not change up unless the driver acts on
the steering mounted paddles.

moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal
pressed.
Stopping the vehicle

choose to:

- leave the vehicle in gear; in this case the
vehicle cannot be moved.

brake to immobilise the vehicle.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the
engine running, you must place the gear
selector at neutral N.
Before doing anything in the engine
compartment, make sure that the gear
selector is in neutral N and the parking
brake is applied.
Malfunction
With the ignition on, the flashing of
this warning lamp and the flashing
of AUTO, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
