DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
GEARSHIFTING (“F1” gearbox
)
Upshifting (UP)
Use the right-hand
UP
lever without
releasing the accelerator pedal.
An
UP
shift request is not accepted if
engagement of the requested gear will
force the engine to run at low speeds
(underrevving) or if an upshift is already
in progress due to engine overrevving.
Gearshifting will be faster if the request
is made with the accelerator pedal fully
depressed and the engine running at over
5500 RPM.
In any event, it is advisable to:
•
Shift gears without releasing the
accelerator pedal if it is pressed.
•
Wait until gearshifting has been
completed before requesting the next
shift, avoiding a rapid sequence of
multiple requests.
UP shift due to engine overrevving
The system “automatically” engages a
higher gear if the accelerator pedal is
pressed and the engine approaches the
“runaway speed rate” (overrevving). This
condition does not occur with the system
in “
SPORT”
mode .
Downshifting (DOWN)
Use the left-hand
DOWN
lever, even
without releasing the accelerator pedal.
A
DOWN
shift
request is not accepted
if engagement of the requested gear will
force the engine beyond a certain speed,
depending on the gear requested, or if a
DOWN
shift is already in progress due to
a too low engine RPM.
In any event, it is advisable to:
•
Shift gears without releasing the
accelerator pedal if it is pressed.
•
If a
DOWN
shift is requested in order
to start overtaking, where rapid
acceleration is required, push the
accelerator pedal just before moving
the lever.
•
Wait until gearshifting is completed
before requesting the next one,
avoiding a rapid sequence of multiple
requests.
