• If a
DOWN
shift is requested in order to
start overtaking where rapid acceleration
is required, push the accelerator pedal
just before moving the lever.
• Wait until one gearshift has been
completed before requesting the next
one, thereby avoiding multiple requests
in rapid succession.
RPM adjustment during gearshifting
Under racing-style driving conditions
(engine over 3000 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
UP
shifting 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 stopped and the engine
running, hold the brake pedal down until
you 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 display the gear
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 illuminate, (
see page 33
) and before
starting off again, the system and the
display must be turned off and the “Start-
up” procedure repeated.
In any event, it is advisable to:
• Turn off the engine and the system
holding the brake pedal pushed down.
• Not request a gearshift while the system
is turning off.
