If the engine fails to start after several
attempts, check for one of the following
causes:
- insufficient speed of the starter motor
(flat battery)
- ignition device faulty
- electrical contacts faulty
- fuel pump fuses blown.
Do not run the engine at high speeds
until the engine oil temperature has
reached at least 65÷70 °C (149–158 °F),
approximately.
Driving the vehicle (F1 gearbox)
With the engine started, the vehicle
stationary and the brake pedal pushed,
pull the right-hand UP lever towards the
steering wheel to engage 1st gear.
Use 1st gear for parking or for
starting uphill.
WARNING
WARNING
Release the brake pedal and press the ac-
celerator to start off.
As soon as a gearshift is requested (with
the vehicle in motion) using the levers UP
or DOWN, the system will exit the "AUTO
easy exit" mode.
easy exit" mode.
�
With the engine on and the vehicle
stationary, you can shift directly from 1st to
R by pressing button
R
on the centre
console, and from reverse to 1st gear by
pulling the UP lever towards the steering
wheel.
About your vehicle
When reverse gear is engaged, an
acoustic safety signal beeps
intermittently for the entire time that R
remains engaged.
If the system automatically engages 2nd
gear when shifting from R to 1st gear,
jamming has occurred on 1st gear.
Therefore, this is not a malfunction, as it
falls within the system operation logic.
For the same reason, when shifting from
1st gear to R, the system will
automatically engage N if the gear has
jammed.
During prolonged stops with the engine
running, it is advisable to keep the
gearshift in N.
On downhill stretches, if you allow the
vehicle to move forward in N, when an
UP-shift is requested, the system will
engage a gear in relation to the vehicle
speed.
For safety reasons, the system activates the
buzzer and automatically shifts to N
when, with the vehicle stationary, the
engine running and a gear engaged:
- the brake or the accelerator pedal is not
depressed for more than 50 seconds
