Handbrake/Power-assisted steering
HANDBRAKE, POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
To apply
Pull lever
1 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
Depending on the gradient
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary when station-
ary to apply the brake by
at least a further two notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear).
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

Power-assisted steering
With the engine running, do not leave
the steering wheel at full lock while sta-
tionary as this may damage the power-
assisted steering pump.
With the engine switched off, or if there
is a system fault, it is still possible to
turn the steering wheel. The force re-
quired will be greater.

Operation
With the gear lever in position P or N,
switch on the ignition.
With your foot on the brake pedal, move
the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-

Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In the majority of traffic conditions, you
will not have to touch the gear selector
lever again: the gear will be changed
automatically at the right time and at
the most suitable engine speed be-
cause the automatic system takes into
account the vehicle load and road con-
tour and adjusts itself to the particular
driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi-
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

Operating faults
If a vehicle with an automatic gear-
box breaks down, please refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the base of the lever, press recess
6 ,
visible

on the gear lever gaiter, and the
unlocking button

f the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain-
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.

n cold weather
, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.

V

ehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel-
spin when accelerating.
In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING (2/2)
In very hot weather or when the vehicle
has been parked in the sun, open the
doors for a few moments to let the hot
air escape before starting the engine.
Use the passenger compartment isola-
tion function to lower the temperature
as quickly as possible to the required
comfort level. Switch off the air recircu-
lation function once a comfortable level
has been reached. When the air conditioning system is op-
erating, all windows must be closed for
maximum efficiency.
If there is an operating fault, contact an
approved dealer.
If no cold air is produced
Check that the controls are set correctly
and that the fuses are sound. If they are
not, switch off the heating and air condi-
tioning system (warning light integrated
into button
B
)

and contact an author-
ised dealer.
Adjusting the air temperature.
Move control F to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the control is
in the red, the more the temperature will
be increased.
Do not open the refrigerant
fluid circuit. The fluid may
damage eyes or skin.

Always position the heaviest items directly on the floor. Use the lashing points on the luggage compartment floor, if
these are fitted to the vehicle. The luggage should be loaded in such a way that no items will be thrown forward and
strike the occupants if the driver has to brake suddenly. Fasten the rear seat belts, even if the seats are not occupied.
Transporting objects in the
luggage compartment
Always position the objects transported
so that the largest surface is against:
–

The
back of the rear bench seat, for
normal loading.
–

The front seats for maximum loads.
E

nsure that the load is evenly distrib-
uted over the largest possible loading
surface to prevent damage to the ve-
hicle.
