118 GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE
Gearshift programme control
To optimise vehicle handling the
electronic control unit has the following
memorised programmes:
– automatic operation;
– manual operation;
– winter driving (to be selected
through button WINTER);
– engine warming up;
– protection against excessive gearbox
oil temperature .
Automatic programme
This comprises 16 gearshifting programmes.
In relation to the vehicle speed and
torque transmitted, the control unit
detects the slope of the road surface
and depending on the sporty features
chosen, it autonomously chooses the
programme most suited to the situation.
During gearshifting, the gearbox control
unit asks the injection control unit
to momentarily reduce the torque.
The duration of torque reduction
varies depending on the travelling conditions.
