MANUAL OPERATION (MANUAL)
In this operating mode, the decision to change gear is
left to the driver who decides the most appropriate
moment.
To change gears in MANUAL operating mode proceed
as follows:
❒move lever to (+) to engage higher gear;
or
❒move lever to (–) to engage lower gear.
The system will cut in automatically preventing
gearshifting only if the request to change gear will
impair regular engine and transmission operation; the
system will also shift down gears automatically when
the engine (e.g.: at slowing down).The system will warn the driver that the required gear
will not be engaged through the sound of the buzzer
and a dedicated message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display (see paragraph “Warning lights
and messages”).

STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine can be started either with a gear engaged or in neutral (N),
always press the brake pedal first.
After starting:
❒the gearbox sets to neutral (N) automatically
❒lever (A) keeps the same position it had before starting
❒the reconfigurable multifunction display shows (N) and a buzzer will
indicate if the lever position and the gear engaged are not matching
❒gears that can be engaged are: 1st, 2nd or reverse (R) gear.
IMPORTANT When trying to start the engine with gearbox not in
neutral (any gearshift lever position other than N) and without pressing
the brake pedal, the reconfigurable multifunction display will show a
dedicated message (see paragraph “Warning lights and messages”). In this
event, to start the engine just repeat operation keeping the brake pedal
pressed.

If the engine fails to start with the gear engaged, the driver is informed of the
potentially dangerous situation due to the fact that the gearbox is in neutral by
the buzzer.IMPORTANT
