It is not necessary to release the accelerator
pedal
 
during   gear   changes.
When
 
braking   or   slowing   down,   the   gearbox  
c

hanges
 
down   automatically   so   that   the   vehicle  
p

icks
 
up
 
in   the   right   gear.
Under
 
full
  acceleration,   the   change   up   will

The
  gearbox   then   operates   in   auto-adaptive

ode,   without   any   intervention   on   the   part  
o

f   the   driver.   It   continuously   selects   the   most  
s

uitable   gear   according   to   the   style   of   driving,  
t

he   profile   of   the   road   and   the   load   in   the  
v

ehicle.
For
  maximum   acceleration   without   touching  
t

he   selector,   press   the   accelerator   pedal   down  
f

ully   (kick   down).   The   gearbox   changes   down  
a

utomatically   or   maintains   the   gear   selected  
u

ntil   the   maximum   engine   speed   is   reached.
On
  braking,   the   gearbox   changes   down  
a

utomatically   to   provide   efficient   engine  
b

raking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox
  will   not   change   to   a   higher   gear   for  
s

afety   reasons.
If
 
the

This symbol is displayed if a gear is   not   engaged   correctly   (selector  
b

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage   position   P or N   to   place   the   gearbox   in  
neu

In
  both   cases,   apply   the   parking   brake   to

ode   and   is   locked   in   3rd   gear.   You   may   feel  
a

  substantial   knock   when   changing   from   P
to R
  and   from   N to R.
