Gearboxes and steering wheel
MANUAL
To change gear easily, always press the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.
GEARBOXES AND STEERING WHEEL
With the vehicle stationary, first adjust your
seat to the most suitable position.
Unlock the steering wheel by pulling the
lever towards you.
Adjust the depth of the steering wheel, then
lock by lowering the lever fully.
As a safety precaution, these operations
must not be carried out while driving.
Reverse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
Your reversing manoeuvre is indicated by a
buzzer on the outside.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
assistance, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged and
an audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Rear parking assistance"
section of chapter 4.

Starting and stopping
Hill start assistance
This function, linked with the ESP, makes
starting on a hill easier and is activated in
the following conditions:
- the vehicle must be stationary, with the engine running,
- the gradient of the road must be greater than 5 %, With the brake pedal pressed and the clutch
pedal pressed, when you release the brake
pedal you have approximately 2 seconds
without rolling back and without using the
handbrake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically with gradual
reduction of the braking pressure.
During this phase, a typical noise of
mechanical releasing of the brakes may be
heard, signalling the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
