Software
Attention
The electronic gearshift prevents shift errors. If a ‘dog to dog’ situation occurs
during the warming up procedure, the ECU initiates an automatic throttle blip.
This is perceived audibly as the engine revs increase shortly. When downshifting
only use the shift paddle without using the clutch or throttle --> the ECU
controls the clutch and throttle.
