The gearbox can work in two operating
modes:
– the first is semiautomatic(then called
MANUAL), in which the driver directly requests
gearshifting through the lever on the
centre console or pressing the buttons at the
steering wheel;
– the second is automatic, called CITY
(mode selectable with the specific button
B-fig. 124, the CITY sign appears on the
display fig. 126 fitted on rev-counter), in
which the system decides directly when to
shift gear.
With the gearbox in the CITY mode it is
still possible to carry out manual gearshifting,
both using the gear lever and the steering
wheel controls. The gearbox remains in
the CITY mode.
The gear engaged (fig. 126) is always
signalled on the display regardless of the selected
mode.
N = neutral;
1 = first gear;
2 = second gear;
