operation
Switch on the ignition.
The display on the instrument panel
switches on. If neutral (N) is displayed,
start the engine but do not depress the
accelerator.
If a gear other than neutral (N) is dis-
played, it will flash; starting is possi-
ble if you depress the brake pedal
(indicator light 4 will come on if you
forget) when holding the key in the
starting position.
The gear will automatically change to
neutral (N) and the engine will start.
You may also select neutral after switch-
ing on the ignition by pushing the lever
to the right whilst depressing the brake
pedal.
When the engine is running, automatic
mode will be selected by default.
Note: if the display does not light up
when the ignition is switched on (dis-
charged battery), do not attempt to start
the engine by pushing the vehicle.
The oil level in the automatic gearbox system reservoir is variable depending on use. Adding oil is strictly forbidden
(except by qualified approved network personnel).
