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

Press firmly on the brake pedal whilst
starting the engine.
