7 seconds, with
the brake pressed, the engine starts. The
system remains in recovery situation (max
allowed gear: 3
rd, AUTOnot available).
If the engine does not start, refer to the
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Opening the driver’s door
will make the system activate the hydraulic
section in order to prepare it for next en-
gine starting.
fig. 6F0R2012g
If the engine fails to start with
the gear engaged, the driver
is informed of the potential-
ly dangerous situation due to
the fact that the gearbox is in neutral
by the buzzer.

PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely nec-
essary to press the brake pedal and to en-
gage first gear or reverse (R) and also the
hand brake if the car is on a slope; it is al-
so absolutely necessary to wait for the re-
configurable multifunction display show-
ing the gear engaged to go off before re-
leasing the brake pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVERleave the car with
gearbox in neutral (N).IMPORTANT NOTES
❒With the car stopped and a gear en-
gaged 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 gear-
box in neutral (N);
❒to safeguard clutch efficiency do not use
the accelerator to keep the car still
(e.g.: when the car is parked facing up-
hill) since clutch overheating could dam-
age it. Use the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal only when decid-
ing to move off;
❒use second gear only when more con-
trol is needed for moving off manoeu-
vres with poor grip;
❒if, in reverse gear (R), first gear is to
be engaged or vice versa, shift gear on-
ly when the car is stopped completely
and with the brake pedal pressed;
❒though highly inadvisable, if when trav-
elling downhill for some unexpected
reason the car is set to neutral (N),
when the engagement of a gear is re-
quested, the system automatically en-
gages the best gear in relation to the
speed of the car to allow the correct
transmission of torque to the wheels;
❒when needed, with the engine off you
can change gear with the key on MAR
and the brake pedal depressed. In this
case the instructions required to change
the gear letting at least 5 seconds pass
between one gear shift and the other, in
order to preserve proper operation of
the hydraulic system and of the pump
in particular;
❒pressing the accelerator pedal quickly
flat out and deactivating the ASR, if any,
will obtain a “brilliant” start;
❒when starting uphill, if you gradually, yet
steadily, accelerate just after releasing
the handbrake or the brake pedal, the
engine is able to increase the number
of revs providing more traction to the
wheels to cope with steep slopes.

FAILURE (red)
Turning the ignition key to MAR
the warning light shall come on, but it
should go off a few seconds after.
The warning light comes on flashing on the
cluster (together with the message on the
reconfigurable multifunction display and
the buzzer) to indicate a gearbox failure.

In the case of a gearbox
fault, contact Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible to
have the system checked.
If the warning light continues
to stay on (together with the
message on the reconfig-
urable multifunction display),

gine on, the AUTOmode cannot be se-
lected.CLUTCH OVERTEMPERATURE
The message on the reconfigurable mul-

STARTUP
Messages are displayed in turns and in se-
quence on the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display, together with the buzzer to
indicate brake pedal failure when trying to
start the engine.
In this condition, keep the key in AVVpo-
sition for at least 6 seconds, with the brake
pressed: the engine starts. The system is
in recovery condition (max allowed gear:
3rd).

when the car is parked facing
uphill) since clutch overheating could
damage it. Use the brake pedal and
press the accelerator pedal only when
deciding to move off.
