Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In the majority of traffic conditions, you
will not have to touch the gear selector
lever again: the gear will be changed
automatically at the right time and at
the most suitable engine speed be-
cause the automatic system takes into
account the vehicle load and road con-
tour and adjusts itself to the particular
driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi-
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
