heated rear screen button.
Select the mirror to be adjusted by turning
the control to the right or to the left, then
move the control in the direction of the
adjustment required.
Manual controls
The right-hand and left-hand manual
controls are located inside the vehicle at the
base of each mirror.

adjustment required.
The lever located on the lower edge moves
the mirror into two positions.
For the day position, the lever is pushed

The mirror glass is convex in order to widen
the lateral field of vision. Objects seen in the
mirror are in reality closer than they appear.
Therefore, this must be taken into account in
order to assess the distance correctly.

ELECTRONIC GEARBOX
The five-speed electronic gearbox offers a
choice between the comfort of automated
operation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.
This gearbox provides two driving modes:
-
an automated mode for automatic control

of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the part of the
driver,
-

a sequential mode for manual changing

of the gears by the driver using the gear
lever.
It consists of:
1.

a gear lever
1 on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear in
sequential mode,
2.

a button
2 to activate or deactivate the
economy programme.

With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start, by moving the gear lever to
the right and then forwards.

UT
o
or sequential mode used
before switching off the ignition remains
in memory when the vehicle is restarted.Stopping - Starting on a slope
This gearbox is electronically controlled and
does not have a clutch pedal.
Do not use the accelerator pedal to hold
the vehicle on a slope, apply the parking
brake instead; failure to follow this
procedure can overheat the clutch and
damage the gearbox.
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
It is also possible to move of

nd gear on slippery surfaces
(2nd press on +).
Automated mode
once you have moved off, you can switch to
automated mode by selecting position A/M.
"AUTO" and the gear engaged
appear in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver.
It continuously selects the most appropriate
gear depending on the:
-

vehicle speed,
-


engine speed,
-


accelerator pedal position.
T

o optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you fully depress the accelerator pedal,
the gearbox changes down for sharper
acceleration.
By rapidly pushing the accelerator fully
down, the vehicle moves off quickly.
