Moving the lever back to position D<br />
the gearbox instantly resumes the automatic<br />
mode selecting the ratio according<br />
to the driving characteristics.<br />
IMPORTANT The electronic control<br />
unit is programmed to change<br />
gear one at a time, therefore repeated<br />
fast actuations will not result in repeated<br />
engagements of the gears. The<br />
higher or lower gear is engaged moving<br />
the lever to the (+) or (–) position<br />
when the previous request has been<br />
performed.<br />
In the event of a fault to the sequential<br />
manual system, the system will select<br />
the automatic mode.<br />
FAILURE INDICATIONS<br />
Automatic gearbox faults are indicated<br />
by the warning light A-fig. 9 on<br />
the instrument panel.<br />
Turning the ignition key to MAR the<br />
warning light should turn on and go<br />
out after about 4 seconds. If the warning<br />
light stays on or if turns on when<br />
travelling, this indicates a gearbox fault<br />
(flashing light) or gearbox oil overheating<br />
(steadily glowing light).<br />

– Warning light glowing steadily<br />
= automatic gearbox oil maximum<br />
temperature.<br />
If the warning light turns on and<br />
glows steadily when travelling, this indicates<br />
that the gearbox oil has<br />
reached the maximum temperature.<br />
You are therefore advised to stop the<br />
vehicle with the engine at idle speed<br />
and gearshift lever in “N” or “P” (in<br />
this case engine cooling fans are on),<br />
until the warning light goes out and resume<br />
your journey without pushing<br />
the engine to peak performance.<br />
If the warning light turns on again, it<br />
is necessary to stop again with the engine<br />
idling until it goes out.<br />
If there are less than 15 minutes between<br />
one turning on of the warning<br />
light and the next, you are advised to<br />
stop the vehicle, do not switch off the<br />
engine but allow the engine-gearbox<br />
unit to cool down completely (both<br />
engine cooling fans off).<br />
