DCS GEARBOX
The six-speed electronically controlled
gearbox offers a choice between the
comfort of automatic regulation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
This gearbox has three driving modes:


- a manual
mode for changing of the
gears by the driver using the steering
mounted controls or the gear lever,

- a " Normal
" automatic mode for eco-
nomical control of the gears (every-
day use),

- a " Sport
" automatic mode which
permits a more dynamic style of
driving, with improved acceleration
and optimised engine braking.
When you move the lever in the gate
to select a position, the corresponding
indicator or message is displayed in the
instrument panel.

P.
Park.

R.
Reverse.

N.
Neutral.

D.
Drive (Automatic mode).

NORMAL.

"Normal" automatic mode


Select position D
.

"D"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in automatic
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations
in the pressure on the accelerator pedal.

"Temporary" manual mode
In automatic mode, you can take control
temporarily at any time using the steering
mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster change down
than that offered in automatic mode
(arrival at a roundabout, exit from a
car park with a steep gradient, overtak-
ing...).
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automatic mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF"
control for at
least 2 seconds.



"Sport" automatic mode

From automatic mode, you can engage
"Sport" mode.
With the vehicle moving or stationary,
push the thumb wheel A
forward.

"SPORT"
appears in the instrument
panel screen.

Switching off "Sport" automatic mode
You can return to "Normal" automatic
mode at any time:
Push the thumbwheel A
rearward
once.
Before switching off the engine, you
must engage position P
or N
to place
the gearbox in neutral.
You must apply the parking brake to im-
mobilise the vehicle.
The gear lever must be in position P
to
remove the ignition key.
Stopping the vehicle
Hill start assist
To assist you when starting on a gradi-
ent, your vehicle is fi tted with a system
which immobilises it briefl y (approxi-
mately 2 seconds), the time required to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal. This function is
only active when the vehicle has been
completely immobilised with your foot
on the brake pedal and on certain gra-
dients.

Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start assist temporary immo-
bilisation phase.

To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient
for a longer period, you must use the
parking brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.

What is RDS?
RDS station following
Tr a ffi c information function
Your radio automatically checks
and selects the best frequency
for the radio station to which it is
tuned (if the station broadcasts on sev-
eral transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers
approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another
explains the loss of reception during a
journey.
If the station to which you are listening
does not have several frequencies in
the region in which you are currently lo-
cated, you can deactivate the automatic
frequency following.


Radio Data System (RDS) func-
tion on the FM waveband permits:


- tuning to the same station while
travelling through different regions
(if the transmitters of this station
cover the area through which you
are travelling),

- temporary tuning to traffi c informa-
tion announcements,

- display of the name of the station,
etc...
Most FM stations use RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible
data in addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
temporary tuning to traffi c information
announcements or automatic station
following.
RDS allows you to continue listening to the
same station by means of the frequency
following. However, in certain conditions,
this RDS frequency following cannot be
provided throughout the country. Radio
stations do not cover the whole country,
which explains the loss of reception of the
station during a journey. The Traffic Program (TP) func-
tion permits automatic and tem-
porary switching to an FM sta-
tion broadcasting traffi c information.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the traffi c information has ended,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were lis-
tening to initially.

Regional following mode
Some stations are organised in
a network.
In different regions, they broad-
cast different or shared programmes
depending on the time of day.
You can follow:


- a regional station only,

- the entire network, with the possibility
that you will be listening to a different
programme.

Programme types

Some stations offer the option
of listening to a themed type of
