Moving the vehicle
To move the vehicle, from position P
press the brake pedal and, select the
desired gear turning the control (A)
fig. 219 on the dashboard: D to move
forwards or R to engage reverse. The
display will show the gear engaged.
In all selected driving modes, when the
brake pedal is released, the vehicle
starts moving forwards or backwards
("creeping" effect). The accelerator
should not be pressed in this case.
Automatic shift to P function
The function automatically put the
transmission in P (Park) if there is any
indication that the driver may leave the
vehicle while the transmission is in D
(Drive), N (Neutral) or R (Reverse).
Operation with the ignition device
to the ENGINE position
The Auto Park function is activated
when the transmission is in position D
(Drive), N (Neutral) or R (Reverse) and
the following conditions are detected:
Seat belt not fastened
Brake pedal released
Accelerator pedal released
Driver's door open
Vehicle speed lower than 3 km/h.
Operation with the ignition device
to the STOP position
The Auto Park function is activated
when the transmission is in position

D (Drive), N (Neutral) or R (Reverse),
the vehicle speed is less than 3 km/h
and the user requests the vehicle to be
turned off by turning the ignition device
to the STOP position.
Gear engagement inhibition
This system prevents shifting the
transmission from position P (Park) or
N (Neutral) if the brake pedal has not
been previously pressed. With ignition
device in the ENGINE position:
the brake pedal must be pressed
in order to shift the transmission from
position P (Park) to positions R, N or D;
to shift the transmission from position
N (Neutral) to positions R or D the
brake pedal must be pressed.
Stopping the engine
The system automatically engages P

(ignition device in STOP position).
To stop the engine at speeds higher
than 2.5 km/h hold the button of the
ignition device pressed or press it three
times in a row within a few seconds.
The ignition device is in the ENGINE
position.
IMPORTANT
146) The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
147) Only engage a gear while keeping the
brake pedal fully pressed.
148) The unexpected movement of the
vehicle could injure the occupants or
people nearby. As a general rule, do
not get out of the vehicle when it is in
"READY" mode. Before leaving the vehicle,
always apply the parking brake, put the
transmission in the P (Park) position and
turn the ignition device to the STOP
position. In this mode, the transmission
remains locked in position P (Park), thus
preventing any accidental movement of
the vehicle.
149) When you get out of the vehicle,
always turn the ignition device to the STOP
position and lock all the doors.
150) NEVER leave children unattended
inside the vehicle, let alone leave it with the
doors unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the electric parking brake, the brake pedal
or the transmission button.
151) Do not leave the electronic key inside
or near the vehicle (or in a place accessible
to children). A child could activate the
electric window winders, other controls or
even start the vehicle.
152) Never use position P (Park) instead of
the electric parking brake. Always engage
the electric parking brake when parking the
