Automated mode
F Select position A.
AUTO and the gear engaged appear

The gearbox operates in auto-active mode,
without any action on the part of the driver. It
continuously selects the most suitable gear for:
- optimisation of fuel consumption,
- the style of driving,
- the profile of the road.
- the vehicle load.
For optimum acceleration, for example
when overtaking another vehicle, press the
accelerator pedal firmly past the point of
resistance.
You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear selector from A to M or
the other way round.
Never select neutral N when driving.
