MANUAL SEQUENTIAL 

OPERATION

To use the manual sequential oper-

ation move the lever to the two-posi-

tion left sector (fig. 137):

(+) = higher gear

(–) = lower gear.

Shifting to the manual sequential

sector is possible only from position

D: the gear automatically selected

when the lever is moved will remain

engaged.

It is possible to pass to the gear

manual sequential control in any

driving condition.

To engage a higher gear, move the

lever to (+) and to shift a lower gear

move the lever to (–).

IMPORTANT If gear shift gener-

ates a runaway speed rate, such gear

is cancelled by the electronic control

unit and the driver is warned by a

buzzer and by the engaged gear

flashing on the instrument panel dis-

play.

When the manual

sequential operation is

set, gears shall be shifted

manually, as for versions with the

traditional manual gearbox. Only

when the car stops the gear auto-

matically engaged is the first one.

If the lever is brought back to D the

gearbox immediately starts to work

automatically and will be engaged

according to the type of driving

selected.

IMPORTANT The electronic con-

trol unit is programmed to shift one

gear at a time, therefore rapid and

repeated actions do not correspond

to rapid and repeated gear engaging.

A higher or lower gear is engaged by

shifting the lever to position (+) or

(–) after the previous request has

been realized.

In case of failure of the manual

sequential system, the electronic

control unit will select the automatic

operation.
