INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 79 • After the connection of the automatic function (AUT button 11), the electronic control system always sets on the 2nd gear; en- gage the forward or reverse gear within the following three seconds. • It is possible to carry out the forced engagement of the 1st gear by means of the buttons DOWN (3) or KICK DOWN, checking the optimal rpm. After the forced engagement of the 1st for- ward or reverse gear, the AU logic will carry out the automatic shifting from 1st to 4th forward gear or from 1st to 3rd reverse gear, with successive automatic downshifting to the 2nd for- ward or reverse gear. • The engaged gear is always shown on the display (15).
• The 4th reverse gear is constantly disconnected.

Even the forced 1st gear remains preselected. • In case of damage to the solenoid valve of the 2nd or 3rd gear (signalled by 3 long beeps (1 sec) and by an intermit- tent figure code on the display (15)), the system passes directly from the automatic logic AU to the semiautomatic logic SA.
FWD • The FWD/REV reversal is carried out in 1st and 2nd gear and must take place in the shortest possible time. The reversal is indicated by the coming on of the led F (5) or R (6). • It is possible to stop in the neutral position (N) for a while. • When the reversal is requested in 3rd and 4th forward gear and the rpm is optimal, the control system immediately engages the 2nd gear with successive reversal. If the rpm is not optimal, the led (13) starts flashing and this is signalled by a long beep (1 sec.). The electronic control system does not carry out the reversal and the selection is stored.
When the optimal rpm has been reached, the flashing led goes out and the control system engages the 2nd gear with successive reversal. • With the (SA) logic, the UP/DOWN button cannot be operated until reversal has been carried out. The electronic control system stores only one selection at a time. 5 13 N REV +- 6 RWA12520 5 13 N REV +- 6 RWA12520 IMPORTANT • Reversals in 3rd and 4th gear can be carried out only in case of emergency.
