To change gear easily, always depress
the
clutch
pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught
under
the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned
and
secured correctly on the floor,
-
never
fit
one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on
the
gear
knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components
of
the gearbox over time.
Changing into 5th or 6th gear
To engage the gear correctly, move the
gear lever fully to the right.
Engaging reverse gear
The lever should be moved slowly
to reduce noise.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary,
release
the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism
by pulling the lever.
Adjust
the steering wheel for height
and

The information appears
in the instrument panel
in the form of an arrow. It
may be accompanied by a
recommended
gear.
The system adapts its gear
change recommendation
according to the driving conditions
(slope,
load, ...) and the demands
of the driver (power
, acceleration,
braking, ...).
The
system never suggests:
-
engaging
first gear,
-
engaging
reverse gear.
With an electronic gearbox, the system
is
only
active
in
manual
mode.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one (or more)
gear(s).
Y
ou can follow this instruction
without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered
compulsory.
This
is
because
the configuration of the road,
the
traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing
the
best gear.
Therefore,
the driver
remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications
given.
This
function cannot be deactivated.
