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.

If P is displayed in the instrument panel
while the selector is in another position,
place the selector in position P to allow
the engine to be started.
If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle,
then select position D to accelerate.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.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
control paddles. 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.
If position R
, D or M is selected when the
engine is running at idle, with the brakes
released, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children in the vehicle
unsupervised.
As a

safety measure, never leave the
vehicle without taking your key or remote
control with you, even for a

short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P . 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.
Creep function (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 (with children on
board), never leave the vehicle with the
engine running and the doors closed.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle.A point of resistance may be noticed when
moving to position P .
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45

off, an audible signal sounds and
a


message appears.

audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
On a
steep slope with a loaded vehicle,
press the brake pedal , select position P,
apply the parking brake then release the
brake pedal.
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. If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the selected gear flashes for a

few
seconds, then the gear actually activated
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 (change down to
a

lower gear).
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.
Depending on the road configuration (e.g.
mountainous road), manual operation is
preferable.
This is because automatic operation may
not be best suited, not allowing the use of
engine braking.

136
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.
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.
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
