Starting
The display shows N (neutral) and A
(automatic mode).
Forwards gear
– With the brake pedal depressed,
push the selector lever forwards and
release it (the number 1 will appear
on the display);
– release the brake pedal and acceler-
ate gently to move forwards.
Reverse
– With your foot on the brake pedal,
push the selector lever towards the
right and backwards, and then re -
lease it.
Reverse gear is engaged (letter R
appears on the display).
– release the brake pedal then accel -
erate gently to move backwards. The
engine’s idle speed is sufficient for
parking manoeuvres.
When the vehicle is stationary, push
the selector lever towards the front to
engage a forwards gear.
operation
Switch on the ignition.
The display on the instrument panel
switches on. If neutral (N) is displayed,
start the engine but do not depress the
accelerator.
If a gear other than neutral ( N) is dis -
played, it will flash; starting is possi-
ble if you depress the brake pedal
(indicator light 4 will come on if you
forget) when holding the key in the
starting position.
The gear will automatically change to
neutral (N) and the engine will start.
You may also select neutral after
switching on the ignition by pushing the
lever to the right whilst depressing the
brake pedal.
When the engine is running, automatic
mode will be selected by default.
Note: if the display does not light up
when the ignition is switched on (dis -
charged battery), do not attempt to start
the engine by pushing the vehicle. Shifting to neutral
With the brake pedal depressed, push
the lever to the right.
Note:
when the vehicle is stationary,
you must depress the brake pedal to
engage or disengage a gear. Otherwise,
warning light 4 will light up.

changing mode
You can change mode at any time
by pushing the lever to the left. This
switches mode without changing gear.
Driving in manual mode
Using the selector lever
Pushing the lever repeatedly allows
you to change gears manually:
– To change up a gear: push the lever
forwards;
– to change down a gear: push the
lever backwards;
– to change to neutral: with the brake
pedal depressed (indicator light 4
will come on if you forget), push the
lever towards the right.
Note: when the vehicle is stationary
(braking, red light, etc.), the system au-
tomatically switches to first gear.
By pushing the lever forwards twice
you can move up two gears at a time
(unless this causes low engine speeds).
By pushing the lever backwards twice
you can move down two gears at a time
(unless this causes overrevving).
Note: neutral may only be selected
when the vehicle is being driven or is
stationary when the brake pedal is
depressed (if you forget, warning
light 4 will light up).
Accelerating and overtaking
To obtain maximum vehicle perform -
ance, in automatic or manual mode,
quickly depress the accelerator pedal
beyond the kickdown point.
This will activate the kickdown func -
tion allowing you to change down to the
most suitable gear.
QUIcKShIFt GeARBoX (3/5)
Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on,
automatic mode is selected by default
(letter A on the display).
The vehicle is controlled using the ac -
celerator and the brake.
Gears will change automatically at
the correct moment and at a suitable
engine speed because automatic mode
takes into consideration the road sur -
face and the chosen driving style.
You may change the gear selection
made by the automatic system (unless
this risks the engine being overrevved
or underrevved):
– by pushing the lever forwards or
backwards.
You can stop the vehicle at red lights,
with the gear engaged, by pressing the
brake pedal; there is no need to change
to neutral.
If the engine is being overrevved or underevved, the system will select the opti-
mal gear.

Parking
To park the vehicle with a gear en -
gaged (on a slope, for example): before
switching off the engine, check that a
gear other than N is displayed on the
instrument panel.
The next time the engine is started, de-
press the brake pedal. The vehicle will
then automatically change to neutral
(letter N on the display).
Audible warning
If you hold the vehicle on a slope for
too long without applying the brakes or
handbrake you will strain the system
and there is a risk that the clutch will
overheat.
In this case, an intermittent beeping
sound will remind you that you should
put your foot on the brake pedal or
apply the handbrake.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running when in gear. For safety rea -
sons you will hear an intermittent beep -
ing sound when you open the door if
you have not shifted into neutral or you
have not switched off the ignition or de-
pressed the brake pedal.
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.

ple).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
the vehicle should always be towed
with the ignition switched off.operating faults
ÒWhen driving, if this warning
light comes on together with
warning light
©, this indicates a
system fault. In most cases, you may
still drive the vehicle, although it will not
function perfectly. Contact an approved
dealer as soon as possible.

battery is not discharged (display lit up):
– Switch on the ignition;
– select neutral;
– push the vehicle or roll it down a suf-
ficiently steep slope. Then push the
selector lever forwards.
The optimum gear for starting the
engine will then be automatically se -
lected.

reverse.
