ELECTRONIC
AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX
(SPORTRONIC)
(optional for versions/markets where
applicable)
STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine can be started only with the
gearshift lever in the P or N position.
For safety reasons, it is advisable to start
the engine with the brake pedal pressed.
MOVING OFF
After starting the engine, with the en-
gine idling and keeping the brake pedal
pressed, move the gearshift lever to posi-
tion D. Release the brake pedal and grad-
ually press the accelerator pedal.
IMPORTANT When moving off, after
starting the engine, do not press the ac-
celerator pedal before and during the
movement of the gearshift lever. This is
particularly important when the engine is
cold.
IMPORTANT Movement of the lever
from position P is allowed only with the
ignition key at MAR and the button on
the lever and the brake pedal pressed.
The Sportronic is an automatic gearbox
with four speeds plus reverse (3.0 V6
24V
version) and five speeds plus reverse
(JTD 20V Multijet version) with self-
adapting control (i.e. capable of adapting
to the driver's driving style), which trans-
mits power continuously and with very
fast electrohydraulic gear engagement
times.
The 3.0 V6 24V version features an au-
tomatic winter driving programme (de-
scribed in the following pages), whereas
the JTD 20V Multijet version features a
specific function enabling to engage at s-
tandstill up to the 3rd gear (in sequential
mode) to guarantee pickup even under
extreme grip conditions, in addition to
ASR assistance.
Do not attempt to ob-
tain peak performance
until the engine has
reached normal operating tem-
perature.
