management of the gears by the gearbox,
-
sp

It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; other wise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
Sport and snow programmes

F Press button "S" , after starting the engine.
The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic
style of driving.
S appears in the instrument panel.
Snow programme " T"
F Press button " T", after starting the engine.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery
roads.
This programme improves starting and drive
when traction is poor.

Return to automatic
operation
F At any time, press the button selected again to quit the programme engaged and
return to auto-adaptive mode.
These two special programmes supplement the
automatic operation in very specific conditions
of use.
