OPERATING MODES
The gearbox can work in two operating
modes:
❒the first manual type (MANUAL), in
which the driver decides directly when
to change gear;
❒the second completely automatic (AU-
TO), in which the system decides when
to make the gear change. It is possible
to use the ECOfunction (Economy)
with this logic which reduces con-
sumption. To activate this function,
press button E-fig. 3on the gear trim.
The selection of the gear and the oper-
ating mode (MANUAL or AUTO) is
made using control lever A-fig. 1in the
centre console.
fig. 3F0H0732m
With the car stationary and the key ex-
tracted the lever can be moved
with/without the brake pedal pressed. The
system does not carry out any action af-
ter the lever has been moved and remains
in the gear memorized before the key was
removed.
IMPORTANT With the engine started,
any mistake between the lever position
and the gear actually engaged is signalled
by a buzzer until consistency is restored.
CONTROL LEVER
The control lever A-fig. 1, located in the
dashboard, is the multistable floating type,
in other words it has three stable and
three unstable positions.
The three stable positions correspond to
neutral (N), reverse (R) and the middle
position between the unstable positions
(+) and (–) fig. 1.
The unstable positions, in other words
those that are abandoned as soon as the
lever is released, are the position request-
ing a higher gear (+), the position request-
ing a lower gear (–) and the automatic op-
erating mode request position (A/M).
The return to manual mode takes place
by returning the lever to position (A/M)

If necessary, (e.g. when overtaking), the
system will shift down a gear or more to
provide the power and torque required
by the vehicle for the acceleration re-
quested by the driver (this all takes place
in automatic mode irrespective of whether
the ECOfunction is activated or not). Automatic operation
(AUTO - ECO)
The ECOfunction can be only activated
only with the automatic logic on.
The ECOfunction is switched on by
pressing button E-fig. 3located on the
trim next to the gear control lever. After
this function has been activated, the re-
configurable multifunction display will
show the gear engaged and the AUTO
and E-fig. 5.
With the ECOfunction activated, the sys-
tem selects the most suitable gear de-
pending on the vehicle speed, engine rpm
and intensity with which the accelerator
pedal is pressed taking containing fuel con-
sumption as the objective into account.
INFORMATION
