be given to deactivate the alarm and, in this way, the engine can be
restarted. This occurs even if the door closing command is given by a
key outside the vehicle when a second key is inside. The engine start
function of the second key (inside the vehicle) will be disabled. By
issuing the door opening command on any registered key, the engine
start function is reset.
If the engine fails to start after several attempts, check for one of the
following causes:
●
insufficient starter motor speed (flat battery);
●
ignition system faulty;
●
electrical contacts faulty;
●
fuel pump fuses blown.
Warming up the engine
Do not run the engine at high speed until the engine oil temperature has
reached at least 65-70 °C, approximately.
Starting the vehicle
Gearbox mode at start-up
The standard DCT gearbox transmission is "Automatic".
At each KEY-ON, the DCT gearbox is in "Auto easy exit" mode unless
the vehicle was in "Automatic" or "Manual" mode when the engine was
turned off.
The DCT has an electro-hydraulically controlled gearbox system that uses
paddles on the steering wheel for manual gearshifting.
To exit the "Auto easy exit" mode, simply use the UP or DOWN paddles
behind the steering wheel (while the vehicle is moving) or (when the
vehicle is stationary) press the central lever of the gearbox selector to
activate the "Automatic" or "Manual" mode as described in the relevant
paragraphs.
With the engine started, the vehicle stationary and the brake pedal
pressed, pull the right-hand UP paddle towards the steering wheel and
release it to engage 1st gear.
Release the brake pedal and press the accelerator to start off.
With the engine running and the vehicle stationary, you can change
directly from 1st gear to "R" (reverse) by using the R gearbox selector on
the centre console.
Under the same conditions, you can go from "R" (reverse) to 1st gear by
pulling the UP paddle towards the steering wheel and releasing it.
Warning
If the "UP" and "DOWN" paddles are not working, a pop-up will
appear on the instrument panel with the message "Depress brake pedal
and press LAUNCH to engage gear". You can therefore engage 1
by pushing the RH lever of the gear selector to L and releasing it and
pressing the brake pedal at the same time. In these cases, the "Launch
Control" is not available. If the gear engaged was R, repeat the above
st
procedure twice to engage 1 gear.
