The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without requir-
ing any intervention on your part.
For certain manoeuvres (for exam-
ple overtaking), you can obtain max-
imum acceleration by pressing the
accelerator pedal down hard, which
then produces an automatic change
down to a lower gear.
When braking, the gearbox may
change down automatically in order
to provide effective engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelera-
tor abruptly, the gearbox will not en-
gage a higher gear.

Temporary manual operation
when in automatic mode
An action on the levers " + " or " - "
allows you to exercise temporary
control over the changing of gears.
The request to change gear will be
taken into account. You will still be in
automatic mode. The warning lamp
D remains lit up in the instrument
panel.
This function enables you to antici-
pate certain situations such as the
approach of a bend or the need to
overtake another vehicle.
