AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/3)
Selector lever 1
Display 3 on the instrument panel
shows the mode and gear selected.
P: park
R: reverse
N: neutral
D: automatic mode
4: zone displaying gearbox mode or
gear engaged in manual mode.
OperationWith 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-
leased.
You must apply the brake before
pressing the unlocking button 2 to
move out of position P.
Driving in automatic modeMove 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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
– If 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.
– In 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.
– Vehicles 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.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.
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 when you are pressing the
brake pedal, the lever can be released
manually. To do this, unclip the base of
the lever, and press recess 7 and the
unlocking button 2 simultaneously.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
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.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
