AUTOMATIc GEARBOX (continued)
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gear repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
– v ehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when starting.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
check that the parking brake is prop-
erly applied (refer to the information on
the “Parking brake” in Section 2).

In automatic mode, the system man -
ages the distribution of air in the pas -

ditions) in the passenger compart -
ment and good visibility while opti -
mising consumption.
Return to automatic mode as
soon as possible.

In automatic mode, depending on
the outside air conditions, the ven -
tilation may not start immediately at
maximum power but will increase
progressively until the engine tem -
perature is warm enough to heat the
passenger compartment air. This
may take from a few seconds to
several minutes.
