Gearbox and steering wheel
GEARBOX
5-speed - reverse gear gearbox

To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time. To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle is stationary then push the gear
lever to the right then down.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear. In order to drive as fuel
effi ciently as possible with a
manual gearbox, this indicator
lamp indicates to the driver to
change up.
The driver remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow this
indication, since the indicator lamp
comes on without taking into account
the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety factors.
The lighting of this indicator lamp
cannot be deactivated.
When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is disabled.

Daytime lights
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold, the vehicle may be equipped
with daytime lights. The dipped headlamps
come on when the vehicle is started.
Rear foglamps (amber,
2nd rotation of the ring
forwards).
Front foglamps (green,
1st rotation of the ring
forwards).
Front and rear foglamps
Rotate ring
B forwards to switch on
and rearwards to switch off. The
status is confi rmed by the lamp on the
instrument panel.
These operate with the sidelamps and
the dipped beam headlamps. Do not forget to switch them off
when they are no longer needed.
Operation of the utomatic lighting
switches off the rear foglamps, but the
front foglamps remain on.
This warning light comes on
on the instrument panel.
The instruments and controls
(instrument panel, display, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are
only lit on switching to the automatic
switching on of the lights mode or
when the lights are switched on
manually.
To switch off the front and rear
foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.
Automatic switching on of the lights
In foggy weather or in snow,
the brightness sensor can
detect suffi cient light. As a
consequence, the lights will not come
on automatically. If necessary, you
must switch on the dipped headlamps
manually.
Do not cover the brightness
sensor located on the windscreen,
behind the mirror. It is used for
the automatic switching on of the lights
and for the automatic wipers.
Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO position.
The activation of this function is
accompanied by a message on the
display.
Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards.
The deactivation of this function
is accompanied by a message on
the display.
The function is deactivated temporarily
when you use the manual lights stalk. The side lights
and dipped beam
headlamps switch
on automatically if
the light is poor, or
during operation of the windscreen
wipers. They switch off as soon as the
light becomes bright enough or the
windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime lights.
If the user does not operate any
equipment for 30 minutes, the
Economy mode engages to avoid
discharging the battery (see "Battery"
in section 7). Electrical functions are
put on standby and the battery warning
lamp fl ashes.
Sidelamp operation is not affected by
Economy mode.
