Start and driving
Emergency program
A backup programme is in place if a fault
should occur in the control syst
em.
If all the positions of the selector lever are
shown over a light background on the instru-
ment panel display, there is a system fault
and the automatic gearbox will operate in
with the backup programme. When the back-
up programme is activated, it is possible to
drive the vehicle, however, at low speeds and
within a selected range of gears. In some ca-
ses driving in reverse gear may not be pos-
sible.
CAUTION
If the gearbox operates with the backup
programme
, take the vehicle to a special-
ised workshop and have the fault repaired
without delay.
