Driving in automatic mode
Place the lever into position D.
In the majority of driving conditions, you
will no longer have to use your gear
lever: the gears change automatically,
at the right time, to a suitable engine
speed because “automatic” takes the
vehicle’s load, road profile and driving
style into account.
