Drive
The gearbox always selects the gear best adapted to the following param-eters:
- style of driving,
- r o u t e p r o fi l e ,
- vehicle load.
In this way the gearbox operates in autoadaptive mode, without the need for your intervention.
For certain manoeuvres (for example overtaking), it is possible to ob tain maxi-mum acceleration by pressing hard down on the accelerator pedal, which may trigger automatic changedown to a lower gear.
Note
During braking, the gearbox may kick down automatically in order t o offer an effective engine brake.
If you rapidly lift your foot off the accelerator, the gearbox will guard your safety by not changing up again.
Sequential forward drive
Selector position for manual gear changing.
- Selector at M.
- Push the selector towards the sign "+" to change up a gear.
- Pull the selector towards the sign "-" to change down a gear.
Note: Passage from one gear to another is only possible when vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
The Sport and Snow programmes are not operative in sequential mode.
The change from position D (drive in automatic mode) to position M (drive in sequential mode) or vice versa may be effected at any time.

This driving assistance function allows you to drive at the speed of your choice without the need to action the accelerator.
This system is available above 40 km/h (25 mph), with 4th gear or higher on a manual gearbox or 2nd gear or higher on an automatic gear-box.
Note: Information relating to the cruise control is displayed in zone A of the instrument panel.
To select the function
Turn control 1 to position "REG".
To select a cruising speed
At the time you select the function via the control 1, there is no cruise speed previously memorised:
Note: you can use successive presses to modify the cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a continuous press to jump in steps of 5 mph.
Accelerate to the desired speed, then press button 2 or button 4. The cruise speed will then be memo-rised and displayed in zone A on the instrument panel.
You can then release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will automatically keep to that chosen speed.
Note: The vehicle speed may vary slightly from that memorised.
CRUISE CONTROL
Adjustment of the memorised speed while cruise control is in operation
To adjust the memorised speed, dis-played in zone A, press on:
- button 4 to increase the speed,
- button 2 to decrease the speed.
To exceed the cruise speed temporarily
While cruise control is in use, it is always possible to go above the cruise speed simply by pressing the accelerator pedal (for example to overtake another vehicle). The speed displayed in zone A fl a s h e s .
You have only to release the acce-lator pedal to return to your cruise speed.
Note: if during cruise control the sys-tem cannot keep to the cruise speed (e.g. on a steep descent), then the s p e e d fl a s h e s . I f n e c e s s a r y , b r a k e t o curb your speed.
