Manual forward gear

Regardless of the current gearbox mode, mode

P is immediately engaged automatically when

the ignition is switched off.

However, in mode N, mode P will be engaged

after a delay of 5 seconds (time to enable

freewheeling mode).

Check that mode P has been engaged and

that the electric parking brake was applied

automatically; if not, apply it manually.

Special aspects of automatic mode

The gearbox selects the gear that provides

optimal performance based on ambient

temperature, road profile, vehicle loading and

driving style.

For maximum acceleration, press the accelerator

fully down (kick-down). The gearbox changes

down automatically or holds the selected gear

until the maximum engine speed is reached.

Steering mounted controls allow the driver to

temporarily select a gear, if the vehicle speed

and engine speed conditions permit.

The state of the gearbox remains displayed on

the instrument panel for a few seconds after

switching off the ignition.

Operation

Only appropriate mode change instructions are

validated.

With the engine running, if it is necessary to

depress the brake pedal to change modes,

an alert message will be displayed on the

instrument panel.

The corresponding indicator lamps

on the gear selector and the electric

parking brake control must be on, as

well as the indicator lamps on the in-

strument panel.

Special aspects of manual mode

The gearbox only changes from one gear to

another if the vehicle speed and engine speed

conditions permit.

With the engine running and the brakes

released, if R, D or M is selected, the

vehicle moves off, even without pressing the

accelerator pedal.

Never depress the accelerator and brake

pedals at the same time - risk of damage to

the gearbox!
