Parking the vehicle
P position is automatically engaged on
equipped vehicles when:
– the engine is stopped;
– the driver's seatbelt is unfastened
and the vehicle is stationary;
and
– the driver's door is opened and the
vehicle is stationary.
P is displayed on the instrument panel.
As P position is automatically en­
gaged when the engine is stopped, it
is sometimes necessary to engage N
position when visiting certain loca­
tions, for example a car wash:
– with the engine running, press the P
button, shift the selector lever A or B
a notch upwards or downwards to shift
to N position, then stop the engine;
– with the engine stopped and the igni­
tion on, shift the selector lever A or B
a notch upwards or downwards then
switch off the ignition.
The next time the engine is restarted,
P position is engaged automatically
1 9 0 - D r i v i n g
according to the cases described earli­
er.
For safety reasons, do
not switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has
come to a complete
standstill.
Operating faults
In the event of an engine fault or an
electrical fault (battery fault, etc.),
make sure that the vehicle is properly
immobilised.
An impact to the under­
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g. strik­
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g. de­
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
approved dealer.
Gearstick
Selecting reverse gear
With the vehicle stationary, move the
gear lever into neutral then into re­
verse.
Observing the grid on the lever knob
1 , lift the ring 2 towards the knob in
order to engage reverse gear.
The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected (with
the ignition on).
