by returning the lever to the A/Mposi-
tion.

ter the lever has been moved and remains
in the gear memorized before the key was
removed.

buzzer sounds to indicate errors between
the lever position and the gear effectively
engaged until the inconsistency is resolved.MANUAL OPERATION

In this operating mode, the driver is re-
sponsible for choosing the best gear ra-
tio to engage, depending on the car op-
erating conditions.

❒move the lever to the +position
fig. 1to engage a higher gear;
or
❒move the lever to the –position fig. 1
to engage a lower gear.
The accelerator pedal need not be re-
leased during the gear change.The system will not allow the gear change
if the gear shift request could impair the
correct operation of the engine and gear-
box.
In this case, the system will notify the dri-
ver that it is not possible to change gear
accompanied by a buzzer.
The system will shift down through the
gears automatically when the engine is
idling (e.g. during deceleration).
