With the gearbox in the CITY mode it is
still possible to carry out manual gearshift-
ing, both using the gear lever and the steer-
ing wheel controls. The gearbox remains in
the CITY mode.
The gear engaged (fig. 121) is always
signalled on the display regardless of the se-
lected mode.
N = neutral;
1 = first gear;
2 = second gear;
3 = third gear;
4 = fourth gear;
5 = fifth gear;
R = reverse.

During operation in the CITY or SPORT
mode, the selected mode is shown as well.
IMPORTANT The SPORT mode can be
engaged only after disengaging the CITY
mode.
Failures of the Selespeed gearbox are sig-
nalled to the driver through a warning light
connected with the associated failure mes-
sage (fig. 122) and accompanied by an
acoustic signal.
The Selespeed considerably simplifies use
of the car, reducing the fatigue of city dri-
ving or when frequent gearshifting is re-
quired, at the same time offering brilliant
performance.

SYSTEM ACTIVATION
IMPORTANT When the driver's door is
opened the Selespeed starts the hydraulic
part of the system to prepare it for when the
engine is started. This function (noted by
the turning of the electric pump) is deacti-
vated after 10 door openings/closings not
followed by actual system activation turning
the ignition key.
Turning the ignition key to MAR, all the
segments on the display turn on (fig.
121) together with the gearbox failure
warning light (fig. 122) and the word
CITY. After about a second, the display
shows the gear engaged (N, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, R); from this moment onwards, the Se-
lespeed system accepts gearshift com-
mands.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds the dis-
play segments do not show the gear en-
gaged or the warning light stays on, turn the
ignition key to STOP and wait for the dis-

play to turn off, then repeat system switch
on. If the fault persists, contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services.
