LIMIT THE LEVER MOVEMENT
WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE
PEDAL
To shift the gear lever from the P (Park)
position , the ignition device must be in
position the ENGINE position (engine
running or off) and the brake pedal must
be pressed. Moreover, it is necessary to
press the button on the gear lever.
To shift the gear lever from the N
position , the brake pedal must be
pressed if the ignition device is in
position ENGINE.
AUTOMATIC DRIVING MODE
D can be selected from sequential
operation in any driving conditions.
In automatic driving mode, the best
ratio is selected by the electronic
transmission control unit depending on
speed, engine load (accelerator pedal
position) and gradient of the road.
Kick-Down function
To resume speed quickly, when the
accelerator pedal is pressed fully, the
transmission control system downshifts
(kick-down function).
WARNING When driving on roads with
poor grip conditions (snow, ice, etc.)
avoid activating the kick-down function.
SEQUENTIAL DRIVING MODE
In sequential driving mode, the dual
clutch automatic transmission works like
a manual transmission.
Shifting gears
Move the lever sideways (to the left)
manually from position D to the
sequential position:
lever towards "+": shift up
lever towards "−": shift down
The engagement of a lower or higher
gear is only permitted if the engine revs
allow it.
If the car is stopped with a higher gear
than 1st speed engaged, the transmission
will automatically engage 1st gear.
MOVING THE CAR
To move the car from P, press the brake
pedal and, using the button on the gear
lever, move the lever to the desired
position (D, R or "Sequential mode"); the
instrument panel display will show the
engaged gear.
WARNING The inconsistency between
the gear actually engaged and the
position of the gear lever (shown on
the display) is indicated by the letter
corresponding to the position of
the lever flashing on the panel (also
accompanied by an acoustic warning).
This condition should not be interpreted
as an operational fault, but simply as a
request by the system to repeat the
manoeuvre.
WARNING With the electric parking
brake released and brake pedal released,
engine at idling speed and gear lever
in position D, R or sequential, pay the
utmost care because the car can move
even without the operation of the
accelerator pedal. This condition can be
used with the car on a level surface
during tight parking manoeuvres using
the brake pedal only.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Shift the gear lever to P (Park) before
shutting down the car by pressing the
button next to the steering wheel
fig. 149.
