fi r s t g e a r a u t o m a t i c a l l y .
AUTO and the gear engaged
appear on the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
the part of the driver. It continuously se-
lects the most suitable gear in relation
to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road conditions,
- vehicle load.
When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal is triggered.

"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using the
steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a more rapid change-down
than in the automated mode (arrival at
a roundabout, leaving a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the required gear if
the engine speed permits. AUTO remains
displayed on the instrument panel.
After a few minutes, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears. "Snow" automated mode
In the automated mode, if the vehicle de-
tects poor grip, the gearbox will change
automatically to the "snow" automated
mode.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position
N to be in neutral.
In this case, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery,
the gearbox must be reinitialised.
