Stopping the vehicle
Before switching  of f  the  engine,  you  can
 engage  position  P or N to place the
gearbox
  in   neutral.
In
 
both
 
cases,
 
apply
 
the
 
parking
 
brake
 
to

 
immobilise
 
the
 
vehicle,
 
unless
 
it
 
is
 
programmed

  to   automatic   mode.
If the lever is not in position P,
when
 
the
 
driver's
 
door
 
is
 
opened
 
or

 
approximately
 
45
 
seconds
 
after

 
the
 
ignition
 
is
 
switched
 
of
f,  
there

 
is
 
an

tion

P
;  
the
 
audible
 
signal
 
stops

 
and
 
the

  risk   damaging   the   gearbox:
-
 
if
 
you
 
press
 
the
 
accelera
-
tor
 
and
 
brake
 
pedals
 
at
 
the
 
same

  time,
-
 
if
 
you
 
force
 
the
 
lever
 
from
 
position P

to another position
when
  the   battery   is   flat.
When
 
the
 
ignition
 
is
 
on,
 
the

 
lighting
 
of
 
this
 
warning
 
lamp,

 
accompanied
 
by
 
an
 
audible

 
signal
 
and
 
a
 
message
 
in
 
the
 
multifunction

 
screen,
 
indicates
 
a
 
gear
-
box   malfunction.
In  
this
 
case,
 
the
 
gearbox
 
switches
 
to
 
back-up

 
mode
 
and
 
is
 
locked
 
in
 
3rd

may
 
feel
 
a
 
substantial
 
knock
 
when

 
changing
 
from

N

to R.  This  will  not  cause  any  damage  to  the
  gearbox.
Do
 
not
