SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (3/5)
Operation in semiautomatic
mode (manual)
This mode can be activated at any time
when driving by pushing the lever to the
left. The mode is switched without shift-
ing up a gear.
You can initiate gear changes using the
selector lever.
To shift up a gear, push the selector
lever forwards; the accelerator pedal
does not have to be lifted.
To shift down a gear, push the selector
lever backwards; the accelerator pedal
does not have to be lifted. The system will not tolerate a series
of up or down changes that cause the
engine to underrev or overrev.
By pushing the lever forwards twice
you can move up two gears at a time
(except if underrevving). By pushing
the lever backwards twice you can
move down two gears at a time (unless
this causes overrevving).
When decelerating with the foot off
the pedal, the gears will automatically
drop to the low engine speed limit to
avoid stalling. First gear automatically
shifts below a certain speed limit. You
can stop the vehicle at red lights or
junctions etc. by depressing the brake
pedal; there is no need to change to
neutral (N).
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam);
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Note: neutral may only be selected
when the vehicle is being driven or is
stationary when the brake pedal is
depressed (if you forget, warning
light 5 will come on) .
Push the gear selector lever to the right
to engage neutral.
If the engine speed is too high or too
low, the system will choose the opti-
mum gear.
Semiautomatic mode can be deacti-
vated and reactivated at any time when
the engine is running by pushing the
lever to the left.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (4/5)
Operation in automatic mode
Automatic mode is selected by default
every time the ignition is switched on.
The letter A appears on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the ac-
celerator and the brake. Gears will
change automatically at the correct
moment and at a suitable engine speed
because the automatic mode takes the
road surface and the chosen driving
style into consideration.
Gears may be shifted manually in this
mode. Pushing the lever forwards
or backwards shifts a gear upwards
(except if there is a risk of underrev-
ving) or downwards (except if there is a
risk of overrevving).
Note: automatic mode takes account
of:
– the position and speed of depression of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimum
gear;
– action on the brake pedal, to com- mence engine braking in preparation
for a downshift.
You can stop the vehicle at red lights,
with the gear engaged, by depressing
the brake pedal; there is no need to
change to neutral (N).
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam);
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Accelerating and overtaking
– Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually;
The oil level in the automatic gear-
box system reservoir varies depend-
ing on use. Adding oil is strictly
forbidden (except by qualified ap-
proved network personnel).
– to obtain maximum vehicle per-
formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress the
pedal will allow you to downshift ac-
cording to the vehicle’s capabilities.
Parking the vehicle
It is possible to park in gear (for exam-
ple, on a slope):
– with the ignition on, select a gear with your foot on the brake ;
– check that a gear other than N is dis- played on the instrument panel, then
remove the ignition key;
– apply the handbrake.
To disengage the gear, switch on the
ignition without starting the engine and
shift the selector lever to neutral with
the brake pedal depressed . Check
that N is displayed on the instrument
panel.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (5/5)
Load position
When the vehicle is driven loaded,
press the 6 switch on the dashboard.
The indicator light
§ on the instru-
ment panel will light up.
Load mode is deselected every time
the engine is switched off. It will be nec-
essary to select it again.
Load mode may be used to equal effect
in both automatic and manual modes.

Bleep– If you hold the vehicle on a slope for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, you will strain
the system (risk of overheating the
clutch).
In this case, an intermittent beep- ing sound will remind you that you
should put your foot on the brake
pedal or apply the handbrake.
– Never leave the vehicle with the engine running when in gear. For
safety reasons you will hear an in-
termittent beeping sound when you
open the door if you have not shifted
into neutral or you have not switched
off the ignition or depressed the
brake pedal.
Special circumstances
On a slippery surface or surface with
little grip, change to manual mode
(A/M) and select second gear before
accelerating to avoid wheelspin.
Operating faults
i
If this warning light comes on
when the vehicle is in motion , it
indicates a fault in the system. In most
cases, you may still drive the vehicle,
although it will not function perfectly.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Towing a vehicle with a sequential
gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
– switch on the ignition;
– select neutral with the brake pedal
depressed;
– check that the gearbox is in neutral (by pushing the vehicle, for exam-
ple).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed
with the ignition switched off.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING SYSTEM (2/3)
Air recirculation operation
(isolation of the passenger
compartment)
Normal operation of the heating and
ventilation system is obtained using air
from outside.
Recirculation of air allows the external
atmosphere to be isolated (driving in
polluted areas, etc.).
Press button B to switch to isolation
mode. This function also allows the de-
sired comfort level to be achieved as
quickly as possible.
This starts or stops air recirculation.
Operating tell-tale lights up when the
function is operational. In this position
the air is taken from inside the passen-
ger compartment and is recycled with-
out letting air in from outside.
Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and
problems due to the use of non-
renewed air in the passenger com-
partment.
We therefore advise you to return
to normal mode (external air) as
soon as the air recirculation function
is no longer required, by pressing
button B again.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING SYSTEM (3/3)
Adjusting the amount of air
blown into the passenger
compartment
Turn control A from 0 to 4. The passenger compartment is venti-
lated by blown air.
The blower determines how much air
enters but vehicle speed also has some
influence on this.
The further the control is positioned to
the right, the greater the amount of air
blown into the passenger compartment.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
(depending on the vehicle)
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light lit) or off (indicator light off)
using button D.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
Note: the air conditioning does not op-
erate if the exterior temperature is low
or the ventilation speed is less than 1.DA

3.8
Only the temperature and the AUTO
symbol are displayed
Functions managed in automatic mode
are not displayed.
– press button 9 to increase the tem-
perature;
– press button 10 to decrease the tem-
perature.
Note: The maximum and minimum
settings of 15°C and 27°C allow the
system to produce a minimum or maxi-
mum temperature, whatever the ambi-
ent conditions.
In automatic mode (AUTO lit on the
display), all heating and air condi-
tioning functions are controlled by
the system.
When you modify certain functions,
AUTO goes out. Only the modified
function stops being controlled by
the system.
To reach and keep the chosen comfort
level and to maintain good visibility, the
system controls:
– ventilation speed;
– air distribution;
– air recirculation management;
– air conditioning start/stop;
– the air temperature.Automatic mode
Press button 3. AUTO lights up on dis-
play 4.
In most cases, the automatic climate
control system ensures a comfortable
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment, while maintaining good visibility
and optimising fuel consumption.
This is the recommended mode of
use.
