Easy Select 4Wd; Operation - Fiat Fullback Single cab Owner's Manual

119) For vehicles equipped with the shift
paddles, do not use the left- and right-hand
shift paddles at the same time. Doing so
could cause a shift of gear ratio that you do
not expect.
120) If the selector lever position display
blinks while you are driving, it is likely that a
safety device is operating because of a
malfunction in the automatic transmission.
Have the vehicle inspected by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
121) If the lamp comes on, reduce the
engine speed and stop the vehicle in a safe
area. Then set the selector lever to "P"
(PARK) position and idle the engine until the
warning lamp goes off. When the warning
lamp goes off, resume normal driving. If the
warning lamp does not go off, we
recommend you to have your vehicle
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
122) Before selecting a gear with the
engine running and the vehicle stationary,
fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping. The vehicle will begin
to move as soon as the gear is engaged,
especially when the engine speed is high,
at fast idle or with the air conditioner
operating, the brakes should only be
released when you are ready to drive away.
123) Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot at all times. Using the left foot could
cause driver movement delay in case of an
emergency.
124) To prevent sudden acceleration, never
race the engine when shifting from the "P"
(PARK) or "N" (NEUTRAL) position.
125) Operating the accelerator pedal while
the other foot is resting on the brake pedal
will affect braking efficiency and may cause
premature wear of brake pads.

126) Use the selector lever in the correct
shift position in accordance with driving
conditions. Never coast downhill backward
with the selector lever in the {"D" (DRIVE) or
sports mode} or coast forward with the
selector lever in the "R" (REVERSE)
position. The engine may stop and the
unexpected increase in brake pedal effort
and steering wheel weight could lead to an
accident.
127) Do not race the engine with brake
pedal pressed when the vehicle is
stationary. This can damage the A/T. Also,
when you depress the accelerator pedal
while holding down the brake pedal with
the selector lever in the "P" (PARK), "N"
(NEUTRAL) or "D" (DRIVE) position, the
engine revolutions may not rise as high as
when performing the same operation with
the selector lever in the "N" (NEUTRAL)
position.
128) Never hold the vehicle stationary on a
hill using the accelerator pedal (without
using the brake pedal). Always apply the
parking brake and/or service brakes.

Shifting to rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel

low-range indicator lamp indicates the
drive mode-selector setting state. Refer
