MESSAGE

DESCRIPTION

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

overheating. Use the brake pedal instead and oper-

ate 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.

Gear Not Available

This message appears, along with a warning buzzer:

• When it is not possible to change gear due to a

fault in the system.

• When, due a fault in the system, it is only possible

to engage 1st (1), 2nd (2), 3rd (3) or reverse (R).

Contact your authorized dealer if the message

continues to appear.

Shift Not Allowed

This message appears, together with a warning

buzzer, when the system will not allow a gear

change requested by the driver (for example, that

would cause engine overspeed or transmission

damage).

This message may also appear when starting the

engine at low temperature. In this case the Auto-

mated Manual transmission isn't able to engage

first gear, in this situation either use the engine

block heater or allow the engine to idle in NEU-

TRAL (N) until the transmission has warmed.
