creep function
(depending on equipment)
This function allows the vehicle to be
manoeuvred  more   easily   at   low   speeds  
(when
  parking,   in   traffic   jams...).
With
  the   gear   lever   in   position   A, M or R , the
vehicle moves as soon as you take your
foot off the brake pedal , at low speed and
with
  the   engine   at   idle.

without   any   action   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river.
 
It
 
continuously   selects   the   most   suitable  
g

ear
 
taking   account   of:
-
 
o

ptimisation   of   fuel   consumption,
-
 
d

riving   style,
-

For
 
optimum   acceleration,   when   overtaking  
a

nother
 
vehicle   for   example,   press   the  
a

ccelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point
of
 
resistance. You
  can   change   mode   at   any   time   by  
m

oving   the   gear   lever   from   A to M or
the
  other   way   round.
