GEARBOX


5-speed - reverse gear gearbox




To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, 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.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle is stationary then push the gear
lever to the right then down.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear.









GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR


In order to drive as fuel
effi ciently as possible with a
manual gearbox, this indicator
lamp indicates to the driver to
change up.
The driver remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow this
indication, since the indicator lamp
comes on without taking into account the
confi guration of the road, the amount of
traffi c and safety factors.
The lighting of this indicator lamp cannot
be deactivated.

When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is
disabled.

.



For safety:
It is only possible to come out
of position N
if the brake pedal

The change from position A
(driving in
automatic mode) to position M
(driving
in manual mode) or vice versa can be
made at any time. The warning lamp A

goes off in the instrument panel.


Moving off



- To start the engine, the gear lever
must be in position N
.

- Press fi rmly on the brake pedal.

- Operate the starter.

- When the engine is running, place
the selector lever on R
, A
or M
as
desired.

- Release the brake pedal and
accelerate.
If the gear lever is not in position N
,
and/or if the brake pedal is not
pressed, the engine will not start.
Repeat the above procedure.

Changing gear


In situations of high engine
speeds (heavy acceleration), a
change up will not occur unless
the driver operates electronic gearbox
system lever.
Manual mode

Changing to manual mode

Move the gear lever to M
.

Automatic mode

Changing to automatic
mode

Move the gear lever to A
.
The gearbox then functions in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:


- driving style,

- road profi le,

- optimum fuel consumption.
Pull on the " +
" control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the " -
" control
paddle to change down.


- If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically, to fi rst gear if
needed.

- It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.

- A request to change gear is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits it.

- For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically.

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT


When the vehicle is stationary, unlock
the steering wheel by pulling the lever.
Adjust the height and depth of the
steering wheel, then lock by pushing
the lever fully.

Acceleration

For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing down fi rmly.


Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N
.


Stopping the vehicle

Before stopping the engine, put the
gear lever in position N
.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the

Stop & Start













STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox system
, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear
lever into position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking maoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,

- the parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of
a system.
In this case, the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Daytime lights

Depending on the country in which
the vehicle is sold, the vehicle may
be equipped with daytime lights. The
dipped headlamps come on when the
vehicle is started.
Rear foglamps (amber,
2nd rotation of the ring
forwards). Front foglamps (green,
1st rotation of the ring
forwards).
Front and rear foglamps
Rotate ring B
forwards to switch on
and rearwards to switch off. The
status is confi rmed by the lamp on the
instrument panel.
These operate with the sidelamps and
the dipped beam headlamps.
Do not forget to switch them off
when they are no longer needed.
Operation of the utomatic lighting
switches off the rear foglamps, but the
front foglamps remain on.
This warning light comes on
on the instrument panel.
The instruments and controls
(instrument panel, display, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are
only lit on switching to the automatic
switching on of the lights mode or
when the lights are switched on
manually.


To switch off the front and rear
foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.

Automatic switching on of the lights

In foggy weather or in snow,
the brightness sensor can
detect suffi cient light. As a
consequence, the lights will not come
on automatically.
If necessary, you must switch on
the dipped headlamps manually.
Do not cover the brightness sensor
located on the windscreen, behind
the mirror. It is used for the automatic
switching on of the lights and for the
automatic wipers.

Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO position.
The activation of this function is
accompanied by a message on the
display.

Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards.
The deactivation of this function is
accompanied by a message on the
display.
The function is deactivated temporarily
when you use the manual lights stalk. The side lights
and dipped beam
headlamps switch
on automatically if
the light is poor, or
during operation of the windscreen
wipers. They switch off as soon as the
light becomes bright enough or the
windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime lights.
