AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
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.

Driving in manual mode
With selector lever 1 in position D, pull
the lever to the left (changing gear
using the lever).
Changing gear using the lever
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.:
engine protection, operation of the
electronic stability program: ESP), the
automated system may change the
gear automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
