Fault finding - System operation21B
Lever operation:
–Each time the lever is moved, it returns to the “S” position automatically.
–When the vehicle has stopped and the engine is switched off and the key is in + after ignition feed position, lever
movements will only be registered if the driver depresses the brake pedal. In this case, all gears are available. The
number of gear changes possible is unlimited.
–When the vehicle has stopped and the engine is running, lever movements will only be registered if the driver
depresses the brake pedal. In this configuration, only gears N, 1, 2 and R are available.
–Position N only allows neutral to be engaged if the driver depresses the brake pedal.
–Position R enables reverse gear to be engaged. Reverse gear will only be engaged if the vehicle has stopped and
if the driver depresses the brake pedal. Engaging reverse when driving is prevented by the sequential gearbox
computer.
Display operation:
AUTO repeater
–As the display has an AUTO (A) symbol, it is possible to display the gear engaged at the same time as
AUTO mode.
Gear selection display
–Vehicle stopped or almost stopped: A new gear will only be displayed after confirmation that the gear has
really been engaged in the gearbox.
–Vehicle being driven: the change in the status of the display will depend on the driving mode selected:
In AUTO mode: simultaneous display of the AUTO mode and the gear engaged.
In MANUAL mode: engaged gear is displayed.
Display programming when gears cannot be engaged
–When a request would lead to engine overspeed or underspeed: the requested gear flashes then initial
gear reappears. Flashing ends after a delay.
–When there is a mechanical fault: application of the “retry” (1) program by the computer.
During retry: the requested gear flashes; then, the engaged gear is displayed on the instrument panel at
the end of the retry period. This program cannot be applied to neutral because the “N” position cannot
flash on the instrument panel; it remains lit.
(1) “RETRY”: If there is a mechanical fault engaging a gear (lower or higher), the computer will detect this
and will attempt to re-engage twice more; if this does not work, the requested gear will flash on the
instrument panel display and the gearbox will return to the gear used prior to this request.

Depress brake pedal symbol:
–The “depress brake” symbol lights up when there is:
–a request to change gear when stopped without the brake pedal applied,
–a request to start the engine with gear engaged without brake pedal applied,
–a request to select N when driving without brake pedal applied,
–a request to select AUTO, with the vehicle stationary, the engine running and 2
nd gear engaged.
–Depress brake pedal symbol goes out:
The symbol goes out if the driver depresses the brake pedal or after a delay.
In the event that the driver makes a request causing the gear requested to flash and the symbol to be displayed at
the same time, they will be synchronised and last for the same period of time.
Fault warning light:
This warning light comes on when a fault is detected by the sequential gearbox computer.Note:
If, while the symbol is lit, the driver depresses the brake pedal, the symbol will go out and the display will return to
its previous status (the lever request is not registered).
