It is not possible to select N (Neutral)
mode from P (Park) mode.
P (Park) mode is automatically activated
if the following conditions are met
simultaneously:
D (Drive) or R (Reverse) operating
mode is active;
the vehicle speed is below 0 km/h (or
0 mph);
the brake pedal is released;
the driver’s seat belt is not fastened;
the driver’s door is open.
If using the gear shift in "sequential"
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.

(Drive) or R (Reverse) when the vehicle is
stopped or is moving at a low speed, the
brake pedal must also be pressed.

shifting from position P (or N) to another
position.
WARNING After selecting a gear, wait
a few seconds before accelerating. This
precaution is particularly important with
a cold engine.
AutoStick - Manual (sequential)
shifting mode
In the case of frequent gearshifting (e.g.
for sport driving, when the vehicle is
driven with a heavy load, on slopes, with
strong headwind or when towing heavy
trailers), it is recommended to use the
Autostick (sequential shifting) mode to
select and keep a lower fixed ratio.
In these conditions, the use of a lower
gear improves vehicle performance,
preventing overheating.
It is possible to shift from D mode (Drive)
to sequential mode regardless of vehicle
speed.
Activation
Starting from D (Drive) mode, to activate
the sequential drive mode, move the
lever to the left (– and + indication of the
panel). The gear engaged will be shown
on the instrument panel display.
Gearshifting is made by moving the gear
lever forwards, towards symbol – or
backwards, towards symbol +.

The gear can be manually shifted also
by using the levers behind the steering
wheel, pull the right gear lever (+)
towards the steering wheel and release
it to engage a higher gear; perform the
same operation with the left lever (–) to
engagea lower gear fig.111.
To engage N (Neutral): pull
simultaneously both levers.
To activate D (Drive) mode, from N
(Neutral), P (Parking) and R (Reverse):
