Gearbox and steering wheel
Automatic mode
Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:
- driving style,
- road profile,
- optimum fuel consumption.
Manual mode
Changing to manual mode
Move the gear selector to M.
Changing gear
Pull on the "+" control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically, to first gear if
needed.
- It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.
- a gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
- For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically.
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle.
Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing down firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument panel.
Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N.
