Automatic gearbox
Six speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfort of automatic operation or manual gear changing.Two driving modes are offered:- automatic operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox,- manual operation for sequential changing of the gears by the driver.
Gear selector
P. Park.F With your foot on the brake, turn the selector to this position for parking or starting.R. Reverse.F Turn the selector to this position.N. Neutral.F Turn the selector to this position for starting.D. Automatic operation.F Turn the selector to this position.
M. Manual operation with sequential gear changingF Selector in position D, press this button then use the steering mounted control paddles to change gear.
Steering mounted controls
The steering mounted control paddles cannot be used to select neutral or to select or come out of reverse.
When operating automatically, it remains possible to change gear manually using the steering mounted control paddles, when overtaking, for example.
Position N can be used in traffic jams or in a car wash tunnel.
F Pull the right hand "+" control paddle towards you to change up.F Pull the left hand "-" control paddle towards you to change down.
To turn the gear selector in complete safety, it is recommended that you keep your foot on the brake.

Automatic operation
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving.Never select position P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.
Creep function (moving
without using the accelerator)This function provides great flexibility in manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, …).With the engine at idle, parking brake released and position D, M or R selected, the vehicle moves as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal (even without pressing the accelerator).
As a safety measure (children on board), never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the doors closed.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any intervention on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the style of driving, the profile of the road and the load in the vehicle.For maximum acceleration, without touching the selector press the accelerator pedal down fully (kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected until the maximum engine speed is reached.On braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide effective engine braking.If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not change to a higher gear, for safety reasons.
F Select position D for automatic changing of the six gears.
You can temporarily take control of gear changes using the "+" and "-" steering mounted control paddles. The gear change instruction is acted on if the engine speed permits.This function allows you to anticipate certain situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or approaching a bend in the road.Following a few moments with no action on the control paddles, the gearbox returns to automatic operation.

In manual mode it is not necessary to release the accelerator pedal when changing gear.F With the selector in position D, press button M for sequential changing of the six gears.
M appears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
F It is possible to return to automatic operation at any time by pressing button M again.
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
Manual operation
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is displayed.When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1 automatically.
To save the brakes when descending a steep incline, use engine braking to reduce your speed (take your foot off the accelerator pedal or change down).Keeping the brake pedal pressed continuously for long periods can overheat the brakes, with the risk of damaging the braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow or stop the vehicle.
The indicator associated with the button comes on.
F Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted control paddle.
The indicator associated with the button goes off.
Depending on the configuration of the road (for example: mountain pass), it may be preferable to use manual operation.This is because automatic operation may not be best suited, not allowing the use of engine braking.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between two positions).
F Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
