Starting and Driving
D (Drive)
This range should be used for most city
and highway driving. It provides the
smoothest upshifts and downshifts
and the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically shifts up
and down through all gears. The
D (Drive) mode provides optimum
driving characteristics under all normal
operating conditions of the vehicle.
• Vehicle stationary: to switch from D
(Drive) to R (Reverse) requires brake
pedal and unlock button pressed and
the action on the shift lever: to reach
N (Neutral) starting from D (Drive) is
possible by only acting on the shift
lever.
• To enable special operations while
the car is moving at a low speed,
such as getting out of marsh or snow,
it is possible to run quickly from D
(Drive) to R (Reverse), and vice versa,
by pressing the unlock button and
acting on the shift lever passing from
N (Neutral).
• Vehicle moving: switching to N
(Neutral) from D (Drive) it is not
necessary to press brake pedal.
• From D (Drive) selected mode it
is always possible to switch to M
+/- (Manual) mode, by move the
shift lever to the left (see following
paragraph); to return to "D"
position, move the shift lever to the
right. It is possible to shift from D
(Drive) mode to M +/- (Manual) mode
regardless of car speed.
• When in D (Drive) mode, using the
paddles behind the steering wheel
(if equipped), will cause the system
to enter a temporary function and
enable the manual shift mode. This
range is indicated with the symbols
"+/-" above and below "D" letter on
the gear range field of the display.
The system will then switch back to
automatic mode according to time
elapsed in “temporary” mode and
driving conditions.
At extremely cold temperatures (-30
°
C
/ -23
°
F or below), transmission may be
affected by the low temperature of
the engine and transmission. Normal
operation will resume once the
transmission temperature has risen to
a normal level.
M +/- (Manual)
This mode is obtained by moving
the shift lever to the left in "M +/-"
position.
In this mode, the transmission interacts
with the driver in order to allow
manual shift and ensure increased
control of the vehicle. The current
mode allows the transmission system
to optimise the engine brake action,
remove undesired shifting into higher
and lower gears and improve the
overall performance of the vehicle.
This mode allows you to move the
shift lever step by step forward "
–
"
or backward "+" without pressing
the unlock button. The current
transmission gear is displayed on the
instrument cluster beside "M".
Manual mode can be activated at any
time, with no need to release the
brake pedal.
In M +/- (Manual) mode, the
transmission will shift up or down (+/
–
)
if manually selected by the driver by
using the shift lever, or shift paddles
on the steering wheel (if foreseen).
The transmission remains in the
engaged gear until the driver shifts
into another higher or lower gear,
except in the following cases.
