Sequential Driving Mode - Alfa Romeo ALFA TCT Supplement Manual

INTEGRATION WITH "Alfa DNA"
SYSTEM
Operating the "Alfa DNA" system fig. 7, three different driving
modes can be selected:
❒ "Na
tura l": gearshifting at low engine speeds, enhancing comfort
and reducing consumption;
❒ "Dynamic": gearshifting at higher engine speeds, enhancing
sporty driving;
❒ "All Weather": driving programme on roads with poor grip
(example snow, ice, mud, etc.).
GEARSHIFTING SUGGESTION
With the transmission in automatic mode (selector lever in position
D), when gearshifting is required by the levers on the steering wheel
(for versions/markets, where provided), the system shifts to fully
manual mode, with relevant displaying of the gear engaged, for
about 5 second.
When this time has elapsed, if the levers are not operated anymore,
the system goes back to the automatic mode (D), with following
displaying.

SEQUENTIAL DRIVING MODE

In sequential driving mode, the transmission operates like a manual
gearbox.
GEAR CHANGE VIA GEAR LEVER
Move the lever sideways (to the left) manually from position D to the
sequential position:
❒ lever towards +: engage higher gear;
❒ lever towards −: engage lower gear.
The lever correct position in sequential mode is signalled when the
symbols + and − come on and the symbol D comes off.
The gear engaged is displayed.
