Steering mounted controls When the system is activated, The "Cruise
control" warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel:
CRUISE CONTROL
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes
to drive".
This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic
enables the vehicle to maintain the speed
programmed by the driver, without use of the
accelerator pedal.
In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be greater
than 18 mph (30 km/h) with at least second
gear engaged on the manual gearbox. Selecting the function
- Place the ring in the

ON position. The cruise
control is selected but
is not yet active and
no speed has been
programmed. First activation/
Programming a speed
- Reach the chosen
speed by pressing the
accelerator.
- Move the control up (+) for at least one second then release it.
This programmes the reference speed. You
can release the accelerator pedal, and the
vehicle will maintain this speed.
Temporarily exceeding
of the speed
It is possible to accelerate
and drive momentarily at
a speed greater than the
programmed speed (for
example to overtake another vehicle).
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.
Deactivation
- Press the brake or clutch pedal.
The cruise control is also deactivated if the
ABS or ESP system is invoked.

Gearbox and steering wheel
ELECTRONIC GEARBOX
The five-speed electronic gearbox offers a
choice between the comfort of automated
operation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.
This gearbox provides two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver using the gear
lever.
It consists of:

1. a gear lever 1 on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear in
sequential mode,

2. a button 2 to activate or deactivate the
economy programme. Gear lever gate
All movements of the gear lever are given
from the middle position.

N : neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start, by moving the gear lever to
the right and then forwards.

R : reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, keep your foot
on the brake pedal and move the gear lever
to the right and then backwards.

M +/-: sequential mode with manual gear
changing.
Make a long push to the left on the lever to
select this mode, then:
- push towards + to change up,
- push towards - to change down. Displays in the instrument panel

N. Neutral.

R. Reverse.

is selected; it goes out when changing to
sequential mode.

E. It comes on when the economy
programme is activated; it goes off on
deactivation.

Move the lever downwards to select this
mode.

Press this button to activate or deactivate it.

Gearbox and steering wheel
Moving off

You must press the brake pedal.
Start the engine; the gearbox changes into
neutral automatically.
the gear lever stays in the position selected
before switching off the ignition.

"N" appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to
indicate that there is a difference between
the position of the gear lever and the gear
selected in the gearbox.
Select first gear (move the lever towards + )
or reverse (position R ).
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal and
then accelerate away.

"1" or "R" appears in the instrument panel
screen. It is also possible to move off in 2nd
gear on slippery surfaces.
Stopping - Starting on a slope
This gearbox is an electronic gearbox which
does not have a clutch pedal.

Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the parking brake instead; failure to
follow this procedure can overheat the
clutch and damage the gearbox .
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake. By rapidly pushing the accelerator fully
done, the vehicle moves off quickly.
Automated mode
Once you have moved off, you can switch to
automated mode by selecting position
A/M .

"AUTO" and the gear engaged
appear in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver.
It continuously selects the most appropriate
gear depending on the:
- vehicle speed,
- engine speed,
- accelerator pedal position.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you press the accelerator pedal beyond
the point of resistance, the gearbox changes
down for sharper acceleration.
