Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on, automatic mode is selected by default (letter A on the display).
The vehicle is controlled using the ac- celerator and the brake.
Gears will change automatically at the correct moment and at a suitable engine speed because automatic mode takes into consideration the road sur- face and the chosen driving style.
You may modify the gear selected auto- matically by moving the lever forwards or backwards (except if there is a risk of under- or overrevving).
The oil level in the automatic gear- box system reservoir varies ac- cording to use. Adding oil is strictly forbidden (except by qualified ap-
proved network personnel).
QUICkSHIFT GEARBOX (3/5)
If the engine is being overrevved or underevved, the system will select the optimal gear.
Changing mode
You can change mode at any time by pushing the lever to the left. This switches mode without changing gear.
Driving in manual mode
Using the selector lever
Pushing the lever repeatedly allows you to change gears manually.
– to change up a gear: push the lever
forwards
– to change down a gear: push the lever backwards
– to change to neutral: with the brake
pedal depressed (indicator light 4 will come on if you forget), push the lever towards the right
Note: when the vehicle is stationary (braking, red light, etc.), the system au- tomatically switches to the most suita- ble gear.
Accelerating and overtaking
To obtain maximum vehicle perform- ance, in automatic or manual mode se- lected, quickly depress the accelerator pedal beyond the kickdown point.
This will activate the kickdown func- tion allowing you to change down to the most suitable gear.
Audible warning
If you leave the vehicle with the engine
running when in gear, an audible warn- ing will sound. You must switch to neu- tral before leaving the vehicle.

Variant 1Variant 2Interpretation of messages
25302Message 1“Oil level OK”
The message “oil” is
displayed, alternating
with dashes
No displayMessage 2“Adjust oil level”
If the level is at minimum: depending on the vehicle, the message “top up oil level” or “oil” appears on the display, al-
ternating with dashes and the © warning light on the instrument panel comes on: message 2.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as possible.
Engine oil level: general information
The display only warns the driver if the oil level is at the minimum level. It does not inform the driver that the oil level has exceeded the maximum level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
Minimum oil level warning on instru- ment panel
When the ignition is switched on, if the level is above the minimum level, the message “oil ok” or “oil level correct” is shown on the display for approximately 15 seconds.For more information, press the trip computer readout button: the message
“oil level” will be shown on the display with squares which are replaced by dashes when the level drops.
To advance to trip computer reading, press the button again.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is normal to top up the level be- tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the running in period.
Check the oil level at regular inter- vals and before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve- hicle on level ground, after the engine has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read the exact oil level and make sure that the maximum level has not been exceeded (risk of engine damage). Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only alerts the driver when the oil level is at its min- imum.

Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.
Reading the level using the dipstick
– take out the dipstick;
– wipe the dipstick using a clean, lint
- free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go;
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall

below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been carried out, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
The engine may be hot when carrying out opera- tions in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Maximum engine oil level
exceeded.
The oil level should only be read with the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum level, do not start your vehicle and contact an approved Dealer.
Under no circumstances should maximum filling lev-
el B be exceeded: this could damage the engine and the catalytic converter.

Engine oil level: topping up/filling
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should be cold (for instance, before the engine is started up for the first time in the day).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle.–
Unscrew cap
1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca
- pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on the dipstick 2 is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend- ing on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick
2 (as described above).
Once the operation has been com- pleted, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go and that the cap is completely screwed in.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (2/2)
Never run the engine in an enclosed space as exhaust gases are poisonous.
Engine oil change: if you are changing the oil when the engine is hot, be careful not to scald yourself if the oil overflows.
Filling: take care when topping up the oil that no oil drips onto engine components - risk of fire. Remember to refit the cap securely as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes onto hot engine components.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
The engine may be hot when carrying out opera- tions in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.
