Moving off
You must press the brake pedal.
Start the engine; the gearbox changes into
neutral automatically.
t
he gear lever stays in the position selected
before switching off the ignition.
"N" appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal when
you release the brake pedal, to indicate that
there is a difference between the position of
the gear lever and the gear selected in the
gearbox.
Select first gear (move the lever towards + )
or reverse (position R ).
"1" or "R" appears in the instrument panel
screen.
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal and
then accelerate away.
t he A 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
f in
2
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.
t
he 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.
to 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.

"E" appears in the instrument
panel screen, next to "AUTO"
and the gear selected by the
gearbox.
t
he gearbox then selects the best gear for
the speed of the vehicle, the engine speed
and the accelerator pedal position to reduce
fuel consumption. "AUTO" disappears and the
gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument
panel screen.
t is not necessary to take your foot off the
accelerator pedal to change the gear.
t
he gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it.
t
he
system gives an audible signal if a gear
change is not possible.
At low speeds, when approaching a stop
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox
changes down to first gear automatically.
Release the brake pedal after the display
of the gear engaged has disappeared
from the instrument panel screen.
Never leave the vehicle with the
gearbox in neutral (position N ). In this
case, there is an audible signal on switching
off the ignition (ignition key in
the STOP
position).
