Advice
F Select position D for automatic
changing of the four gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without action by the driver. It
continuously selects the most suitable gear for
the driving style, the relief of the road and the
load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration, without touching
the gear lever, press the accelerator pedal fully
down (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear engaged up to
maximum engine speed.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
When you take your foot off the accelerator
pedal quickly, the gearbox does not change up,
for your improved safety.
