Operating faults
– When  driving, if the “CHECK 
GEARBOX” message and the 
© warning light appear on the 
instrument panel, this indicates a 
fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as 
soon as possible.
– When  driving,  if the message 
“GEARBOX OVERHEATING” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, drive 
at a moderate speed and avoid leav-
ing the gearstick in the  D (or R) po-
sition, where traffic conditions allow: 
always return to N while the vehicle 
is stationary.
Contact your approved Dealer as 
soon as possible.
– If a vehicle with an automatic  gearbox breaks down, refer to the 
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/3)
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.Special circumstances
–  If the bends and road surface  do 
not allow you to stay in automatic 
mode (eg. in the mountains), we rec-
ommend that you change to manual 
mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gear 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..
