Shutting off the engine and system deactivation
When the
ignition key is turned to "STOP" the engine switches off
and the Selespeed system remains active until the car stops
completely.
After 2/4 seconds, with the key on STOP the
hydraulic part deactivates and the gears display on the
panel switches off immediately. Only at this point the
Selespeed system is no longer active.
The gear ratio
selected before the shut-down remains engaged.
If the
engine stops with the gear in idle, the buzzer calls the
attention of the driver to put the car in safety condition
engaging the first gear (1) or the reverse gear (R). In
this case, the ignition key has to be turned to MAR and
with the brake pedal pressed request of the first gear (1)
or reverse gear (R).
NOTE:
Never
leave the car with the gear in idle (N).
Never remove the
key while the car is moving because, besides the fact that
the system would function in an anomalous way until the
vehicle stops, the steering wheel would automatically lock
at the first swerve .
The engine must be shut off, and as a
consequence the Selespeed deactivated, keeping the brake
pedal pressed and only releasing it when the rev counter
display switches off.
