Starting and Driving
When in “M +/-“ (Manual) mode, GSI
indicates when a gear shift is needed
in two different ways, depending on
whether you use the paddles or the
transmission lever to change gear.
• When using the paddles, GSI
indicates when a gear shift is needed
by coloring the correspondent paddle
in white: up (right side) or down
(left side) and displaying “SHIFT”
reinforced by an up/down arrow
according to the side.
• When using the transmission lever to
shift, GSI indicates when a gear shift
is needed by displaying just “SHIFT”
on the corresponding side reinforced
by an up/down arrow according to
the side.
When the new gear is engaged, the
GSI turns off. If the shift runs late or is
not performed at all, the GSI remains
lit for a few seconds then turns off.
As soon as new conditions requiring
further gear change occur, the GSI
light will illuminate again.
NOTE:
The GSI system will only work when
the transmission is set in M +/-
(Manual) mode.
Transmission Malfunction and
Overheating Conditions
Transmission Emergency Control
Transmission function is electronically
monitored to detect abnormal
conditions. If a condition that could
result in transmission damage is
detected, "Transmission Limp Home
Mode" will be activated. In this
situation, the transmission may
operate only in certain gears, or may
not shift at all. Vehicle performance
may be severely degraded and the
engine may stall. In some situations,
the transmission system may not
re-engage if the engine is turned off
and restarted.
A message in the instrument cluster
will inform the driver about the
more serious transmission conditions,
and indicate what actions may be
necessary.
Transmission Oil Over Temperature
If the transmission oil temperature
exceeds the operating limit, the
red warning light illuminates on the
instrument cluster.
In this case, slow down until
temperature returns to normal level
(the light will turn off).
If this is not sufficient, we recommend
to stop the vehicle, shift the lever to
