If the vehicle is stationary for a long time with the engine running, then the gearbox changes automat ically to neutral.
Stopping the engine
Before switching the engine off, you must choose:To leave the vehicle in neutral ; for that, place the leve r in position N.
To leave the vehicle with a gear engaged (1st or 2nd or Rse); for that, place the gear lever in the respective posi-tion. In this case, the vehicle cannot be moved.
In all cases it is essential to apply the parking brake.
It is possible within a limited time to re-engage a gear, even if the engine is switched off.
Before any operation in the engine compartment, check that the gearbox is in neutral and that the parking brake is applied.
Acceleration
The accelerator pedal may have an end-of-travel switch. If so, to obtain extra acceleration you can action this switch by pressing the pedal hard down.
Starting on a gradient
If starting on a gradient, accelerate gradually while releasing the handbrake.
If you have had to stop on a gradient, you are recommended no t to use the accelerator to maintain the vehicle’s position.

Remarks:When the vehicle reduces speed, for example approach- i n g a s t o p s i g n o r t r a f fi c l i g h t s , the gearbox changes down automatically to 1st gear.
In manual mode, it is not neces-sary to release the accelerator during changes of gear.
A command to change gear is accepted only if the engine speed permits this.As the engine reaches maxi-mum revs and conditions per-mit, the system will automati-cally engage a higher gear.
Re-initialisation
The Electronic Gearbox System requires a re-initialisation after one of the following events:Change of battery or discon-nection of battery.Starting the engine with an assisting battery.
A system malfunction.
To re-initialise the system:Switch on the ignition. A dash and “AUTO” will display in the instrument panel.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a "Stop & Start" system, in association with an Electronic Gearbox System; this s h u t s d o w n t h e e n g i n e d u r i n g s t o p p i n g p h a s e s ( r e d l i g h t s , t r a f fi c j a m s , t e m p o r a r y h a l t s , e t c . ) .
During these phases, your vehicle uses no fuel, emits no pollut ants and is completely silent.
The engine restarts instantly when you want to move forward ag ain.
Functioning of the "Stop & Start" system:
If you brake to stop your vehicle, the engine shuts down just before the vehicle comes to a complete halt; the green "ECO" warning lamp lights up in the instrument panel. The en gine remains shut down for as long as you keep your foot, even lightly, on the brake pedal.
