Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic changing o
f   the   four   gears.
The
  gearbox   then   operates   in   auto-adaptive  
m

ode,   without   any   intervention   on   the   part  
o

f   the   driver.   It   continuously   selects   the   most  
s

uitable   gear   according   to   the   style   of   driving,  
t

he   profile   of   the   road   and   the   load   in   the  
v

ehicle.
For
  maximum   acceleration   without   touching  
t

he   selector,   press   the   accelerator   pedal   down  
f

ully   (kick   down).   The   gearbox   changes   down  
a

utomatically   or   maintains   the   gear   selected  
u

ntil   the   maximum   engine   speed   is   reached.
On
  braking,   the   gearbox   changes   down  
a

utomatically   to   provide   efficient   engine  
b

raking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox
  will   not   change   to   a   higher   gear   for  
s

afety   reasons.
If
 
the
 
ambient
 
temperature
 
is
