AUTOMATIC OPERATION
(AUTO with UP function
on)
The UP function can be turned on by
pressing the UP fig. 109 button located
among the dashboard controls. After
turning this function on, the warning
light
on the instrument panel turns
on, together with a confirmation
message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display.
With the UP function on, the system
will select the most suitable gear
depending on the vehicle speed, the
engine speed and the intensity with
which the accelerator pedal is pressed,
with the aim of tackling roads with
steep gradients in a smooth and
comfortable manner.
If necessary, (for example when
overtaking), after pressing the
accelerator pedal fully, the system shifts
down one or more gears to provide
suitable torque and power for the
acceleration requested by the driver
(this all takes place automatically
whether the UP function is on or off).
