the keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
th
is electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact

Operation
* Depending on engine.-

or a change up,
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the performance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
the

reverse gear.
the
system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
th
e gear recommendations should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. t
her
efore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.

this gearbox has two driving modes:
- a n automated mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the part of the driver,
-
a

manual mode for sequential changing of
the gears by the driver using the steering
mounted controls or the gear lever.
CVt gearbox
It includes the following controls:
- a g ear lever 1 on the centre console for
selecting the driving mode, reverse gear
and neutral or for changing gear in manual
mode, -
a
"-" steering mounted control paddle 2 for
manual downward gear changes,
-
a "+/OFF" steering mounted control
paddle


3 for manual upward gear changes.
th

e six-speed automatic gearbox offers a choice between the comfort of automatic regulation or the pleasure of manual gear changing.th
e mode can be changed at any time.

Stopping - Starting on a slope
It is essential to use the parking brake to
hold the vehicle on a slope and not the
accelerator pedal.
When starting on a slope, accelerate gradually
while releasing the parking brake.
Manual mode
F Select position +/-.
F us e the steering mounted controls or the
gear lever to change gear.
th

e gears engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel screen.
th

e gear change instructions are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it.
You can change gear without taking your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
When decelerating, the gearbox changes down
automatically.
With the vehicle stationary, first gear is
engaged.
Automated mode
F Select position D .
"D" appears in the instrument panel screen.
th

e gearbox operates in auto-active mode,
without any action on the part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most suited to
the conditions of:
-

d
riving style,
-
r

oad characteristics,
-

v
ehicle load.
to o

ptimise driving comfort and obtain the most
suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in the
pressure on the accelerator pedal.
For the best acceleration, when
overtaking another vehicle, for example,
press firmly on the accelerator going
beyond the point of resistance.

Manual gear changing
In the automated mode, you can take over
control temporarily at any time using the
steering mounted controls.
th
e use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster change down than that offered
in automated mode (arrival at a roundabout,
exit from a car park with a steep gradient,
over taking...).
th

e gearbox engages the gear requested if
the engine speed permits it.
