ELECTRONIC GEARBOX
The five-speed electronic gearbox offers a
choice between the comfort of automated
operation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.
This gearbox provides two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver using the gear
lever.
It consists of:
1. a gear lever 1 on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear in
sequential mode,
2. a button 2 to activate or deactivate the
economy programme. Gear lever gate
All movements of the gear lever are given
from the middle position.
N : neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start, by moving the gear lever to
the right and then forwards.
R : reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, keep your foot
on the brake pedal and move the gear lever
to the right and then backwards.
M +/-: sequential mode with manual gear
changing.
Make a long push to the left on the lever to
select this mode, then:
- push towards + to change up,
- push towards - to change down. Displays in the instrument panel
N. Neutral.
R. Reverse.

programme is activated; it goes off on
deactivation.

Move the lever downwards to select this
mode.

Gearbox and steering wheel Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, with your
foot on the brake pedal, you should:
- select first gear or reverse.
- apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Temporarily changing gear
You can also request a gear change using
the gear lever.
This action does not deactivate the
automated mode, but allows temporary
use of the sequential mode functions (for
example: for overtaking another vehicle...).
"AUTO" remains displayed in the instrument
panel screen.
"ECO" economy programme
This programme works with the automated
mode to reduce fuel consumption.
Press button E to activate the programme. Sequential mode
After using the automated mode, you can
return to the sequential mode by selecting
position
A /M again.
"E" appears in the instrument
panel screen, next to "AUTO"
and the gear selected by the
gearbox.
The gearbox then selects the best gear for
the speed of the vehicle, the engine speed
and the accelerator pedal position to reduce
fuel consumption.
"AUTO" disappears and the
gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument
panel screen.
t is not necessary to take your foot off the
accelerator pedal to change the gear.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it. The
system gives an audible signal if a gear
change is not possible.
At low speeds, when approaching a stop
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox
changes down to first gear automatically. Release the brake pedal after the display
of the gear engaged has disappeared
from the instrument panel screen.
Never leave the vehicle with the
gearbox in neutral (position
N ). In
this case, there is an audible signal on
switching off the ignition (ignition key in
the STOP position).

Gearbox and steering wheel Special cases: START invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:
- the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,
- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
- the engine has been stopped for more than 3 minutes with Stop & Start,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system. Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if
a gear is engaged without fully depressing
the clutch pedal, a warning lamp comes on
or a message is displayed in the instrument
panel asking you to fully depress the clutch
pedal to restart the engine.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only
be restarted using the ignition key. This is
indicated by an audible signal, accompanied
by flashing of the service warning lamp and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the the
vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the system
s t o p s t h e e n g i n e d e fi n i t i v e l y . T h e e n g i n e c a n
then only be restarted using the key.
Going into engine START mode
The "S" warning lamp goes off and
the engine starts:
- with a manual gearbox , depress the
clutch pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox :
