When the driver's door is opened with
the gearshift lever A in a position
different from P, an acoustic signal
will sound for a few seconds and
a message warning the driver that
the gearshift lever is not in P will be
displayed.
Gearshifting is always active
and may be performed
even when one or more
doors, the engine compartment lid
or the luggage compartment lid are
open. Therefore, in these conditions,
take great care to avoid moving the
gearshift lever and so accidentally
engage gears.

Selecting automatic or sequential
manual operating mode
The gearbox can be used both in fully
automatic mode (position D) and in
sequential manual mode (positions
+ o -).
To select the mode, shift the gearshift
lever A to:
D – automatic gearshifting (AUTO);
MANUAL (+ / -) – sequential manual
gearshifting.
The lever can always be shifted from
one position to the other, even when
the vehicle is moving.
The lever can continuously be shifted
from D to MANUAL.
If automatic gearshifting has been
set, the word "AUTO" and the letter
"D" will be shown on the instrument
panel display, while if sequential
manual mode has been set, the word
"MANUAL" and the gear engaged
will be shown on the same display.
