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.
