Special aspects of automatic
mode
If you exceed the time limit of five seconds,
the gearbox engages mode P
; you should then
restart the procedure.

optimum per formance, taking account of the
exterior temperature, the profile of the road, the
load on the vehicle and the style of driving.
For maximum acceleration without touching the
selector, push the accelerator to the floor (kick-
down). The gearbox shifts down automatically
or holds the gear selected until the maximum
engine speed is reached.
The steering mounted controls allow the driver
to temporarily select a gear, if the vehicle
speed and engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes
place only if the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit.

Check that mode P has been engaged and that
the electric parking brake has been applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps for
the selector and the electric parking
brake control lever must be on, as well
as the ones in the instrument panel.
