Operating faults
– When driving, if the message
“Check gearbox” and the
©
warning light appear on the instru -
ment panel, this indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– When driving, if the message
“Gearbox overheating” appears on
the instrument panel, drive at a mod-
erate speed and avoid leaving the
lever in the D (or R) position, where
traffic conditions allow: always return
to the N position when you stop.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
AUTOMATIC GEARbOx (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (eg.:
engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Program) the auto -
mated system may change the gear au-
tomatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.

Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi -
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb
or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved
dealer.

AUTOMATIC GEARbOx (3/3)
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
select second gear manually before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when starting.
Parking the vehicleWhen 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.
Apply the handbrake.
Special circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving on
ground where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press switch 4 ,
and operating tell-tale 5 will come
on.
Once these special driving con -
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 4
again. Operating tell-tale light 5
goes out.

– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (eg. in the mountains), we rec-
ommend 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..

t OwIng: breakdown (2/2)
towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox

gearbox is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
u nder exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going
forward, with the gear lever in the
n eutral position, and for a distance
not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are de -
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the
base of the lever.
Press simultaneously on mark 1
and on the unlocking button on the
lever.
