GEAR LEVER
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.

2.8
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
Variable power-assisted
steering
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) while
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Handbrake
To release:
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 1
and then lower the lever to the floor.
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
HANDBRAKE/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
21
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

When stationary and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox
or position P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic transmission.

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 lea-
ving 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..
