Operation in auto-active automa- tic mode Automatic changing between the four gears Selector on D.
The gearbox always selects the gear best adapted to the followingparameters:
- style of driving,
- route profile,
- vehicle load. In this way the gearbox operates in auto-active mode, without the needfor your intervention. Notes: When braking, the gearbox shifts
down automatically to offer effectiveengine braking. The gearbox also looks to your safety by not changing up when youlift your foot from the accelerator
abruptly.
To obtain maximum acceleration
without touching the lever, pressrapidly down on the accelerator
pedal (kick down). The gearbox willautomatically change down ormaintain the selected gear up tomaximum engine speed. Warning:
- Never select
Nfunction if the
vehicle is moving.
- Never select Por Rif the vehicle
is not stationary.
- Do not change from one function to another to try to improve bra- king on a slippery surface.
If, while the vehicle is moving, func-tion Nis engaged inadvertently, let
the engine idle before engaging afunction that is appropriate. Snow programme Also in the auto-adaptive program- me, there is a specific programmeaiding starting and roadholding intreacherous conditions. Press button

Operation in sequential mode Manual changing of the four gears:
- Selector on M,
- push the selector towards the Ç+È sign to engage a higher gear,
- pull the selector towards the ÇÐÈ to engage a lower gear.
A shift from D(automatic mode) to M
(sequential mode) is possible at any time.
After selecting a gear, do not leave your hand resting on the selector formore than ten seconds; risk of cancel-ling the sequential function Ð this issignalled by a flashing on the instru-ment panel. Contact your dealer network. Note:
Changes from one gear to
another are only achievable when conditions of vehicle speed and
engine speed allow. If they do not,then the laws governing operationof automatic gearboxes come into
play. Stationary or at very low speed, the gearbox automatically selects gearM1. The programme Ç ❄
È (Snow) does
not apply in manual mode. Operational anomalyAny operational disturbance is signalled by a flashing in the dis-
play. In this case, the gearbox will opera- te in emergency mode (third gear is
blocked). You will feel a bump whenshifting from
Pto Rand from Nto
R ; this snatching does no harm to
your gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph.Contact your dealer network.

SEAT BELTS132
Replacing the pyrotechnic pretensioner systems
They must be replaced following deployment or within ten years after first
registration of the vehicle. This must be done by the dealer network. In accordance with the strict security regulations in force, any repairs or checks must be performed exclusively by the dealer network. Any repairs that have not been carried out in strict compliance with the regulations could prevent the systems from operating correctly or couldcause their premature deployment, with the risk of bodily injuries.
Warning When the pretensioners are deployed, there is a light dischargeof harmless smoke and a loudnoise, both due to the detonation ofthe integral explosive cartridgesthat activate them. Seat belts equipped with pyrotechnic pretensioners and grabbers
¥ The purpose of the pretensioners is to tension the front seat belts in such a
way as to pull the occupants back into their seat, thereby improving the seat
belt's effectiveness.
¥ As the pretensioners activate, the seat belt grabber locks the belt. As the seat belt locks, only a very slight extension of the belt takes place and fur-ther forward movement of the occupant during the impact is restricted.
In the event of an accident or violent braking, the seat belt will restrain theoccupants and prevent them from being thrown from the vehicle. It is for this reason that legislation demands that both front and rear seat occu- pants wear a seat belt, including pregnant women.

SEAT BELTS133
- Make all seat belt adjustments when the vehicle is stationary.
- Do not allow the seat belt to rest on any hard or breakable objectsin your pockets.
- Do not use any type of clip or clamp which would prevent the seat belt from tensioning correctly.
- Never use the same seat belt for more than one occupant.
- Never carry a child on your lap.
- Check the seat belts and attachments regularly for cleanliness.
- Have the seat belts checked periodically by your dealer, especially after an accident (even if only minor).
To put on the seat belts: Grip the buckle and withdraw the seat belt smoothly across yourbody making sure that it is not twis-ted. Insert the buckle tongue into itsfixed section of the buckle and pushhome to lock. Pull to check that issecurely located. The lap strap must be positioned as low as possible across the pelvisand should be as tight as possible. The backrest of the seat should be as close to vertical as possible toavoid any risk of slipping beneaththe belt in an impact. SEAT BELTS FRONT The front seats of your vehicle are fitted with height adjustable inertiareel seat belts and pretensionerand grabbing devices.
Two of the three rear seat belts are of the inertia reel type. The wearing of seat belts is obli- gatory for all the occupants ofthe vehicle.
To offer the maximum degree of protection, it is essential that the
seat belt is worn correctly.
Adjusting the height of theupper seat belt anchorage The shoulder strap must be positio- ned across the centre of the shoul-der (see diagram). Never allow theseat belt to run across the neck norunder the arm.
