SYSTEM OPERATION - AUTOMATIC "CITY" OPERATION

  The automatic "CITY" mode is selected by pressing the button on the base of the gear lever. On the display in the rev counter, besides indicating the gear, the word CITY is shown. It is then the system that decides when to change gear according to the engine rpm and when the accelerator pedal is pressed. If the accelerator pedal is released quickly, the system does not engage a higher gear to keep an adequate engine brake level. If there is a fault on the gear control lever, the system passes automatically to the automatic "CITY" mode, so that the car can return home.
