next key-off, press the button C again; the message "PARK ON" is
displayed on the left TFT display for 5 seconds.
"Automatic Vehicle Holding" AVH function
The electric parking brake provides optimised release when the vehicle
starts up due to its Automatic Vehicle Holding function: once the engine
has started, the system keeps the vehicle braked through intervention of
the braking system rather than through the parking brake shoes.

Park Lock

The Park Lock is a locking device built into the gearbox. This device is
used to prevent the vehicle from moving when the multi-disc clutches
are open, i.e., with the engine off and/or without the hydraulic pressure
required for gearbox operating.
The device operates automatically every time the key is turned to off:
if a gear is engaged when the key is turned to off, the Park Lock is
immediately activated. If the gearbox is in "N" (neutral), the Park Lock
starts operating after a minimum preset time (needed for the Carwash
procedure, see next paragraph). To inform the driver that the Park Lock
has been engaged, the letter "P" is displayed on the gearbox display.
The Park Lock is deactivated when the engine is running, the first
gear or "R" is requested (with the brake pedal pressed) and the engine
compartment lid has been closed correctly.
Carwash procedure
The Park lock device can be electrically disabled on a temporary basis
when the engine is switched off by performing the Carwash procedure.
This procedure is necessary when the vehicle has to be moved with the
engine off and when washing the vehicle.
Warning
When the Park Lock device is electronically deactivated (Carwash
procedure), the vehicle may move. The vehicle is only kept stationary
by the parking brake which must be applied.
To perform the Carwash procedure, do the following:
●
with the engine running, select the first gear;
●
select neutral "N";
●
switch off the engine (ENGINE STOP);
●
activate the instrument panel (KEY-ON) within 3 seconds of
switching off the engine.
The message "Carwash mode activation" will appear on the left TFT
display.

Launch Control

The "Launch Control" mode is a performance start function. Activating
this function optimises vehicle acceleration from a standing start. The
device transfers the necessary torque to the ground and avoids skidding
of the wheels during acceleration.
The LAUNCH function is not available when the Manettino is set to WET
or ICE mode.
To start the vehicle in "Launch Control" mode, do the following:
●
Vehicle stationary
●
the gearbox must be in "Manual" mode
●
hold the brake pedal down and select first gear
●
press the LAUNCH button A
signal informs the driver that the device has been switched on and
the word "launch" appears on the gearbox display
●
press the accelerator pedal and release the brake pedal
