WARNING!
• It is dangerous to move the shift lever
out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if the
engine speed is higher than idle speed.
Only shift into gear when the engine is
idling normally and when your foot is
firmly pressing on the brake pedal.
• As with all vehicles, you should never
exit a vehicle while the engine is
running. Before exiting a vehicle,
always apply the electronic parking
brake, shift the transmission into P
(Park), and turn the engine off.
•
When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with a function
which requires the transmission to be
placed in P (Park) before the engine can
be turned off. This prevents the driver
from inadvertently leaving the vehicle
without having placed the transmission
in P (Park). This system also locks the
transmission in P (Park) whenever the
ignition device is in the STOP position.

four gear shift "pulse activation" buttons,
located on the dashboard, between the
two central screens which can have the

cluster display, except in Corsa mode,
where it is located in the center.
