Deactivation
To deactivate the sequential driving mode,
bring the gear selector back in position DRIVE
(D) ("automatic" driving mode).
NOTE:
To select the correct gear for maximum
deceleration (engine brake), just keep the
gear paddle pulled (–): the transmission
goes to an operating mode in which the
vehicle can slow down easily.
The vehicle will keep the gear selected by
the driver until the safety conditions allow it.
This means, for example, that the system
will try to prevent the engine from switching
off, automatically downshifting if the engine
speed is too low.
Automatic Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electroni
-
cally for abnormal conditions. If a condition is
detected that could result in transmission
damage, Transmission Limp Home Mode is
activated.
In this condition, the transmission stays in
fourth gear, regardless of the selected gear.
Positions PARK (P), REVERSE (R) and
NEUTRAL (N) still work.
The symbol might light up in the instrument
cluster.
Temporary failure
In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK (P), if
possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL (N).
3. Push and hold the ignition until the engine
turns off.
4. Wait for about 10 seconds, then restart
the engine.
5. Shift into the desired gear range. If the
problem is no longer detected, the trans
-
mission will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit your authorized
dealer at your earliest possible convenience.
Your authorized dealer has diagnostic equip
-
ment to determine if the problem could
reoccur. If the transmission cannot be reset,
service is required at your authorized dealer.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Trans
-
mission Shift Interlock system (BTSI) that
holds the gear selector in PARK (P) unless the
brakes are applied.
This system prevents you from moving the
gear selector from position PARK (P) unless
the brakes are applied.
To shift the transmission out of PARK (P), the
ignition must be cycled to the ON/RUN posi
-
tion (engine running or not) and the brake
pedal must be pressed.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock Disabling
Only if strictly necessary (e.g. pushing the
vehicle, conveyor vehicle washing systems),
inhibit the automatic activation of PARK (P)
mode when stopping the engine. To do so,
follow the directions below:
1. Bring the vehicle to a standstill.
2. Place the transmission in the NEUTRAL (N)
position.
3. Push the ignition button for at least three
seconds.
The automatic activation of PARK (P) when the
engine is stopped can also be deactivated on
the Information and Entertainment system by
selecting the following functions on the main
menu: "Settings", "Driver Assistance" and
"Automatic Parking Brake".
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine
braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle
could skid, causing a collision or personal
injury.
