RECOMMENDATIONS PRECAUTIONS: MA PILOTED MANUAL GEARBOX
Operations on electrical components.Do not disconnect:
The battery when the engine is running.
The ECU with the ignition switched on.
The clutch and gearbox actuators with the ignition switched on.
When carrying out electrical checks: The battery must be correctly charged.
Never use a voltage source higher than 16V.
Never use a lamp to supply an actuator directly.
Before disconnecting connector, check: The condition of the various contacts (for deformation, corrosion, etc).
The presence and the status of the mechanical unlocking.
Driving the vehicle.
IMPERATIVE:
Never move the vehicle with the ignition switched off.
Never push the vehicle to attempt to start it
(impossible with a piloted
manual gearbox).
Towing.
Conditions for towing.
It is necessary to lift the front of the vehicle to tow it, after having
positioned the gear lever in neutral. If there is a gearbox fault or
malfunction, the vehicle can remain immobilised depending on theseriousness of the fault.
If a gear is engaged,the conditions for immobilisation of the
vehicle are:
Combustion engine stopped (the engine should not be started).
The clutch is open (clutched).
In these conditions are met, you can lift the front of the vehicle to tow it.
If it should not be possibe to lift the front of the vehicle, there are
ways to unblock it:
Engage «N», using a diagnostic tool.
Engage «N», without using a diagnostic tool.

Precautions to be taken.
Towing.
The front of the vehicle must be raised in order to be towed.
If the front of the vehicle cannot be raised:
IMPERATIVE: Put gear lever in position «N».
Do not add any oil.
Do not exceed
30 mphover a distance of 30 milesof maximum.
Driving.
Never drive with the ignition switched off.
Never push the vehicle to try to start it
(impossible with an automatic gearbox).
NOTE:The automatic gearbox is only lubricated when the engine is
running.
Repairs on electrical components.
Do not disconnect:
The battery when the engine is running.
The ECU when the ignition is switched on.
Before reconnecting a switch,check: The condition of the various contacts (for deformation, corrosion etc).
The presence and condition of the mechanical locking.
When performing electrical checks: The battery should be correctly charged.
Never use a voltage source higher than 16V.
Never use a test lamp.
