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

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

tral.
In
  both   cases,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

Operating fault
and a message in the multifunction screen, indicates   a   gearbox   fault.
In
  this   case,   the   gearbox   switches   to   back-up  
m

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

  substantial   knock   when   changing   from   P
to R
  and   from   N to R.
  This   will   not   cause   any  
d
