DRIVING
Moving off
) Apply the parking brake.
) With your foot in the brake pedal,
select position P or N .
) Start the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, there
is an audible signal, accompanied by a
message in the screen.
) With the engine running, press the
brake pedal .
) Release the parking brake.
) Select position R , D or M ,
) Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
If position N is engaged inadvert-
ently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then engage
position D to accelerate.
When the engine is running at
idle, with the brakes released, if
position R , D or M is selected, the
vehicle moves even without the
accelerator being pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle with-
out supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
A message appears if you try to
move the gear lever from posi-
tion P to another position without
pressing the brake pedal.
Automatic operation
) Select position D for automatic
changing of the four or six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing to the style of driving, the profi le of
the road and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor pedal down fully (kick down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or maintains the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effi cient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is completely stationary.
