moving the latter from D to the left, the
positions towards + or – are unstable.
The lever has a button 1 (on the front
side, see figure), which must be pressed
to move the lever to P or R.
Shifting from D to "Sequential mode" and
vice versa is free.
Shifting from D to N is free.
Shifting from N to R and from R to P is
possible only with button on gear lever
pressed.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Starting is only permitted with gear lever
A0J0360C
in position P or N (with or without brake
pedal pressed).
On starting, the system is at N or P (the
latter means neutral, but with the car's
wheels locked mechanically).
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Engine can be switched off in any
position of the gear lever.
Versions with Start&Stop system
To switch the engine off, you need to stop
the car by pressing the brake pedal
properly; if the pressure is not enough,
the engine will not be switched off. This
feature can be exploited so that the
engine does not switch off in particular

REMOVING THE IGNITION KEY
99)
The ignition key can be removed only with
gear lever in P position. For removal
procedure, see as described on
paragraph "ALFA TCT Transmission - Key
removal" in the chapter "In an
emergency".
MOVING THE CAR
23)
To move the car, from P press the brake
pedal and, using the button on the gear
lever, move the lever to the desired
position (D, R or "Sequential mode").
The display will show the gear engaged.
When the brake pedal is released, the car
starts moving forwards or backwards, as
soon as the manoeuvre is activated
("creeping" effect). The accelerator
should not be pressed in this case.
