There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
 
i
f   you   press   the   accelerator   and  
b

rake   pedals   at   the   same   time,
-
 
i
f   you   force   the   movement   of   the  
s

elector   from   the   P position to
another position when the battery is
discharged.
If the selector is not in position P
,
when
 
the
 
driver's
 
door
 
is

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can e ngage   position   P or N   to   place   the   gearbox   in  
neu

tral.
In
  both   cases,   apply   the   parking   brake   to

It
  is   only   possible   to   change   from   one   gear   to  
a

nother   if   the   vehicle   speed   and   engine   speed  
p

ermit;   other wise,   the   gearbox   will   operate  
t

emporarily   in   automatic   mode.

If
  the   engine   speed   is   too   low   or   too   high,   the  
g

ear   selected   flashes   for   a   few   seconds,   then  
t

he   actual   gear   engaged   is   displayed.
It
  is   possible   to   change   from   position   D
(automatic)
  to   position   M   (manual)   at   any   time.
When
  the   vehicle   is   stationary   or   moving  
v

ery   slowly,   the   gearbox   engages   first   gear  
au

tomatically. With

t

his   warning   lamp,   accompanied  
b

y   an   audible   signal   and   a   message   in   the  
m

ultifunction   screen,   indicates   a   gearbox   fault.
In
  this   case,   the   gearbox   switches   to   back-up  
m

ode   and   is   locked   in   3rd   gear.   You   may   feel  
a

  substantial   knock   when   changing   from   P
to R
  and   from   N to R.
  This   will   not   cause   any  
d

amage   to   the   gearbox.
