Moving off

move the selector to position A then to
position N.
- If the "Foot on brake" message
appears, press the brake pedal
harder.

manual mode (position M) or reverse
(position R)

instrument cluster.
F Release the parking brake.
F Gradually release the brake pedal.

(refer to the section on the "Autonomous
traction function").

Autonomous traction function

This function provides great flexibility in
manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when
parking, in traffic jams, ...).
With the gear selector in position A, M or R,
the vehicle moves as soon as you take your
foot off the brake pedal, at low speed and
with the engine at idle.
When the engine is running, never leave
children in the vehicle without supervision.
The autonomous traction function may
be temporarily unavailable if the clutch
temperature is too high or the slope too
steep.
