could operate incorrectly until it cools
down;
when using the vehicle with
extremely low external temperatures,
the transmission operation may change
according to engine temperature and
vehicle speed: activation of the higher
gears could be inhibited until the
transmission oil is correctly warmed up;
this function accelerates engine and
transmission warming up. Complete
operation of the transmission will be
enabled as soon as the oil temperature
reaches the predefined value.
WARNING
137) Never use position P instead of
the parking brake. Always engage the
parking brake when parking the vehicle to
prevent injury or damage caused by the
unexpected movement of the vehicle.
138) If the P position is not engaged, the
vehicle could move and injure people.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that
the gear lever is in position P and that the
parking brake is engaged.
139) Do not shift the gear lever to N and
do not stop the engine when driving on
a downhill road. This type of driving is
dangerous and reduces the possibility
of intervening in the case of variation
of the road traffic or surface. You risk
losing control of the vehicle and causing
accidents.

142) Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. In addition, always remove the
ignition key when leaving the vehicle and
take it out with you.
