OPERATION
The gearbox can work according to two op-
erating modes:
– the first one is semi-automatic (MAN-
UAL): the decision to change gear is left to
the driver who decides the most appropriate
moment; this mode features the two fol-
lowing logics:
1) normal: for comfort driving;
2) sport: (to be activated by button B-
fig. 124): for sporty driving.
Sport operating mode is selected by press-
ing button SPORT (B-fig. 124) set on
the gearshift lever; when selecting this
mode, the display will show SPORT.
– the second one is fully automatic
(CITY), in which the system decides di-
rectly when to shift gear according to driving
conditions.
To select the CITY mode, press button
CITY set on the gearshift lever; when se-
lecting this mode, the display will show
CITY.
