Automatic Transmission - Alfa Romeo Giulia 952 2017 Owner's Handbook Manual

pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be
used only for gear changes. Do not drive
with your foot resting on the clutch pedal,
however lightly. In some circumstances,
the electronic clutch control could cut in
by interpreting the incorrect driving style
as a fault.
WARNING
112) Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat and
do not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
36) Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The vehicle can be equipped with an
electronically managed 8-speed
automatic transmission where
gearshifting takes place automatically
depending on the vehicle usage
instantaneous parameters (vehicle
speed, road gradient and accelerator
pedal position).
The new transmission is an absolute
innovation as it can match the Start &
Stop Evo system with the traditional
automatic transmissions with built-in
torque converter.
It is still possible to change gear manually
thanks to the "sequential mode" position
for the gear lever.
DISPLAY
The following information is shown on the
dedicated area of the display fig. 148:
in automatic mode: the active mode (P,
R, N, D). In D (Drive) mode, when changing
gear using the steering wheel lever
(where present), it also shows the gear
engaged with a number;
in Manual drive mode (sequential):
the mode (M), the current gear and the
double or single gear shift request, both
up and down (single or double arrow).

GEAR LEVER
The gear functioning is controlled by the
gear lever control 1 fig. 149, which can
assume the following positions:
P = Park
R = Reverse
N = Neutral
D = Drive, (automatic forward speed)
AutoStick: + shifting to higher gear in
sequential driving mode; – shifting to
lower gear in sequential driving mode.
The positions diagram is illustrated on
the top of the lever.
