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  
w

ith   the   engine   at   idle.
Automated mode
AUTO and   the   gear   engaged   appear  i
n   the   instrument   panel.
The
 
gearbox   then   operates   in   auto-adaptive  
m

ode,
 
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,
-
 
r

oad
 
conditions,
-
 
v

ehicle   load.
For
 
optimum   acceleration,   when   overtaking  
a

nother
 
vehicle   for   example,   press   the  
a

ccelerator   pedal   fully   down,   beyond   the   point  
o

f
 
resistance. You
  can   change   mode   at   any   time   by  
m

oving   the   gear   lever   from   A to M or
the
  other   way   round.
The
 
creep
 
function
 
may
 
be
 
temporarily
 
u

navailable
 
if
 
the
 
clutch
 
temperature
 
is
 
t

oo
 
high
 
or
 
the
 
slope
 
too
 
steep.

changing
You can temporarily take over control of gear c hanges   using   the   steering   mounted   "+"
