“Cambiocorsa” gearbox
WARNING: Engagement of the reverse
gear is accompanied by a safety sound
signal, which sounds intermittently for
the entire time in which it is engaged.
When shifting from reverse to 1
st
gear,
if the system automatically engages
the 2
nd
gear, it indicates that a
problem has occurred with the 1st
gear. Therefore, this is not a failure, as
it falls into the logic of the system
operation. For the same reason, the
system automatically engages neutral
(
N ) in case of interference when
shifting from 1
st
gear to reverse.
During prolonged parking periods
with the engine running, it is advisable
to keep the gearshift in neutral (
N ).
WARNING: On certain occur on
downhill routes, if you leave the car in
neutral (
N ), when you request a higher
gear UP , the gear engaged will depend
on the current speed of the car.
For your safety reasons, the system
activates the sound signal and
automatically sets the neutral gear (
N )
when the car is stopped, the engine is
on and the gear is engaged:
– if the brake pedal or the accelerator
is not used for over 1 minute
– if the brake pedal is pressed for
more than 10 minutes
– if the door is opened without
pressing the brake pedal or the
accelerator
– if the engine lid is opened.
WARNING: The warning buzzer is
activated also if the clutch overheats
during the starting "pickup"
maneuver.
In this case, the departure procedure
must be "forced", avoiding hesitation
or keeping the car stopped and
applying on the brake pedal after
having released the accelerator.
Hill Holder Strategy
The Hill Holder system helps the driver
when starting-off on an uphill slope.
It intervenes only following a vehicle
stop when the brake pedal is released,
keeping the car stopped for a moment,
so as to allow the driver to move from
the brake to the accelerator pedal.
The system is capable of varying its
intervention time depending on the
road slope. This time ranges from a
minimum (0.06 seconds) on downhill
stretches and a maximum (1.2 seconds)
on uphill stretches, so that the driver
will not perceive the vehicle as
"braked" downhill.
The function that calculates the road
gradient is only active at speeds of over
8 km/h, therefore gradient changes at
lower speeds will not be detected.
Example: if you are driving uphill and
you make a reversing manoeuvre, the
system will not detect a gradient
change, and its maximum intervention
time will remain 1.2 seconds.
