Automated Manual Transmission 19 Engine On and/or Vehicle Moving: First Starting (+50): The vehicle is allowed to start only with the brake pedal pressed. The instrument panel will display upon the request to run, neutral [N]. If the brake pedal is not pressed, the system alerts the driver with the buzzer. Starting the Vehicle from Stationary: Once the starting procedure is over, the vehicle is running, at a speed V = 0 km/h and gearbox in neutral (N). The instrument panel, in addition to displaying the operating mode and the logic, displays neutral N. The user can choose to go forward or reverse. Regardless of the mode (Auto/Manual), to engage the first speed or reverse, it is necessary to press the brake pedal and: Operate / Move gear shift lever to engage the 1 or engage the reverse. By pressing the Tip - lever it is not possible to engage the 1st gear but only to downshift from the 2nd to the 1st gear. Engine Started: The vehicle starts to move (set off) only acting on the accelerator pedal. With the engine started and V = 0 km/h, only the 1st, 2nd or reverse gears can be engaged. The gears can only be engaged by pressing the brake pedal. NOTE: When inserting "R" there is an ACOUSTIC SIGNAL for 1 second. From "N" engaged: with brake pressed Move gear shift lever to R to engage reverse Move gear shift lever to A to engage 1st gear. Gear Change with Vehicle Moving Gear: Change in Manual Mode: Requests are only accepted if gear shifting is over and engine rpm are sufficient to prevent engine stalling. Therefore: 1. If the request is accepted by the system: the new current gear will appear on the display when the gear shift is over. NOTE: The system shows the gear actually engaged on the display and not the gear requested by user. 2. If the request is not accepted by the system: gear engaged before the request will remain on the display and an acoustic signal will be emitted. In this case, the system will only accept the request if the engine rpm after gear shifting does not exceed the maximum rotation speed permitted for the engine. If the request is not accepted, the system behaves as it does when the shift up request is not accepted. Furthermore, the system will autonomously select the lower ratio if the driver maintains the current ratio at the engine stalling limit (AUTODOWN). NOTE: Auto up/auto down are performance, not safety functions. The safety function is provided by the limiter only. Gear Change in Automatic Mode: The word AUTO appears on the display in addition to the indication of the gear engaged. To allow the movement of the vehicle (forwards or backwards) in spite of automatic mode, the driver should request the two possible gears for setting off (1st or 2nd) or reverse with the brake pressed (obviously the system will maintain automatic mode).
