Ferrari 812 competizione A 2024 Owner's Manual page 25

Important note
If the engine compartment lid is open or not properly closed, none
of the gears can be engaged. When the vehicle is stationary, with
the driver-side door open or not properly closed and the brake pedal
released, the system disengages the gear engaged after approximately
two seconds.
UP-shifting
Use the right-hand UP paddle without releasing the accelerator pedal.
An UP-shift request is not accepted when engagement of the requested
gear forces the engine to underrev or if an UP-shift is already in progress
because of engine over-revving.
In any event, it is advisable to:
●
shift gears without releasing the accelerator pedal if pressed;
●
Wait until gearshifting has been completed before requesting the
next shift, avoiding a rapid sequence of multiple requests.
UP-shifting due to overrevving
The system "automatically" engages a higher gear if the accelerator pedal
is pressed and the engine approaches the "runaway speed rate" (over-
revving).
Important note
UP-shifting due to overrevving will not occur with the Manettino set to
"SPORT", "RACE" or "ESC OFF" mode.
DOWN-shifting
Use the left-hand DOWN paddle without releasing the accelerator pedal. A
DOWN-shift request is not accepted if engagement of the requested gear
forces the engine beyond a certain RPM, depending on the gear requested,
or if a DOWN-shift is already in progress because of engine under-revving.
In any event, it is advisable to:
●
shift gears without releasing the accelerator pedal if pressed;
●
if DOWN-shifting is requested to start overtaking which requires
quick acceleration, press the accelerator pedal just before using the
paddle;
●
wait until gearshifting has been completed before requesting the
next shift, avoiding a rapid sequence of multiple requests.
DOWN-shifting due to underrevving
The system shifts down "automatically" if the engine goes below a
minimum number of revs (1250 RPM).
The DOWN-shift request from the paddle is ignored if gearshifting is
already in progress due to engine under-revving.
Sequential downshifting
During deceleration, with the brake pedal pressed and the ABS system
disabled, sequential down-shifting can be performed by holding the left-
hand "DOWN" paddle down.
The sequential gearshifting request is accepted until the second gear is
engaged.
Using the gearbox in "Automatic" mode
The standard DCT gearbox transmission is "Automatic".
To set "Automatic" mode, push the central lever of the gearbox selector
on the centre console towards A and release it so that it goes back into its
initial position: the A on the gearbox selector will turn red.
