OF THE CAR
USING THE
“SELESPEED” GEARBOX
(where provided)
The car may be fitted with a mechanical
transmission with electronic control called
“Selespeed”. This device includes a con-
ventional mechanical gearbox to which an
electronically-operated electro-hydraulic
device has been added which controls au-
tomatically the clutch and gear engage-
ment.
The car moves off using only the acceler-
ator pedal.
To be able to use the Selespeed correct-
ly, this chapter should be read in full. OPERATION
The gearbox can work in two operating
modes:
❒the first mode is manual (MANUAL),
the driver directly requests gearshift-
ing;
❒the second mode is automatic (AUTO),
the system directly decides when shift-
ing gear.
On versions fitted with Cruise Control,
when activating it, the Selespeed gearbox
will automatically set in AUTO mode. To
select the manual mode deactivate the
Cruise Control (see paragraph “Cruise
Control” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).Manual mode (MANUAL)
In MANUAL mode, the display shows the
gear engaged.
The requests to change gear may take
place through:❒the gear lever A-fig. 5on the central
console;
❒the steering wheel controls fig. 6,
which can be operated only when the
car speed exceeds 5 km/h.
It is not necessary to release the acceler-
ator pedal when shifting gears.
Neutral (N) is accepted until the car speed
exceeds 40 km/h. The reverse gear en-
gagement (R) is accepted only if the car
is stationary.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CARSuch operating mode is set when, with
AUTO mode selected, the button AUTO
fig. 7is pressed again, thereby excluding
the previously selected mode.
When downshifting, the engine is accel-
erated automatically to bring it to the
speed necessary with the new gear ratio.
With the accelerator pedal pressed and
gradual engine speed increase, gearshift-
ing becomes quicker.In the manual operating mode there are
certain automatic/security devices which
simplify driving:
❒when slowing down the clutch is
opened and the transmission ratio is au-
tomatically reduced to be ready for
picking up again; otherwise, when the
car is stopped, the gearbox will auto-
matically be in first gear (1);
❒requests to change gear that would take
the engine to exceed the maximum
speed or below minimum speed are not
accepted;
❒nif the engine reaches the maximum
permissible speed and accelerating con-
tinues (without the cutting in of the
ASR or ESP system), the system auto-
matically engages a higher gear; ASR or
ESP system activation at max speed,
gearshifting is inhibited;
❒if jamming occurs during gear engage-
ment, the system firstly tries to engage
the gear required again and, if it is still
not possible, it automatically engages
the immediately higher one to avoid
leaving the car in neutral (N).
IMPORTANT It is advisable to wait for the
end of a gear shifting operation before re-
questing another one, to avoid multiple re-
quests in rapid succession.Automatic mode (AUTO)
This operating mode is selected by press-
ing button AUTO, on the central console.
In the AUTO operating mode, AUTO is
displayed followed by the indication of the
gear selected.
Releasing the accelerator pedal quickly,
the system does not engage a higher gear
in order to maintain an adequate level of
engine brake.
The indication on the display of the gear
selected, can be as follows:
N = neutral;
1 = first gear;
2 = second gear;
3 = third gear;
4 = fourth gear;
5 = fifth gear;
R = reverse;

SYSTEM ACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to MAR, after
about one second, the display shows the
gear engaged (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R): from this
moment onwards, the Selespeed system
accepts gearshift commands.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds the dis-
play does not show the gear engaged, turn
the ignition key to STOP, and wait for the
display to turn off, then repeat system
switch on. If the fault persists, contact Fi-
at Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the driver’s door is
opened the system starts the hydraulic
part of the system to prepare it for when
the engine is started. MOVING-OFF
With the engine on and the car stationary,
the gears that can be engaged for moving
off are only first (1), second (2) and/or re-
verse (R).
To engage them it is possible, keeping the
brake pedal pressed, to use only the
gearshift lever on the central console.
Moving off of the car is obtained releas-
ing the brake pedal and gradually press-
ing the accelerator pedal.
With the ASR system off (pressing the
ASR off button) moving off will be more
“brilliant”.
IMPORTANT Reverse gear (R) can be en-
gaged from any of the following other
gears: neutral (N), first (1) or second (2)
only when the car is stationary.IMPORTANT If when shifting from re-
verse (R) / first (1) or neutral (N) / first (1)
sticking occurs on the first gear, the sys-
tem automatically engages second gear (2).
This is not to be considered as a fault as
it is part of the operating logic. For the
same reason, in the case of sticking on re-
verse gear, the system partially closes the
clutch to allow gear engagement; in this
case the engagement of reverse gear (R)
will not be as smooth as usual.
After a request to shift gear
with the car stationary, be-
fore pressing the accelerator pedal to
make the car move, the driver must
always check the display to see that
the gear engaged is the one required.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CARIMPORTANT Before using the gearshift
control lever, always check the gear en-
gaged on the display (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R).
With the engine off and the car stationary
it is possible to engage all the gears.
With the car stopped and the brake ped-
al pressed, requests to change gear are ac-
cepted only through the control lever on
the centre console.
From any gear (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and with
the car practically stationary, it is possi-
ble to request the engagement of reverse
gear pushing the lever to the right and
then backwards fig. 10. If the car is mov-
ing, the request is not accepted. Wait for
the car to stop and then request gear en-
gagement again.IMPORTANT Once a gear has been
changed it is necessary to immediately re-
lease the gearshift control lever after mak-
ing the request. A manoeuvre prolonged
(over 10 seconds) will cause the system
to switch automatically to AUTO; every-
thing stops releasing the gearshift lever.
IMPORTANT When parking the car on
a sloping road and engaging a gear to keep
it braked, always check that the display
shows the new gear engaged and wait for
one or two seconds before releasing the
brake pedal to allow complete engage-
ment of the clutch.Through steering wheel controls
They are placed on the steering wheel
spokes fig. 11through which, only with
the car on the move (with speed above 5
Km/h), it is possible to shift gear up or
down.
If during operation in the automatic mode
(AUTO) a request to change gear is made,
this is performed without switching the
operating mode.
To allow setting to neutral (N), (with the
car stationary and brake pedal pressed),
move the gearshift lever to the right

ENGINE STARTING
The engine can be started either with a
gear engaged or with the gearbox in neu-
tral (N).
After starting, the gearbox sets to neutral
automatically, the display shows the letter
N and the system selects last operating
mode (MANUAL or AUTO) before
switching off.
IMPORTANT With gear engaged, fully de-
press the brake pedal to allow engine
starting.SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
AND SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to STOPthe en-
gine turns off.
The gear selected before switching off the
engine remains engaged.
If the engine is stopped with the gearbox
in neutral (N), letter N flashing on the dis-
play calls the driver’s attention so that the
car can be put in safety conditions engag-
ing first gear (1) or reverse (R).
In this case, the ignition key should be
turned to MARand, with the brake ped-
al pressed, engage first gear (1) or reverse
(R).
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.
WARNING
NEVER leave the car with
the gear in neutral (N).

FAILURE INDICATIONS
Failures of the Selespeed gearbox are
shown by warning light
ton the in-
strument panel, together with the relevant
message (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In case of system failure:
❒a buzzer will sound;
❒where provided, the AUTO mode will
be engaged automatically to make it
possible to reach the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership and have the fault eliminated.
In the case of a fault, the system only al-
lows the engagement of first gear (1), sec-
ond gear (2) and reverse (R). IMPORTANT If the engine is stopped with
the AUTO mode engaged, this will be
stored by the system. Indeed, the next
time the engine is started, this condition
will still be active.
IMPORTANT Should the engine go off
with the car on the move, the next time
it is started the warning light
Ymay
come on. In this case check that the warn-
ing light
Ygoes off turning the engine off
and on again with the car stationary. If not,
contact Fiat Dealership.
Never remove the ignition
key when the car is moving.
In addition to the fact that the Sele-
speed system would not work prop-
erly up to stopping the car, the steer-
ing wheel would lock automatically
the first time it is turned.
WARNING
It is absolutely necessary to
turn off the engine and then
turn off the Selespeed system keep-
ing the brake pedal pressed: ONLY
release the pedal when the display on
the instrument panel has gone out.
WARNING
In the event of a gearbox
fault (to any component),
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the system checked
over.
