AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
(6 GEARS)
The car is equipped with an electronically
controlled 6-speed automatic transmission
where gear shifting automatically takes
place, depending on the vehicle usage
instantaneous parameters (vehicle speed,
gradient, and accelerator pedal position).
Manual gear shifting can still occur thanks
to the "sequential mode" position for the
gear lever.

in automatic mode: the selected gear
(P, R, N, D);
in manual (sequential) driving mode:
the manual engagement of a (higher
or lower) gear, with the relevant
number.

The gear lever fi g.76 can be moved to the
following positions:
P = Park
R = Reverse

D = Drive
AutoStick":

If the transmission is used in "sequential"
mode, which is activated moving the lever

reached. These positions are unstable:
the lever always returns to central
position.
