MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
Clutch Overheating This message appears, together with a buzzer,
when the clutch overheats.
In this situation, limit stop and go driving and gear shifts or if
necessary stop the vehicle and turn the engine off to allow the
clutch to cool.
If the message continues to appear, contact your
Authorized Dealer.
To avoid clutch failure, do not use the accelerator to keep the
vehicle at a standstill (for example holding on a hill); the
clutch could be damaged by overheating. Use the brake pedal
instead and operate the accelerator only when you are ready to
drive away.
Press Brake Pedal
Delayed Startup
This messages appears when the key is first turned ON, if the
brake is fault and/or the shift lever is not in NEUTRAL (N).
The shift lever must be in the NEUTRAL (N) position, and the
brake pedal must be pressed, to allow engine cranking. Place
the shift lever in NEUTRAL (N) and apply the brake pedal
BEFORE turning the key to the START/AVV position; otherwise,
the engine will not crank and the key must be cycled OFF, then
back on, before cranking is allowed.
Gear Not Available This message appears, along with a warning buzzer:
• When it is not possible to change gear due to a fault in the
system.
• When, due a fault in the system, it is only possible to engage
1st (1), 2nd (2), 3rd (3) or reverse (R).
Contact your authorized dealer if the message continues to
appear.
Shift Not Allowed This message appears, together with a warning buzzer,
when the system will not allow a gear change requested by the
driver (for example, that would cause engine overspeed or
transmission damage).
This message may also appear when starting the engine at low
temperature. In this case the Automated Manual transmission
isn't able to engage first gear, in this situation either use the
engine block heater or allow the engine to idle in NEUTRAL
(N) until the transmission has warmed.
Press Brake Pedal
And Try Again
This message appears accompanied, in some cases, by a
warning buzzer, if you attempt to change gear with the
vehicle parked without pressing the brake pedal.
To shift the transmission (with key on/engine off), press and
hold the brake pedal, move the shift lever to NEUTRAL (N),
then move the shift lever to the desired position.
Shift To Neutral This message appears, together with a warning buzzer, when
the shift lever must be moved to the NEUTRAL (N) position.
When the shift lever is moved to NEUTRAL (N) the message
on the display should go off.
Contact your authorized dealer if the message continues to
appear.
