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.
