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 indi-
cate 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 overheating. 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 crank-
ing. Place the shift lever in NEUTRAL (N) and apply the
brake pedal BEFORE turning the key to the START/AVV posi-
tion; otherwise, the engine will not crank and the key must
be cycled OFF, then back on, before cranking is allowed.
