Operation
With the gear lever in position P or N,
switch on the ignition.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light 3 goes out), shift from
position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-
leased.
To move out of position P, you must
depress the brake pedal before
pressing the unlocking button.
Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In most traffic conditions, you will not
have to touch the gear selector lever
again: the gears will change automati-
cally at the right time and at the most
suitable engine speed because the au-
tomatic system takes into account the
vehicle load and road contour and ad-
2
justs itself to the particular driving style
you have chosen.

Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
