RPM adjustment during gearshifting
Under racing-style driving conditions
(engine over 3,000 RPM) the RPM rate is
adjusted automatically during gearshifting.
This is even more apparent as engine speed
increases.
N (Neutral) request
If necessary, N can be requested at any
speed.
Subsequently, if an
upshift is requested, the
system will engage the gear most suited to
the speed of the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
When the vehicle stops, the system
automatically engages
1st
gear (unless
N
has been requested before).
With the vehicle stationary and the engine
running, hold the brake pedal down until
your are ready to start off again.
Turning off the engine and the system
The engine can be turned off either with
the gearshift in N or a gear engaged.
After turning the ignition key from position
II
to position
0
, the display will remain on
for a few more seconds to indicate which
gear is engaged. If the gearshift is in N , a
buzzer will sound.
Do not start the vehicle before the
display has turned off.
Never leave the vehicle with the gearshift
in
N
but engage a gear (
1st
or
R
), check
that the display does not fl ash and always
engage the handbrake. Never leave the
vehicle with the engine running.
Do not remove the key when the vehicle
is moving! The system and the display will
remain active, but malfunctioning, until
the vehicle stops. In addition, the steering
wheel will lock automatically with the fi rst
rotation of the steering wheel.
In this case, the failure warning light will
come on (see page 39 ) and before starting
off again, the system and the display must
be turned off and the “start-up” procedure
repeated.
In any case, it is best to:
• Turn off the engine and the system
holding the brake pedal down.
• Do not request a gearshift while the
system is switching off.
Other system functions
“Automatic gearshift” mode
This mode is activated by pressing the
AUTO button on the center console.
Activation is signaled by the word AUTO
appearing on the gear display, on the
instrument panel.
The system will automatically shift the gears
UP and DOWN according to the vehicle
speed, the engine RPM and the torque/
power requested by the driver.
