Automatic operation
F Move the gear selector to position D.
The gearbox continuously selects the
gear that is best suited to the following
conditions:
- driving style,
- road profile,
- vehicle load.
When braking, the gearbox may change down
automatically in order to provide effective
engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelerator abruptly,
the gearbox will not engage a higher gear.
Manual operation
Position of the gear selector for manual gear
changing.
F Move the gear selector to position M.
F Push the gear selector towards the "+" sign
to change up a gear.
F Pull the gear selector towards the "-" sign
to change down a gear.
If the vehicle stops or reduces speed (for
example when approaching a stop sign), the
gearbox changes down automatically, to first
gear if the speed drops sufficiently.
In manual mode, it is not necessary to release
the accelerator during gear changes.
Gear change instructions are accepted only if
the engine speed permits it.
The SPORT and SNOW programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
For certain manoeuvres (for example
overtaking), you can obtain maximum
acceleration by pressing the accelerator pedal
hard down past the point of resistance, which
then produces an automatic change down to a
lower gear.
The gearbox operates without requiring any
intervention on your part.
