Deactivating automatic operation
In some situations, such as very cold weather
or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be
necessary to deactivate automatic operation of
the system.

Deactivation of the automatic functions
is confirmed by illumination of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
F
R
elease the control lever and the brake
pedal. From this point, the parking brake can only
be applied and released manually using the
control lever.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel going off.
Emergency braking
The emergency braking should only be
used in an exceptional situation.
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc.), a continuous
pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
Braking takes place while the control lever is
being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
is released.
The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed in the instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.

F
w
ith your foot on the brake pedal, push the
selector for ward or rear ward and release to
confirm N and release the electric parking
brake manually,
F
s
witch off the ignition.
If you exceed the period of five seconds, the
gearbox goes into P mode; you must then start
the procedure again from the beginning.
Special aspects of automatic
mode
The gearbox selects the gear that offers
optimum per formance, taking account of the
ambient temperature, the profile of the road,
the load on the vehicle and the style of driving.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator fully down
(kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
The steering mounted controls allow the driver
to temporarily select a gear, if the road and
engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes
place only if the if the road speed and engine
speed permit.
If the engine speed is too high or too low, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the gear actually engaged is displayed.
With N engaged, opening the driver's
door results in an audible signal.
Closing the driver's door stops the
signal.

In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), it is recommended that
the engine be allowed to run for a few
minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the engine and gearbox.
Stopping the vehicle
Whatever the state of the gearbox when the
ignition is switched off, P mode is engaged
automatically, with the exception of N, in which
case P
mode will be engaged after a delay of
5 seconds (allowing the change to free-wheel).
Check that P mode has been engaged and
that the electric parking brake was applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
