Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your 
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally 
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons 
while out of range of the vehicle, due to 
the risk of rendering the remote control 
inoperative. It would then be necessary to 
reset it.
The remote control does not work
  when the 
key is in the ignition switch, even when the 
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle 
immobiliser, as this might result in 
malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch, 
remember to remove the key and turn the 
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make 
it more difficult for the emergency services 
to enter the passenger compartment in an 
emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from 
the ignition or take the electronic key with you 
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short 
time.

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.
The indicator lamp for the button comes on.
►
 
Operate the "
 +" or "-" steering mounted 
controls. 
M appears and the engaged gears are 
shown in succession on the instrument 
panel.
► You can revert to automatic operation at any 
time by pressing button  M again.
The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
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).
Check that mode
  P has been engaged and that 
the electric parking brake has been applied 
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps in the 
selector and the electric parking brake control 
lever must be on, as well as those on the 
instrument panel.
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 
seconds after the ignition is switched off,
