Stopping - Moving off on a slope
When stopping on a slope, do not use the
accelerator to immobilise the vehicle; apply the
parking brake.
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.
Manual mode
F After starting the vehicle, select position M
to change to manual mode.
AUTO disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
The gear change commands are only carried
out if the engine speed permits.
When driving at low speed, on approaching
a stop sign or traffic lights for example,
the gearbox changes down to first gear
automatically.
Automated mode
F Following use of the sequential mode,
select position A to return to the automated
mode.
AUTO and the gear engaged appear
in the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear for:
- optimisation of fuel consumption,
- the driving style,
- the road conditions,
- the vehicle load.
