• If the vehicle is held by applying
accelerator pedal at the hill, the
transmission and clutch will be
damaged. To hold at the hill, use
the parking brake or foot brake.
• An overload of the clutch is indi-
cated by a longitudinal judder and
a blinking display. To exclude a
clutch-damage, the clutch is
opened and the torque flow inter-
rupted. If the clutch is opened,
apply the foot brake and wait
some minutes before driving
again.
• Ignoring the warnings can lead to
severe injuries and damage on
the car.
• If the LCD warning is active, the
foot brake has to be applied.

occurs, the transaxle indicator

ommend that you contact an

the system checked.

• When the clutch is overheated,
the safe protection mode oper-
ates. According to the safe pro-
tection mode, the transaxle indi-
cator blinks with buzzer sound.
The buzzer beeps 3 times.
In this time, the LCD warning
about safe protection mode also
displays. In this condition, the
driving may not be smoothly. If
you ignore this warning, the driv-
ing condition is getting worse and
the system may have problem. To
return the normal driving condi-
tion, apply the foot brake and
stop the vehicle for few minutes
before driving off.
• Whilst shifting the gear automati-
cally, you may feel a correspon-
ding shifting of gear. However, it
is not malfunction.
