"Activate" menu

Note
When a system function is activated with the diagnostics tool, the control module executes a command which is not normal from a functional point of view. In activation mode the diagnostics tool checks the control module and the activation command should therefore be used with discrimination. An activated function will always be reset when you leave the activation mode and continue in the diagnostics tool's menu.
Always clear any diagnostic trouble codes that may have been generated in the transmission system or any other system when you have finished your work.

Important
Activating mode can be selected in gear position N only. In other gear positions, the message SHIFT TO N AND PRESS ENTER will be displayed. All the activation commands can be cancelled with Exit.
