Moving off
You must press the brake pedal.
Start the engine; the gearbox changes into
neutral automatically.
the gear lever stays in the position selected
before switching off the ignition.
"N" appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal when
you release the brake pedal, to indicate that
there is a difference between the position of
the gear lever and the gear selected in the
gearbox.
Select first gear (move the lever towards + )
or reverse (position R ).
"1" or "R" appears in the instrument panel
screen.
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal and
then accelerate away.
The AUTO or manual mode used before
switching off the ignition remains in
memory when the vehicle is restarted.
It is also possible to move off in
2 nd gear on slippery surfaces (2 nd
press on le +).
By rapidly pushing the accelerator fully
done, the vehicle moves off quickly.
Stopping - Starting on a slope
This gearbox is an electronic gearbox which
does not have a clutch pedal.
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the parking brake instead; failure to
follow this procedure can overheat the
clutch and damage the gearbox .
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
Gearbox and steering wheel
Automated mode
Once you have moved off, you can switch to
automated mode by selecting position A/M .
"AUTO" and the gear engaged
appear in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver.
It continuously selects the most appropriate
gear depending on the:
- vehicle speed,
- engine speed,
- accelerator pedal position.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you fully depress the accelerator pedal,
the gearbox changes down for sharper
acceleration.
