How do you use the automatic transmission?

Model: Fiat 500 500 X - Years 2014-2022
Part: Transmission

In this video we can see how to properly use an automatic transmission when we are in parking mode. In fact, we don't always know if we are following the correct procedure. The car in the video is a Fiat 500X, but the basic concept is valid for all cars with this type of transmission. To park, first we must press the brake, then put the gear in "N", engage the handbrake and then go to "P"; now we can release the brake pedal and turn off the car. This is done to transfer the mechanical stress to the braking system, rather than to the transmission components.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening.
