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.

QUICkSHIFT GEARBOX (5/5)
The vehicle will not start
If you cannot start the engine and if the
battery is not discharged (display lit up):
– switch on the ignition,

– push the vehicle or roll it down a suf-
ficiently steep slope. Then push the

lected.
Note: never attempt this manoeuvre in
reverse.
Towing the vehicle
Refer to the information on “Towing” in
Section 5.Operating faults
‘Check gearbox’
If, when driving, the message “Check
gearbox” and the
© warning light
appear on the instrument panel, this in-
dicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.

If you keep the vehicle on a slope for
too long without applying the brakes
or handbrake, the message “Gearbox
overheating” will appear along with the
© warning light.
Depress the brake pedal or apply the
handbrake.

senger footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in cold weather.
FThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.

towards all the air vents and
the passenger footwells.
This is the recommended position for

rear screen de-icing/
demisting
With the engine running, press
button E. The operating tell-tale comes
on.
This function permits rapid demisting/
de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing
of the door mirrors (on equipped vehi -
cles).
t o exit this function, press button E
again.
Demisting automatically stops.
air recirculation operation
(isolation of the passenger
compartment)
Turn control D towards symbol á:
air is taken from the passenger com -
partment and is recirculated, with no air
being taken from outside the vehicle.
air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter -
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment
to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
HeatinG, air COnDitiOninG (4/4)
Prolonged use of air recirculation
can lead to condensation form -
ing on the side windows and wind -
screen, and discomfort due to the
use of non-renewed air in the pas -
senger compartment.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) as soon
as the air recirculation function is
no longer required, by turning con -
trol D.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
air COnDitiOninG: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating. For vehi -
cles fitted with manual air condition -
ing, switch off the system when it is
not required.
advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and
the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in -
spection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– r eduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance. This may be caused
by the passenger compartment
filter cartridge becoming clogged.
– no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
notes
Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
t here is a risk of damage or of
fire.
