Driving
Temporary manual control
Automatic operation
If P is displayed in the instrument panel
while the selector is in another position,
place the selector in position P to allow
the engine to be started.
If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle,
then select position D to accelerate.
of gear changes
You can temporarily take over control of gear
changes using the "+" and "-" steering mounted
control paddles. If the engine speed allows, the
gear change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
F
Select position D for automatic
changing of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
If position R, D or M is selected when the
engine is running at idle, with the brakes
released, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children in the vehicle
unsupervised.
As a safety measure, never leave the
vehicle without taking your key or remote
control with you, even for a short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the selector, press the
accelerator fully (kick-down).
The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear
selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.
Creep function (moving
without using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D, M or R selected, the vehicle
moves as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
6
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
For better safety, the gearbox will not shift up if
you release the accelerator sharply.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
As a safety measure (with children on
board), never leave the vehicle with the
engine running and the doors closed.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
