Attention  
The electronic gearshift prevents shift errors. If a ‘dog to dog’ situation occurs  
during the warming up procedure, the ECU initiates an automatic throttle blip.  
This is perceived audibly as the engine revs increase shortly. When downshifting  
only use the shift paddle without using the clutch or throttle --> the ECU  
controls the clutch and throttle.
