Ddisappears and the gears engaged appear in succession on the
instrument panel.
If the en
gine speed is too low or
too high, the gear selected flashes for a fewseconds, then the actual gear engaged isdisplayed.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M
(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
ver
y slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically.
The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manualoperation
)Select position M for sequential
changing
of the four gears. )Push the lever towards the + sign
to change up a gear.)Pull the lever towards the - sign to changedown a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; other wise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode. This s
ymbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position Por Nto place the gearbox inneutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle. When the i
gnition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from Pto R
and from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.

wor
kshop as soon as possible.

Operating fault
If the lever is not in position P,P
when the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, a message appears in the multifunction screen. )Return the lever to position P
; the message disappears.

There is a risk of damage to thegearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the movement of the gear lever from the Pposition to another position when the battery is flat.
To r e d u c e fuel consumption when at a prolonged standstill with the enginerunning (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the Nposition and apply the parking brake.

Stop & Start The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t 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.
