Driving
6This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or
approaching a bend in the road.
After a few seconds with no inputs via the control
paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic
operation.
Creeping (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
When the engine is at idle, with the parking
brake released and gear position D, M or R
selected, the vehicle begins to creep forward
as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal
(even without pressing the accelerator).
As a safety precaution, never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the
doors closed.
Manual operation
► With the selector in position D , press
button M to enable 6-speed sequential
gear changing.

In manual mode, there is no need to
release the accelerator pedal while
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 engaged is
shown.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear
M1.
To preserve the brakes while descending a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (change down or select 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 may be preferable.
Automatic operation may not always be
suitable, and does not enable engine braking.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between
two positions).
►

Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode
(with electric parking brake).
