An emergency programme exists in the event of a fault in the system.

functional faults in the gearbox electronics. All of the display elements illuminate
or go out.
A functional fault can have the following effect:
›
The gearbox only shifts into certain gears;
›

›
The manual shift programme is switched off in emergency mode.
Note
If the gearbox has switched to emergency mode, drive to a specialist garage to
have the fault rectified as soon as possible.
