Selecting Reverse Gear - R - Ferrari Purosangue 2023 Owner's Manual

When "Automatic" mode is selected, the system automatically shifts
UP and DOWN in relation to vehicle speed, engine speed and the
torque/power requested by the driver.
When in "Automatic" mode, you can still manually shift gears using the
UP and DOWN paddles. The gearbox will remain in "Automatic" mode
and the word AUTO will appear in the gearbox area when the paddles are
used.
When the vehicle is stationary, a "N", 1st gear or "R" request will not
result in a change from "Automatic" to "Manual".
"Auto easy exit" mode
At each KEY-ON, the vehicle starts up in "Auto easy exit" mode unless
it was in "Automatic" or "Manual" mode when the engine was turned off.
In this case, at the next KEY-ON, it remains in the mode it was in before
KEY-OFF.
Activation of the "Auto easy exit" mode is signalled by the word AUTO
and an arrow in the gearbox display area.
In this mode, the system will automatically UP-shift and DOWN-shift
according to vehicle speed, engine revs and the torque/power request of
the driver.
To exit "Auto easy exit" mode and switch to "Manual" mode, simply
use the UP or DOWN paddle (while the vehicle is moving) or (when the
vehicle is stationary) pull the central lever of the gearbox selector towards
M and release it: the M will turn red and the word AUTO will no longer be
displayed in the gearbox area.
If, on the other hand, you want to set the "Automatic" mode, push the
central lever of the gearbox selector towards A as stated above. The
system will implement "Automatic" mode in full.
Starting and driving the vehicle
38
"N" (Neutral) request
With the engine running, pull both the UP and DOWN paddles towards
the steering wheel at the same time without pressing the brake pedal to
request neutral "N". If necessary, "N" can be requested at any speed.
Subsequently, if an "UP" or "DOWN" shift is requested in the driving
modes that the gearbox is used in, the system will engage the gear most
suited to the speed of the vehicle.
During prolonged stops with the engine running, we recommend putting
the vehicle into "N" (neutral).
Important note
If you allow the vehicle to move forward in "N", when "UP" or
"DOWN" is requested, a gear will be engaged that corresponds to the
speed of the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
When the vehicle stops, the system automatically engages 1st gear unless
Neutral has already been requested. When the vehicle is stationary while
the engine is running, keep the brake pedal depressed until you are ready
to move off again.

Selecting reverse gear - R

To select reverse gear, pull the LH lever of the gear selector towards R and
release it so that it goes back into its initial position. The letter
in the gearbox area of the instrument panel and R lights up in red on the
selector to indicate that reverse has been selected.
Reverse gear must always be selected when the vehicle is stationary and
the brake pedal pressed.
