Driving
When the engine is running at idle with
the brakes released, if position R, D or M
is selected, the vehicle moves off even
without the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake and
select position P.
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
When a position is selected in the grid with the
gear selector, the corresponding indicator lamp
lights up on the instrument panel.

Drive (automatic operation)
► Selecting position M enables sequential
shifting between the six gears.
► To shift up/down through the gears, push the
control backwards/forwards.
The gearbox only changes gear if the vehicle
speed and engine speed conditions allow;
otherwise, the rules for automatic operation are
temporarily applied.
D disappears, and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel.
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.
It is possible to change from position D to
position M at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not
engaged correctly (gear selector between
two positions).

Instruction not accepted during manual
operation
► 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 driving style, the road
profile and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching the
selector, press the accelerator fully down (kick-
down). The gearbox changes down automatically
or holds the gear selected until the maximum
engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety
reasons.
Starting the vehicle
► With your foot on the brake pedal,
select position P or N.
► Start the engine.
If the conditions are not met, you will hear an
audible signal, accompanied by the display of a
message.
► With the engine running, depress the brake
pedal.
► Release the parking brake, unless it is set to
automatic mode.
► Select position R, D or M.
► Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
If position N is selected inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to return
to idle, then select position D to accelerate.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
