AUTOMATIC FORWARD DRIVE
The gearbox always selects the gear best adapted to the following param-
eters :
• Style of driving.
• Road profile.
• Vehicle load.
In this way the gearbox operates without the need for your intervention.
For certain manoeuvres (for example overtaking), it is possible to obtain
maximum acceleration by pressing hard down on the accelerator pedal,
which may trigger automatic changedown to a lower gear.
Remarks :
• During braking, the gearbox may kick down automatically in order to offer
an effective engine brake.
• If you suddenly lift your foot off the accelerator, the gearbox will guard
your safety by not changing up again.
SEQUENTIAL FORWARD DRIVE
Selector position for manual gear changing
• Selector on M.
• Push the selector towards « + » to change up a gear.
• Pull the selector towards « - » to change down a gear.
Note :
Passage from one gear to another is only possible when vehicle speed
•
and engine speed permit.
• The « SPORT » and « SNOW » modes are not available in sequential
operation.
• If the engine speed is too high, the gearbox automatically selects a higher
gear.
• If the engine speed is too low, the gearbox automatically selects a lower
gear.
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.
