“Cambiocorsa” gearbox
The "SPORT" mode is
characterized by a stiffening
of the suspension and faster
gearshift compared to gear-shifting in
the "normal" mode.
Gear-shifting is "faster" if requested
with the accelerator pedal pressed
down to the floor and when exceeding
about 7,000 r.p.m. Under these
conditions, even on dry roads, the
driving wheels could start to skid
(particularly in low gears).
DOWN shifts with the accelerator
pedal released, will have a braking
effect approaching the skidding limit
of the driving wheels on dry asphalt.
Under sporty driving conditions with
gearshifts at high engine speed rates,
double-clutching when down-shifting
is performed automatically.
Do not to use the "SPORT"
mode on roads with low or
medium "grip" conditions
(e.g., ice, snow, or wet roads) as the
driving wheels could skid during
gearshifts.
It is a good rule to switch off the other
operating functions ("low-grip" and
"automatic transmission") before you
select the "SPORT" mode.
WARNING: In the event of
malfunctioning of the control lever
unit, in addition to activating the
buzzer and switching on the failure
t
warning light, the system enables
the "automatic transmission" mode
and any gearshift command, including
the request for N and R, will be
ignored.
WARNING: If the malfunctioning
persists, contact your Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible for
service.
