Gear positions for automatic
gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, the system chooses
the gear so that driving is optimal. The gearbox
also has a manual gearshift mode.
Gear positions in the driver display
The driver display shows the gear selector's posi-
tion:
P, R, N, D or M.
In manual gearshift mode, the gear being used is
also shown.
Gear positions
Park position - P
Select the P position when the car is parked or
when starting the engine. The car must be sta-
tionary when the park position is selected.
To be able to move the gear selector from the
park position, the brake pedal must be depressed
and the ignition position must be II.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P
position is engaged. Apply the parking brake first
when the car is parked.
WARNING
Always use the parking brake when parking
on an inclined surface. Engaging a gear or the
automatic transmission's P position is not suf-
ficient to hold the car stationary in all situa-
tions.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
Reverse position - R
Select position R to reverse. The car must be sta-
tionary when reverse position is selected.
Neutral position - N
No gear is engaged and the engine can be
started. Apply the parking brake if the car is sta-
tionary with the gear selector in N position.
To be able to change from the neutral position to
another gear position, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the ignition position must be II.
