The engine can only be started when the lever is at position P or N.
A safety device ensures that starting is impossible in the other positions.
After starting the engine, with selector on P, depress the brake pedal then
shift the selector to D, R or M :
• D for automatic mode.
• R for reverse gear.
• M to change to manual mode.
The change from position D (driving in automatic mode) to position M (driv-
ing in sequential mode) or vice versa can by made at any time.
USING THE AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Parking
To avoid any movement of the vehicle when parked, select position P. Only engage it when the vehicle is
completely stationary. In this position the driving wheels are locked.Check that the selector is in the correct
position. Apply the electric parking brake firmly.
Reverse gear
Do not engage until the vehicle is stationary, foot on brake. To avoid gearbox snatching, do not accelerate
immediately after the selection.
Neutral
Do not select position N
if the vehicle is moving
(except in absolute neces-
sity).
