fers a choice between the comfort of
automatic regulation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.

three driving modes:
- a manual mode for changing of the
gears by the driver using the steer-
ing wheel controls or the gear lever,
- a "
Normal
" automatic mode for
economical control of the gears
(everyday use),
- a "
Sport
" automatic mode which
permits a more dynamic style of
driving, with improved acceleration
and optimised engine braking. Displays on the instrument

to select a position, the corresponding
indicator light or message is displayed

DRIVING
"Normal" automatic mode
Select position D .

"D" appears on the instrument panel
display.
The gearbox then operates in automatic
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
"Temporary" manual mode
In the automatic mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using
the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster changedown than
that offered in automatic mode (arrival
at a roundabout, exit from a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automatic mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF" control for at
least 2 seconds. "Sport" automatic mode
From the automatic mode, you can en-
gage the "Sport" mode.
With the vehicle moving or stationary,
push the dial
A forward.

"SPORT" appears on the instrument
panel display.
Switching off the "Sport" automatic
mode
You can return to the "Normal" auto-
matic mode at any time:
Push the dial A rearward once. Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
must engage position
P or N to place
the gearbox in neutral.
It is imperative that you apply the hand-
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
In order to remove the key from the ig-
nition, the gear lever must be in posi-
tion P .
Stopping - Starting on a hill
To assist you when starting on a hill,
your vehicle is fi tted with a system
which immobilises it briefl y (approxi-
mately 2 seconds), the time required to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal. This function is
only active when the vehicle has been
completely immobilised with your foot
on the brake pedal and on certain gra-
dients.

Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start assistance temporary
immobilisation phase.
To immobilise the vehicle on a hill for a
longer period, you must use the hand-
brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a hill, accelerate gradu-
ally while releasing the handbrake.

AUDIO EQUIPMENT and TELEMATICS
AUDIO-VIDEO AUDIO-VIDEO
What is the RDS? RDS station following Traffi c information function
Your radio automatically checks
and selects the best frequency
for the radio station to which it is
tuned (if the station broadcasts on sev-
eral transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers ap-
proximately 30 miles (50 km). The change
from one frequency to another explains
the loss of reception during a journey.
If the station to which you are listen-
ing does not have several frequencies
in the region in which you are currently
located, you can deactivate the auto-
matic frequency following.
Radio, RDS, AF, REG, TP, PTY
The Radio Data System (RDS)
function on the FM waveband
permits:
-
tuning to the same station while trav-
elling through different regions (if the
transmitters of this station cover the
area through which you are travelling),
- temporary tuning to traffi c informa- tion announcements,
- access to the displaying of the name of the station, etc...
Most FM stations use the RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible
data in addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
temporary tuning to traffi c information
announcements or automatic station
following.
The RDS allows you to continue listen-
ing to the same station by means of the
frequency following. However, in certain
conditions, this RDS frequency follow-
ing cannot be provided throughout the
country. Radio stations do not cover the
whole country, which explains the loss of
reception of the station during a journey.
The Traffic Program (TP) func-
tion permits automatic and
temporary switching to an FM
station broadcasting traffi c infor-
mation.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the traffi c information has ended,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were lis-
tening to initially.
Regional following mode Some stations are organised in
a network.
In different regions, they broad-
cast different or shared programmes de-
pending on the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibility that you will be listening to a different
programme. Programme types
Some stations offer the option
of listening to a themed type of
programme as a priority, select-
ed from the list available below:
NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFOS, SPORT,
EDUCATE, DRAMA, CULTURE, SCI-
ENCE, VARIED, POP M, ROCK M, EASY
M, LIGHT M, CLASSICS, OTHER M,

CIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN, TRAVEL,
