Stopping the vehicle
Before switching of f the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the
gearbox
in neutral.
In
both
cases,
apply
the
parking
brake
to
immobilise
the
vehicle,
unless
it
is
programmed
to automatic mode.

ignition
is
switched
of

there
is

appears.
F
Return
the lever to posi-

risk damaging the gearbox:
-
if
you
press
the
accelera

tor
and
brake
pedals
at
the
same
time,
-
if
you
force
the
lever
from
position P
to another position
when
the battery is flat.

on,
the
lighting
of
this
warning
lamp,
accompanied
by

Y
ou
may
feel
a
substantial
knock
when
changing
