Automatic operation
Reverse
When selecting reverse R with the ignition on,
the rear parking sensors are activated.
For more information, refer to the "Rear parking
sensors" section.
Creep function (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function provides great flexibility in
manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when
parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D, M or R selected, the vehicle
moves as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
F Select position D for automatic changing
of the 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 according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator 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 efficient engine
braking.
As a safety measure, if you release the
accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not
change up.
These two special programmes complete
the automatic operation, for use in particular
circumstances.
Sport and snow programmes
"S" sport programme
F Press the "S" button, once the engine has
started.
The gearbox automatically allows a more
dynamic driving style.
T snow programme
F Press the "T" button, once the engine has
started.
The gearbox adapts itself to driving on slippery
roads.
This programme helps moving off and improves
traction when grip is poor.
At any time, press the button selected
again to leave the programme engaged
and return to auto-adaptative mode.
S appears in the instrument panel.
T appears in the instrument panel.
