Automatic gearbox
Six speed automatic gearbox which offers
a choice between the comfort of automatic
operation or manual gear changing.
Two driving modes are offered:
-
a
utomatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
-

of the gears by the driver.Gear selector

Steering mounted controls
The steering mounted control paddles
cannot be used to select neutral or to
select or come out of reverse.
When operating automatically, it remains
possible to change gear manually using the
steering mounted control paddles, when
overtaking, for example. Position N can be used in traffic jams or
in a car wash tunnel.

Automatic operation
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Creep function (moving
without using the accelerator)
This function provides great flexibility in
manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when
parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D, M or R selected, the vehicle
moves


as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
As a safety measure (children on
board), never leave the vehicle with the
engine running and the doors closed.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration, without
touching the selector press the
accelerator pedal down fully (kick-
down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear, for
safety reasons. F
Sel
ect position D for automatic
changing of the six gears.
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the "+" and " -" steering mounted
control paddles. The gear change instruction is
acted on if the engine speed permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
Following a few moments with no action on
the control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.

t is possible to return to
automatic operation at any time
by pressing button M again.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed
and engine speed permit.
Manual operation
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.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
selects gear M1 automatically. To save the brakes when descending
a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (take your foot off
the accelerator pedal or change down).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed
continuously for long periods can
overheat the brakes, with the risk
of damaging the braking system or
making
it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary,
to slow or stop the vehicle.
The indicator associated with the button comes on.
F Operate the "
+" or " -" steering mounted
control paddle. The indicator associated with the button
goes
off.
Depending on the configuration of the
road (for example: mountain pass),
it may be preferable to use manual
operation.
This is because automatic operation
may not be best suited, not allowing the
use of engine braking.

Temporary manual control of
gear changes
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the " +" and " -" steering mounted
control paddles. The gear change instruction is
acted on if the engine speed permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.

laws are applied temporarily.

perate the "
+" or " -" steering mounted
control paddle. It is not necessary to release the
accelerator during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically
to allow the vehicle to accelerate in the
correct gear.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up unless the driver acts on
the steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N when driving.
Only engage reverse
R with the vehicle
stationary and your foot on the brake.

Stop & StartGoing into engine
STOP mode
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its
speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or
stationary (depending on engine); the "ECO"
indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.If your vehicle is fitted with
Stop & Start, a time counter
calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Stop & Start time counter
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other...). The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly
and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox
and the vehicle is stationary, the "ECO"
indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes
into standby automatically when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear selector in
position N .
If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox and
the vehicle's speed is below 5 mph (8
km/h),
the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N . (minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the button.

Memorising the speed
setting
This memorisation is in addition to the display
of Speed limit recognition .
The driver can choose to adapt the speed
setting to the speed limit suggested, by
pressing the memorisation button at the speed
limiter controls, with the standard cruise control
or the dynamic cruise control.
This speed setting then replaces the previous
speed setting for the speed limiter and/or
dynamic cruise control. For more information on the
Speed limiter , Cruise control or
Dynamic cruise control , refer to the
corresponding sections.
Steering mounted controls
1. Select speed limiter/cruise control mode.

Dynamic cruise control ("CRUISE")
This systems allows the vehicle's speed to
be maintained at a value set by the driver.
In addition it allows (when circumstances
permit) an inter-vehicle distance that you
have selected to be maintained between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front.
