Selecting reverse gear
Vehicles with manual gearbox: follow
the grid drawn on knob 1, and depend -
ing on the vehicle, lift ring against the
gear lever knob to select reverse.
Vehicle with automatic gearbox: refer
to the information on the “Automatic
gearbox” in Section 2. The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected with
the ignition on.

t
o release:
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 3
and then lower the lever to the floor.
t o apply:
Pull the lever 2 upwards and make sure
the vehicle is immobilised.
When stationary and de -
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand -
brake at least two extra notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox
or position P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic transmission.
Make sure that the hand -
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over -
heating may occur.

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.

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.

Depending on the vehicle, remove the
central partition in the storage compart-
ment to access the inflation kit.
Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (the
cap must not be removed from the
bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its base 3.
w ith the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel
concerned and screw inflation
adapter 6 onto the valve;
– connect adapter 8 to the accessories
socket on the dashboard of the vehi-
cle;
– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (check
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver’s door);
– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 4);
n ote: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pres -
sure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a
pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure
will drop.

2– adjust the pressure: to increase
it, continue inflating with the kit, to
reduce it, turn button 7 located on
the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located under -
neath the luggage compartment carpet.
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
