To engage “P” mode, driver must press
the “P” button.
In order to engage “R”, “N” or “D”
mode, driver have to move the shift
lever by pressing the unlock button. If
the unlock button is not pressed, the instrument cluster shows the popup
message shows in picture.
The lever functions like a joystick, so
releasing it after giving the command,
it automatically returns to the two
stable positions (vertical in line with
“R”, “N” and “D” or in line with “–”
and “+” when in “M +/-“ mode).
• Normally, to engage R (Reverse)
mode, press the brake pedal and the
unlock button together.
• To pass from P (Park) mode directly
to D (Drive) mode, in addition to
pressing the brake pedal, it is also
necessary to press the unlock button.
• Normally, to pass from R (Reverse)

• The P (Park) mode can be
automatically enabled by pressing
the “P” button: if the shift lever was
in “M +/-“ position, will go to central
stable position automatically.
• If using the shift lever in M +/-
(Manual) mode, you can activate it
by moving the lever from D (Drive)
to the left and then forward towards
the “–“ symbol or back towards the
“+” symbol and the gear is shifted.
• To exit P (Park) mode, or to pass
from N (Neutral) to D (Drive) or R
(Reverse) position when the car is
stopped or is moving at a low speed,
the brake pedal must also be
pressed.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT accelerate while shifting
from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to
another mode.
• After selecting a transmission mode,
wait a few seconds before
accelerating. This precaution is
particularly important with a cold
engine. Transmission Status on the Instrument
Cluster
Display
By pressing the unlock button on the
lever, the gear change positions field is
displayed: if you release the button
without moving the lever, the field
disappears after 2 seconds. By
operating instead the lever, the new
range will be indicated in the field
and in the lower part of the display. If the vehicle is in D (Drive) status, in
M +/- (Manual) or temporarily in
manual drive mode, the gear position
is indicated beside the lever status
(“D” or “M”), on the lower part of the
display.
Service Shift Lever In the event of a shift lever
malfunction, a message on the
instrument cluster will invite to stop
the car safety and turn off the engine.Driving

In this way the system moves the
transmission in P (Park) position.
Automatic Transmission Range P (Park)
Use this position to park the vehicle.
The transmission can be shifted from
“P” position only with the brake pedal
and the unlock button pressed: then
move the shift lever. To move the shift
lever from “P” position to any other
position, the engine must be switched
on. The engine can be regularly
started in P (Park) range. Never
attempt to use P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion. When parking on
a level surface, you may press the “P”
button first, and then apply the
electronic parking brake by pulling the
trigger upwards. The Instrument cluster will display the
related indicator light
and the
message for 5 seconds.
When parking on a hill, apply the
parking brake before pressing the “P”
button.
For enhanced security, turn the front
wheels toward the kerb on a downhill
and away from the kerb on an uphill
grade. WARNING!
• Never use the P (Park) mode as a
substitute for the electric parking
brake. Always apply the parking
brake fully when parked to prevent
vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
• Make sure the transmission is in P
(Park) before leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT race the engine when
shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral)
into another gear range, as this can
damage the drivetrain.
• The following indicators should be
used to ensure that you have
engaged the shift lever into the “P”
position:
– when shifting into P (Park), push
the “P” button on the shift lever.
– with the brake pedal released,
verify that “P” position is
illuminated on the shift lever and
in the instrument cluster display.Driving

R (Reverse)
This range is used to move the vehicle
backward.
Switching to R (Reverse) starting from
N (Neutral) is only possible if the
vehicle is moving backwards.
We recommend to shift into R
(Reverse) only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
• Vehicle stationary: switching
between R (Reverse) and D (Drive),
passing from N (Neutral), requires
brake pedal pressed and action on
the lever.
• Vehicle moving: the driver can switch
from R (Reverse) to N (Neutral)
acting on the shift lever without
pressing the unlock button and the
brake pedal.
N (Neutral)
• Vehicle stationary and engine
started: switching from N (Neutral)
to P (Park) requires “P” button
pressed only. Switching from N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse) and/or D
(Drive) requires brake pedal and
unlock button pressed and the
action on the shift lever.
• Vehicle moving: switching from N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse) and/or D
(Drive) requires pressing the unlock button and the action on the shift
lever. Switching to R (Reverse)
starting from N (Neutral) is only
possible if the vehicle is moving
backwards, while switching to D
(Drive) starting from N (Neutral) is
only possible if the vehicle is moving
forwards.
Set the parking brake and shift the
transmission into P (Park) if you must
leave the vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not switch to N (Neutral) and/or
never turn off the ignition to coast
downhill. These are unsafe practices
that limit driver’s response to
changing traffic or road conditions. It
is possible to lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle, coasting, or
driving for any other reason with the
transmission in N (Neutral) can result
in severe transmission damage. See
“Towing a Disabled Vehicle” in section
“In an Emergency” for further
information. D (Drive)
This
range should
be used for most
city and highway driving. It provides
the smoothest upshifts and downshifts
and the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically shifts up
and down through all gears. The D
(Drive) mode provides optimum
driving characteristics under all normal
operating conditions of the vehicle.
• Vehicle stationary: to switch from D
(Drive) to R (Reverse) requires brake
pedal and unlock button pressed
and the action on the shift lever: to
reach N (Neutral) starting from D
(Drive) is possible by only acting on
the shift lever.
• To enable special operations while
the car is moving at a low speed,
such as getting out of marsh or
snow, it is possible to run quickly
from D (Drive) to R (Reverse), and
vice versa, by pressing the unlock
button and acting on the shift lever
passing from N (Neutral).
• Vehicle moving: switching to N
(Neutral) from D (Drive) it is not
necessary to press brake pedal.
• From D (Drive) selected mode it is
always possible to switch to M +/-
(Manual) mode, by move the shift
lever to the left (see followingDriving
5
219

paragraph); to return to “D”
position, move the shift lever to the
right. It is possible to shift from D
(Drive) mode to M +/- (Manual) mode
regardless of car speed.
• When in D (Drive) mode, using the
paddles behind the steering wheel (if
equipped), will cause the system to
enter a temporary function and
enable the manual shift mode. This
range is indicated with the symbols
“+/-” above and below “D” letter on
the gear range field of the display.
The system will then switch back to
automatic mode according to time
elapsed in “temporary” mode and
driving conditions.
At extremely cold temperatures (-23°F /
-30°C or below), transmission may be
affected by the low temperature of
the engine and transmission. Normal
operation will resume once the
transmission temperature has risen to
a normal level.
M +/- (Manual)
This mode is obtained by moving the
shift lever to the left in “M +/-“
position.
In this mode, the transmission interacts
with the driver in order to allow
manual shift and ensure increased
control of the vehicle. The current mode allows the transmission system
to optimise the engine brake action,
remove undesired shifting into higher
and lower gears and improve the
overall performance of the vehicle.
This mode allows you to move the shift
lever step by step forward “–“ or
backward “+” without pressing the
unlock button. The current
transmission gear is displayed on the
instrument cluster beside “M”.
Manual mode can be activated at any
time, with no need to release the
brake pedal.
In M +/- (Manual) mode, the
transmission will shift up or down (+/–)
if manually selected by the driver by
using the shift lever, or shift paddles
on the steering wheel (if foreseen).
The transmission remains in the
engaged gear until the driver shifts into another higher or lower gear,
except in the following cases.
• Lack of accelerator pedal activity will
cause the transmission to revert to
automatic operation. The
transmission will also upshift
automatically once maximum engine
speed is reached.
• If in SPORT mode, the transmission
will remain in the selected gear even
when maximum engine speed is
reached. The transmission will
upshift only if enabled by the driver.
Manual upshift or downshift will be
maintained as long as SPORT mode is
selected, even by full stroke pedal
press.
• If in “M +/-“ or in SPORT mode, the
transmission will automatically
downshift as the vehicle slows to halt
(to prevent engine lugging) and the
current gear will display on the
instrument cluster. Shifting the shift
lever backward “+” or moving the
right shift paddle “+” towards the
steering wheel when stationary, will
cause the vehicle to start in second
gear. If the vehicle speed is too low,
the system will ignore further
upshifts. Avoid using speed control
when the M +/- (Manual) mode is
engaged.Driving
