ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM
The 5-speed electronic gearbox system
gives you the choice between the comfort of
automatic mode or the driving pleasure of a
manual gearbox.
This gearbox gives you access to two driving
modes:
- an automatic mode for the automatic
management of gear changes, with no
driver intervention necessary,
- a sequential mode for manual gear
changes made by the driver using the
gear lever.
It is comprised of a gear lever 1 on the
central console to select the driving mode,
reverse gear and neutral, or to select
sequential mode.
Gear lever positions
N: neutral.
With your foot on the brake pedal, select this
position to start the engine.
R: reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, hold your foot
down on the brake pedal and push the gear
lever upwards.
A: automatic mode.
Move the gear lever downwards to select
this mode.
M+/-: sequential mode with manual gear
changes.
Move the lever downwards, then to the left
to select this mode, then:
- push it forwards to move up a gear,
- pull it backwards to go down a gear.
Starting the vehicle
Select position N .
Press firmly on the brake pedal whilst
starting the engine.
Start the engine. "N" appears on the
instrument panel display.
Select first gear (position M or A) or reverse
gear (position R).
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal, then
accelerate.
"AUTO" and "1" or "R" appear on the
instrument panel display.
It is possible to start in second gear,
only in sequential mode.
