–

Irrespective
of the mode selected, do not start the engine if one or more wheels are not in contact with the ground
(eg. when the vehicle is on a jack or roller bench).
–

Do
not turn the mode selector when cornering, reversing or if the wheels are spinning excessively. Only select the
“2WD”, “AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a str\
aight line.
–

Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
–


“4WD
Lock” mode is reserved solely for use off-road. The use of this mode in any other conditions may adversely affect the
vehicle’s manoeuvrability and damage its mechanical components.
–

Always
ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting tyres
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels may have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.

Driving in automatic modeMove lever 1 to position D.
In the majority of traffic conditions, you
will not have to touch the gear selector
lever again: the gear will be changed
automatically at the right time and at
the most suitable engine speed be-
cause the automatic system takes into
account the vehicle load and road con-
tour and adjusts itself to the particular
driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi-
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

– If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain-
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.

n cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.

V
ehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel-
spin when accelerating.Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
Operating faults
If a vehicle with an automatic gear-
box breaks down, please refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P when you are pressing the
brake pedal, the lever can be released
manually. To do this, unclip the base of
the lever, and press recess

simultaneously.
In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

TOWING: breakdown (2/3)
4-wheel drive vehicles (4WD)
Whichever type of gearbox is fitted, a
4WD vehicle must never be towed if
any of its 4 wheels are touching the
ground.
Off-road recovery
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow
or mud, attach a flexible towing device
(towing belt or other device specially
designed for this purpose) to the front
or rear towing point (refer to the in-
formation on “Front and rear towing
points” on the previous page).
For off-road recovery, it
is forbidden to use a rigid
bar to tow a vehicle that is
stuck. Risk of mechanical
damage.You must never tow a 4-wheel drive
vehicle, irrespective of the mode se-
lected, if one of the 4 wheels is in
contact with the ground (except for
off-road recovery). Risk of mechani-
cal damage.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for information on how to fit
and operate the equipment.
If a 4x4 (4WD ) vehicle becomes
stuck, it should only be towed for a
short distance. Risk of mechanical
damage.
