BUZZER WARNINGS
The buzzer is activated when:
❒ reverse gear is engaged (R);
❒ clutch overheating occurs when mov-
ing off (in this case it is necessary to
"force" start-up without hesitation or,
if the car is on a slope, release the ac-
celerator and use the brake pedal to
stop the car);
❒ an attempt is made to start the engine
with a gear engaged and the brake ped-
al is not pressed completely;
Still for safety reasons, when the car is sta-
tionary, with engine started gear engaged,
the system activates the buzzer and au-
tomatically shifts to neutral (N) when:
❒ no action is made on the accelerator
and/or brake pedal for at least 3 min-
utes;
❒ the brake is pressed for over 10 min-
utes;
❒ the driver's door is opened and no ac-
tion is made on the accelerator and
brake by at least 2 seconds;
❒ a gearbox failure has been detected.

STOPPING THE CAR
To stop the car, simply release the accel-
erator pedal and, if necessary press the
brake pedal.
Regardless of the gear engaged and the op-
erating mode activated (MANUAL or AU-
TO) the system automatically disengages
the clutch and shifts to a lower gear.
Stopping the car the system automatical-
ly engages the first gear (1).
PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely nec-
essary to engage first gear (1) or reverse
(R) and also the handbrake if the car is on
a slope.
When turning off the engine with the car
on an uphill slope and a gear engaged, it
is absolutely necessary to wait for the dis-
play showing the gear engaged to go off
before releasing the brake pedal.
If the gearbox is in neutral (N) and want-
ing to engage a parking gear, the system
should be activated and with the foot on
the brake pedal it is necessary to engage
first gear (1) or reverse (R).
TOWING THE CAR
See the instructions contained in para-
graph "Towing the car" in section "In an
emergency".
