SYSTEM OPERATION - FAULT WARNINGS

 

Fault warnings
The Selespeed gearbox faults are indicated on the display on the instrument panel. For some faults, besides the information on the display a buzzer warning is sounded intermittently for 4 s to call the attention of the driver. If there is a fault on the gear control lever, the system automatically inserts the automatic "CITY" mode so as to be able to reach the nearest dealership to have the fault removed. For faults on other components of the gearbox, the system allows only the engagement of some ratios : first gear, second gear and reverse gear .

   
 

Warnings with buzzer
The buzzer is activated when:
• The vehicle is parked with the gear in idle ; the indication can be detected turning the ignition key to STOP.
• During the take off movement the clutch overheats.
• The system automatically engages the gearbox in idle after which:
• no movement is made on the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal for at least 60 sec.
• the brake pedal is pressed for over 3 min.
• the driver's door is opened without commands on the accelerator or on the brake.
• a gearbox fault has been found.
• a start-up attempt is made with gear engaged without pressing the brake.
