Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P :

 it is essential to press the brake
pedal,

 release the handbrake,

 select position R , D or M , then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N .
When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if position

R , D or M is selected the
vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the
vehicle, with the engine running .
If the lever is not in position P , an
audible signal is heard and a message
appears when the driver’s door is
opened or approximately 45 seconds
after the ignition is switched off. Move
the lever to P . The audible signal
stops and the message disappears. When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running, ap-
ply the handbrake and select
position
P . Never select position
N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R unless the vehicle is
stationary.
Never change between positions
to optimise braking on a slippery
surface.
Sport and snow programmes
In addition to the auto-adaptive
programme, there are two special
programmes.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
Automatic operation

Automatic changing of the four or
six gears:

 select position D in the gate.

If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety. Sport programme
