MANUAL SEQUENTIAL
OPERATION
To use the manual sequential oper-
ation move the lever to the two-posi-
tion left sector (
fig. 137 ):
( + ) = higher gear
( – ) = lower gear.
Shifting to the manual sequential
sector is possible only from position
D : the gear automatically selected
when the lever is moved will remain
engaged.
It is possible to pass to the gear
manual sequential control in any
driving condition.
To engage a higher gear, move the
lever to ( + ) and to shift a lower gear
move the lever to ( – ).
IMPORTANT If gear shift gener-
ates a runaway speed rate, such gear
is cancelled by the electronic control
unit and the driver is warned by a
buzzer and by the engaged gear
flashing on the instrument panel dis-
play.
When the manual
sequential operation is
set, gears shall be shifted
manually, as for versions with the
traditional manual gearbox. Only
when the car stops the gear auto-
matically engaged is the first one.
If the lever is brought back to D the
gearbox immediately starts to work
automatically and will be engaged
according to the type of driving
selected.
IMPORTANT The electronic con-
trol unit is programmed to shift one
gear at a time, therefore rapid and
repeated actions do not correspond
to rapid and repeated gear engaging.
A higher or lower gear is engaged by
shifting the lever to position (
+ ) or
( – ) after the previous request has
been realized.
In case of failure of the manual
sequential system, the electronic
control unit will select the automatic
operation.
