MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
Transmission Temperature
High
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 malfunction, do not use the accelerator to keep the vehicle at a
standstill (for example holding on a hill); the clutch could be damaged by overheat-
ing. Use the brake pedal instead and operate the accelerator only when you are
ready to drive away.
Press Brake Pedal / Startup
Delayed
This message appears when the key is first turned ON, if the brake pedal is not
depressed and/or the gear selector is not in NEUTRAL (N). The gear selector must
be in the NEUTRAL (N) position, and the brake pedal must be pressed, to allow
engine cranking. Place the gear selector 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 Unavailable 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.
