control temporarily at any time using the
steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster change down than that offered
in automated mode (arrival at a roundabout,
exit from a car park with a steep gradient,
over taking...).

the engine speed permits it. The gear engaged
appears.
To return to the automated mode, do one of the
following:
- press the back of the "+/OFF"
steering
mounted control 3
for approximately
2 seconds,
- move the gear lever quickly towards
position +/-
and then return it to position D
