Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the acceler-

illumination of zone C in red.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-

Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed on the
instrument panel will flash and zone C
will light up in red to inform you of this
situation.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– press switch 4 (O);
– depress the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an auto -
matic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed re-
mains stored, it is no longer displayed in
zone 6 and the message “ Memorised”

Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic con -
ditions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
this will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in auto -
matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and en -
gaging D or R.
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards.
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, electronic stability
program (ESP) operational etc.: ESC)
the automatic system may change gear
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
AUt OMA tIC tRANSMISSION (2/3)
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de -
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.

When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are de -
pressing the brake pedal and pressing
unlocking button 2, the lever can be re-
leased manually. To do this, press the
button by inserting an object into the
hole 10 and simultaneously press un -
locking button 2 located on the lever.

Operating faults
– when driving , if the message
“ Check auto gearbox ” appears on
the instrument panel, this indicates
there is a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– when driving , if the message “Auto
gearbox overheating” appears on the
instrument panel, stop the vehicle to
allow the gearbox to cool down.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.

Depending on the vehicle, the message

Top up oil level ” and indicator light

it is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
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.
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.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
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.
t he 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 minimum.

Observe the indications on the battery:
– 2 naked flames and smoking forbid -
den;
– 3 eye protection required;
– 4 keep away from children;
– 5 explosive materials;
– 6 refer to the handbook;
– 7 corrosive materials.
Battery
The battery is a specific
type , please ensure it is
replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved
dealer.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BA tteR y
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status. If the level drops, the message
“Battery low start engine ” is displayed
on the instrument panel. In this case,
start the engine. Then the message
“ Battery charging ” appears on the in -
strument panel for the duration of the
charging time.
The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– after extended use of consumers
(radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.

Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use
cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow -

Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.

maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please

Puncture
Emergency spare wheel
Puncture, emergency sP are wheel (1/2)
In the event of a puncture,
depending on the vehicle,
you will have:
An emergency spare wheel or tyre in -
flation kit (refer to the information on the
following pages).
special note:
The tyre pressure monitor function
does not check the emergency spare
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the
instrument panel display). Refer to the
information on the “Tyre pressure moni-
tor” in Section 2.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it
checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the
four other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the
same dimensions as the original.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the
driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wh\
eel.
– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs.
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-
nering.
– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle
and check the tyre pressure.
