DRIVING
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the ease of fully
automatic operation or the driving
pleasure of manual gear changing.
There is a choice of two driving
modes:
- automatic
operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- manual
operation for sequen-
tial changing of the gears by the
driver.
)
Automatic mode: gear lever 1
in
position D
,
)
Manual mode: gear lever 1
in po-
sition M
. The position of the gear lever is dis-
played in the instrument panel, on
the left on the A and C multifunc-
tion screens and on the right in the
MyWay and NaviDrive multifunction
screens.
A grille associated with the gear le-
ver also allows you to see the se-
lected position.
Position P
can only be dis-
engaged if pressing the
brake pedal.
On opening a door, there is
an audible signal if the gear lever is
not in position P
.
In all circumstances, ensure that
the gear lever is in position P
be-
fore leaving your vehicle.
If P
is displayed in the instrument
panel but the position of the gear
lever is different, reposition the
gear lever on P
so that you can
start the vehicle.
Never press the brake and ac-
celerator pedals simultaneously.
Braking and acceleration should
be done only with the right foot.
Pressing both pedals simultane-
ously introduces a risk of damage
to the gearbox.

DRIVING
Automatic operation
Position of the gear lever for
automatic gear changing. The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive
mode, without requir-
ing any intervention on your part.
For certain manoeuvres (for exam-
ple overtaking), you can obtain max-
imum acceleration by pressing the
accelerator pedal down hard, which
then produces an automatic change
down to a lower gear.
When braking, the gearbox may
change down automatically in order
to provide effective engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelerator
abruptly, the gearbox will not change
up.
Temporary manual operation
when in automatic mode
)
Move the gear lever to position D
.
The gearbox constantly selects
the gear that is best suited to the
following conditions:
- driving style,
- road profi le,
- vehicle load.
At any time, operating the " +
" or " -
"
paddle allows you to exercise tem-
porary control over the gearbox. The
request to change gear will be taken
into account. You will still be in auto-
matic mode. The indicator D
remains
on in the instrument panel.
This function enables you to antici-
pate certain situations such as the
approach of a bend or the need to
overtake another vehicle.
