USING THE DUAL FUNCTION SYSTEM
GEARBOX (where provided)
The car may be fitted with a mechanical transmission with electronic
control called “Dual FuNction System” that features 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

MANUAL OPERATION (MANUAL)
In this operating mode, the decision to change gear
is left to the driver who decides the most
appropriate moment.
To change gears in MANUAL operating mode
proceed as follows:
❒move lever to + (UP) to engage higher gear;
or
❒move lever to – (DOWN) to engage lower gear.
The system will cut in automatically preventing
gearshifting only if the request to change gear will
impair regular engine and transmission operation;
the system will also shift down gears automatically
when the engine (e.g.: at slowing down).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
multifunction display (see paragraph “Warning
lights and messages”).

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
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.
