Using The Dualogic Gearbox; Operating Mode; Manual Logic; Auto Logic - Fiat 500 C Owner's Handbook Manual

IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the vehicle is
completely stationary. With the engine
running, wait for at least 2 seconds
with the clutch pedal fully pressed
before engaging reverse to prevent
damage to the gears and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
the sliding ring A-fig. 87 under the
knob and shift the lever to the right and
back.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only to change gear. Do not
drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. For
versions/markets, where provided, the
electronic clutch control could cut in,
interpreting the incorrect driving style
as a fault.
