SEMIAUTOMATIC OPERATION
(MANUAL)
In the MANUAL operating mode, the dis-
play shows the gear engaged.
In this operating mode, the decision to
change gear is left to the driver who decides
the most appropriate moment.
The requests to change gear may take
place through:
– the control lever on the centre console
( A-fig. 126 );
– the buttons on the steering wheel
(
fig. 127
), which can be operated only
when the car speed exceeds 0.5 km/h.
The MANUAL operating mode is set
when, with the
CITY
mode selected, the
CITY button( A-fig. 128 ) is pressed
again, excluding the previously selected
mode.
When changing gear it is not necessary
to release the accelerator pedal because the
Selespeed system directly controls the en-
gine in such a way as to:
– reduce and then increase engine torque;
– adapt the engine speed to the latest
gear engaged.
When downshifting, the engine is accel-
erated automatically to bring it to the speed
necessary with the new gear ratio.
The neutral command ( N ) is accepted un-
til the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h.
The reverse gear engagement command
( R ) is accepted only if the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
