Instrument Cluster Messages
Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster to alert the driver when certain
unusual conditions occur. These messages are described below:
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
Transmission/Gearbox Fault
(Red)
When the ignition key is turned to ON/RUN/MAR, the
Transmission Fault Indicator light turns on and
should go off after a few seconds.
The Transmission Fault Indicator illuminates either
steady or blinking (together with this message and
a buzzer) to indicate a transmission fault.
Contact your authorized dealer if the message
continues to appear.
Reduce Gear Changes This message indicates that the driver is operating
the transmission incorrectly.
Incorrect use (by the driver) could automatically
activate a procedure for protecting the system.
Contact you authorized dealer if the message
continues to appear.
Manual Mode Not Available MANUAL (M) mode is not available, due to a fault
or other condition. Use the DRIVE (D) position to
operate the vehicle.
Contact your authorized dealer if the message
continues to appear.
Automatic Mode Not Available Automatic (DRIVE) mode is not available due to a
fault or other condition. Use MANUAL (M) mode to
operate the vehicle.
Contact your authorized dealer if the message
continues to appear.
Clutch Overheating This message appears, together with a buzzer,
when the clutch overheats.
In this situation, limit stop and go driving and gear
shifts or if necessary stop the vehicle and turn the
engine off to allow the clutch to cool.
If the message continues to appear, contact your
Authorized Dealer.
To avoid clutch failure, do not use the accelerator to
keep the vehicle at a standstill (for example holding
on a hill); the clutch could be damaged by overheat-
ing. Use the brake pedal instead and operate the
accelerator only when you are ready to drive away.
Press Brake Pedal Delayed
Startup
This messages appears when the key is first turned
ON, if the brake is fault and/or the shift lever is not
in NEUTRAL (N). The shift lever must be in the
NEUTRAL (N) position, and the brake pedal must be
pressed, to allow engine cranking. Place the shift lever
in NEUTRAL (N) and apply the brake pedal BEFORE
turning the key to the START/AVV position; otherwise,
the engine will not crank and the key must be cycled
OFF, then back on, before cranking is allowed.
