Gear positions for automatic gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, the system chooses the gear so that driving is optimal. The gearboxalso has a manual gearshift mode.
Gear positions in the driver display
The driver display shows the gear selector's posi- tion:
P, R, N, D or M.
In manual gearshift mode, the gear being used is also shown.
Gear positions
Park position - P
Select the P position when the car is parked or
when starting the engine. The car must be sta- tionary when the park position is selected. To be able to move the gear selector from thepark position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition position must be
II.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P
position is engaged. Apply the parking brake first when the car is parked.
WARNING
Always use the parking brake when parking on an inclined surface. Engaging a gear or the automatic transmission's P position is not suf-
ficient to hold the car stationary in all situa- tions.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
Reverse position - R
Select position R to reverse. The car must be sta-
tionary when reverse position is selected.
Neutral position - N
No gear is engaged and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake if the car is sta- tionary with the gear selector in N position.
To be able to change from the neutral position to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition position must be II.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.391
Drive position - D
D is the normal driving position. Shifting up and
down takes place automatically based on the level of acceleration and speed. The car must be stationary when changing gear from R position to
D position.
Manual gearshift mode - M
The manual gearshift mode can be selected at any time while driving. The car engine-brakeswhen the accelerator pedal is released. Select manual gearshift mode by moving the gear selector sideways from position D to the
end position at " ±". The driver display shows
which gear is engaged at the time.
• Press the gear selector forwards to "
+"
(plus) to change up one step and release it.
• Press the gear selector backwards to "
–"
(minus) to change down one step and release it.

.
The gearbox automatically shifts down if the speed decreases to a level lower than appropri-ate for the selected gear, in order to avoid jerkingand stalling. To return to automatic gear changing, press the gear selector sideways to the end position at D.
Kick-downWhen the accelerator pedal is pressed all the way to the floor (beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration) a lower gear isimmediately engaged. This is known as kick-down. If the accelerator is released from the kick-down position, the gearbox automatically changes up. Kick-down is used when maximum accelerationis needed, such as for overtaking.
Safety function
To prevent over-revving of the engine, the gear- box control program has a protective downshiftinhibitor. The gearbox does not permit downshifting/kick- down which would result in an engine speed highenough to damage the engine. Nothing happensif the driver still tries to shift down in this way athigh engine speed – the original gear remainsengaged. When kick-down is activated the car can change one or more gears at a time depending onengine speed. The car changes up when theengine reaches its maximum speed in order toprevent damage to the engine.

Manual gearbox
With a manual gearbox, the driver selects a suit- able gear manually, according to speed andpower requirements at the time.
Changing gearThe manual gearbox has six gears, the shifting pattern is imprinted on the gear lever.
Gearing pattern.
• Depress the clutch pedal fully during each gear change.
• Take your foot off the clutch pedal betweengear changes.
Reverse gear inhibitorThe reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possibilityof mistakenly attempting to engage reverse gearduring normal forward travel. •
Follow the gearing pattern printed on the gear lever and start from neutral position,
N
before moving it to R position.
• Engage reverse gear only when the car is stationary.
During parking
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when parking on a slope - leaving the car in gear is not suf-ficient to hold the car in all situations.

Gear shift indicator *
The gear shift indicator in the driver display shows the current gear during manual gearshift-ing and when it is appropriate to engage thenext gear for optimum fuel economy.
For eco-driving during manual gear changing, it is important to drive in the right gear and to changegear in good time.

Start/Stop
With the Start/Stop function, the engine switches off temporarily when the car has stop-ped e.g. at traffic lights or in a traffic queue, andthen starts again automatically when the journeyis resumed.
Start/Stop is one of several energy-saving func- tions intended to reduce fuel consumption, whichin turn helps to reduce exhaust emissions. The system makes it possible to adopt an envi- ronmentally-conscious driving style by allowingthe car to engine auto-stop when possible.

• Conditions for the Start/Stop function(p. 398)
Using the Start/Stop function The Start/Stop function temporarily switches off the engine when stationary and then restarts itautomatically when the journey is resumed.
The Start/Stop function is available when the engine is started and can be activated if certainconditions have been met. The driver display indi-cates whether the function is available, active orunavailable, see heading "Symbols in driver dis-play" below. All of the car's normal systems such as lighting, radio, etc. work normally, even when the engine isauto-stopped. However, some equipment mayhave its output temporarily reduced, e.g. the cli-mate control system's fan speed or extremelyhigh volume on the audio system.
Auto-stopThe following is required for the engine to auto-stop:
