Deactivation
To deactivate the sequential driving mode, bring
the gear selector back in position DRIVE (D)
("automatic" driving mode).

NOTE:

To select the correct gear for maximum
deceleration (engine brake), keep the gear
paddle pulled (–): the transmission goes to
an operating mode in which the vehicle can
slow down easily.
The vehicle will keep the gear selected by the
driver until the safety conditions allow it.
This means, for example, that the system will
try to prevent the engine from switching off,
automatically downshifting if the engine speed
is too low.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LIMP HOME
M
ODE
Transmission function is monitored electronically
for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected
that could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is activated. In this condition, the transmission stays in
FOURTH gear, regardless of the selected gear.
Positions PARK (P), REVERSE (R) and
NEUTRAL (N) still work.
The symbol might light up in the instrument
cluster.
Temporary failure
In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK (P), if
possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL (N).
3. Push and hold the ignition until the engine turns off.
4. Wait for about 10 seconds, then restart the engine.
5. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmis -
sion will return to normal operation.

NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom -
mend that you visit an authorized dealer at your
earliest possible convenience. An authorized
dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if
the problem could reoccur. If the transmission
cannot be reset, service is required at an autho -
rized dealer.
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK
(BTSI) S
YSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with a BTSI that holds the
gear selector in PARK (P) unless the brakes are
applied.
This system prevents you from moving the gear
selector from position PARK (P) unless the brakes
are applied.
To shift the transmission out of PARK (P), the
ignition must be cycled to the ON/RUN position
(engine running or not) and the brake pedal must
be pressed.
Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Disabling
Only if strictly necessary (e.g. pushing the vehicle,
conveyor vehicle washing systems), place the
vehicle in the NEUTRAL (N) position when
stopping the engine. See the following steps:
1. Bring the vehicle to a standstill.
2. Place the transmission in the NEUTRAL (N)
position.
3. Push the ignition button for at least three seconds.
The automatic activation of PARK (P) when the
engine is stopped can also be deactivated on the
Information and Entertainment system by
selecting the following functions on the main
menu: "Settings", "Driver Assistance" and
"Automatic Parking Brake".
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking
on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could
lose their grip and the vehicle could skid,
causing a collision or personal injury.
