(inadvertent engagement of 3
rd or 4th

Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle
is stationary with the engine at idle.
As a safety precaution and to facilitate
starting the engine:

Automatic gearbox
8 -speed automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of automatic
operation or manual gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
-

a
utomatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
-

man
ual operation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.
In automatic mode, you can still change gear
manually using the steering mounted control
paddles, when overtaking for example.

To safely operate the gear selector, it is
recommended that you keep your foot on
the brake.

Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic
changing of the six gears.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily take over control of gear
changes using the “ +” and “ -” steering mounted
controls. If the engine speed allows, the gear
change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
Self-sufficient traction (moving
without using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
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 inter vention 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 fully (kick-down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or holds the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
For better safety, the gearbox will not shift up if
you release the accelerator sharply.
Manual operation
F With the selector in position D ,
press button M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
The indicator lamp for the button goes off. In manual mode, it is not necessary
to release the accelerator pedal when
changing gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear
to another if the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit.
The indicator lamp for the button comes on.

To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this indication without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations must not be
considered as compulsory. In fact, the road
layout, the traffic density and safety remain the
deciding factors when choosing the best gear.
The driver therefore remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the indications
issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode –
as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Going into engine STOP
mode
For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
When the vehicle speed is below 2 mph
( 3 km/h) or the vehicle is stationary
(depending on engine), this indicator lamp
comes on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby automatically:
- With a manual gearbox , when you put the
gearbox into neutral and release the clutch
pedal.
-

W
ith an automatic gearbox , when you
press the brake pedal or put the gear
selector in position N .
