AUTOMATIC OPERATION (CITY)
The CITY automatic operating mode is selected
pressing the button (A-fig. 132),
at the base of the gearshift lever.
In addition to the gear, the display on the
rev counter will show the word CITY.
The system decides directly when gearshifting
according to the engine running speed
and the driving style.
Quickly releasing the accelerator pedal, the
system does not engage a higher gear in order
to maintain an adequate level of engine
brake.

FAILURE SIGNALLING
Failures to the Selespeed gearbox are indicated
by the t (A-fig. 133) warning
light on the instrument cluster.
When the system is turned on (turning the
ignition key to MAR), the warning light
should turn on glowing steadily for about
4 seconds and then turn off.
If the warning light stays on it means that
a fault to the gearbox has been detected; at
the same time a buzzer sounds intermittently
for 4 seconds to attract the driver's
attention.

If the warning light t
comes on, contact the Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services
as soon as possible to remove the
fault.
In the case of a fault to the gearshift lever,
the system automatically activates the automatic
CITY mode to allow the car to
reach the nearest Authorized Alfa Romeo
Services to have the fault detected eliminated.
In the event of faults to other components
of the gearbox, the system only allows the
engagement of certain ratios: first gear (1),
second (2) and reverse (R).
WARNING
In case of transmission
fault, contact the Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services as
soon as possible to check the system.
