Temporary manual control of
gear changes
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the "+" and "-" steering mounted
control paddles. The gear change instruction is
acted on if the engine speed permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
Following a few moments with no action on
the control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
Manual operation
AUTO disappears and the gears
engaged are displayed successively
in the instrument panel.
F After starting the engine, select position M
for sequential gear changing
The change from one gear to another
takes place only if the conditions of
vehicles speed and engine speed
permit; if not, the automatic operation

correct gear.

not change up unless the driver acts on
the steering mounted paddles.
