UP
DOWN
Important note
Immediately release the UP and DOWN paddles as soon as the selected
gear is displayed in the gearbox area of the instrument panel; if held
too long, the red gearbox failure warning light
will come on and an
acoustic signal will be emitted.
Important note
None of the gears can be engaged if the luggage compartment lid is
open or not properly closed. When the vehicle is stationary, with
the driver-side door open or not properly closed and the brake pedal
released, the system disengages the gear engaged after approximately
two seconds.
UP-shifting
Use the right-hand UP paddle without releasing the accelerator pedal. An
UP-shift request is not accepted when selecting the requested gear forces
the engine to underrev or if an UP-shift is already in progress because of
engine overrevving.
In any event, it is advisable to:
●
shift gears without releasing the accelerator pedal if pressed;
●
Wait until gearshifting has been completed before requesting the
next shift, avoiding a rapid sequence of multiple requests.
UP-shifting due to overrevving
The system automatically selects a higher gear if the accelerator pedal
is pressed and the engine approaches the “runaway speed rate” (over-
revving).
Important note
UP-shifting due to overrevving will not occur when the system is in
"SPORT", “RACE”, “CT OFF” and “ESC OFF” driving modes.
DOWN-shifting
Use the left-hand DOWN paddle without releasing the accelerator pedal. A
DOWN-shift request is not accepted if engagement of the requested gear
forces the engine beyond a certain RPM, depending on the gear requested,
or if a DOWN-shift is already in progress because of engine under-revving.
In any event, it is advisable to:
●
shift gears without releasing the accelerator pedal if pressed;
●
if DOWN-shifting is requested to start overtaking which requires
quick acceleration, press the accelerator pedal just before using the
paddle;
●
wait until gearshifting has been completed before requesting the
next shift, avoiding a rapid sequence of multiple requests.
DOWN-shifting due to underrevving
The system shifts down “automatically” if the engine goes below a
minimum number of revs (1250 RPM).
