ments, this position enables the
driver at any time to exclude any dis-
agreeable odours or fumes coming
from outside the vehicle. It should
be cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of cabin air and to
prevent misting.

sition M .

Controls behind the steering
wheel
The paddles behind the steering
wheel give you access to the six for-
ward gears. Changing gear

 Pull the " + " paddle to change up
a gear.

 Pull the " - " paddle to change
down a gear. The paddles do not permit you to se-
lect neutral or reverse gear, or to exit
reverse gear.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when ap-
proaching a stop sign), the gear-
box changes down automatically,
to fi rst gear if needed.
- In manual mode, it is not neces-sary to release the accelerator
completely during gear changes.
- A request to change gear is ac- cepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending on the engine speed, a change
down may be performed auto-
matically.
In situations of high engine
speeds (heavy accelera-
tion), a change up will not
occur unless the driver op-
erates the paddle.
