panied by the message 'Automatic
gear fault' on the multi-function dis-
play, by a "-" a n d l a s h i n g o f t h e

instrument panel display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substan-
tial knock when changing from P to
R and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).

be damaged. When the vehicle is be-
ing driven, illumination of
this warning light and of the
STOP

panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display, indicates that the handbrake
is still on or has not been properly
released.
