Drive
The gearbox always selects the gear best adapted to the following parameters:
- s t y l e o f d r i v i n g ,
- r o u t e p r o fi l e ,
- v e h i c l e l o a d .
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 maximum 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 to 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

For safety, do not use a CD player if the cabin temperature is higher than +60 °C or lower than -10° C.If the temperature becomes too high, an automatic safety device will prevent the CD player from working until an acceptable temperature is restored.
Handling compact discs
Do not drop them. Store the CDs so that they are kept of dust. Avoid touching the disc surface as any scratches may adversely affect the sound quality. Do not attach any stickers to the discs. Do not use damaged or deformed discs. Do not expose them to heat or direct sunlight.If the surface of the compact disc is dirty, it can be wiped with a soft, clean cloth. Always wipe from the centre of the disc outwards.
