OPERATION
The gearbox can work in two operating
modes:
❒the first mode is manual (MANUAL):
the driver directly requests gearshift-
ing;
❒the second mode is automatic (AU-
TO): the system directly decides when
shifting gears. With this operating log-
ic it is possible to activate the ECO
(Economy) function to contain con-
sumption by pressing button E-fig. 3
on the gearbox mask.
To shift gears and to select the operating
mode (MANUALor AUTO) use the
gear lever A-fig. 1set on the central con-
sole.

With the car stationary and the key re-
moved, it is possible to shift the lever
with/without the brake pedal pressed. The
system will perform no actuation when
shifting the lever and the gear engaged will
be the one stored before removing the ig-
nition key.
IMPORTANT With the engine off and the
car stationary, any error between lever
position and gear engaged is indicated by
warning light (
è) coming on for a few sec-
onds on the instrument panel together
with the message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display.
GEAR LEVER
The gear lever A-fig. 1is located on the
dashboard and it is of the floating “multi-
stable position” type, i.e.: it features three
stable positions and three unstable ones.
The three stable positions correspond to
neutral (N), reverse (R) and central po-
sition set between the unstable positions
UP (+) and DOWN(–).
Unstable positions (i.e.: positions aban-
doned as soon as the gear lever is re-
leased), are the upshifting position UP (+),
the downshifting position DOWN(–)
and the automatic mode position (A/M).
To return to manual mode, set the gear
lever back to A/M.
