SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (1/6)
Selector lever 1
– This allows you to shift directly from first gear to reverse gear, to select
reverse gear and neutral and to
change gear in manual mode.
– It also allows you to switch between manual and automatic modes at
any time, with the engine switched
on and reverse gear engaged, by
moving the lever to the left.
Note: the selector lever automatically
returns to the middle position after use.

Starting
Moving forwards (starting in neutral)
The display indicates gears N and A.
– With the brake pedal depressed, push the selector lever forwards then
release it.
– Release the brake pedal and accel- erate gently to move forwards. Reverse gear
(vehicle stationary)
– Brake pedal depressed. Push the
selector lever towards the right and
to the rear as shown on the base
of the lever, and then release it.
Reverse gear is engaged and the
letter R appears on the display.
– Release the brake pedal: – the engine’s idle speed is suffi-
cient for parking manoeuvres;
– accelerate gently to reverse.
You may shift from reverse gear to a
forwards gear by pushing the lever for-
wards once the vehicle is stationary.
Note: when the vehicle is stationary,
you must depress the brake pedal to
engage or disengage a gear. Otherwise,
warning light 5 will come on.

Exactly like a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox, a vehicle equippe\
d
with a sequential gearbox is unable to prevent the vehicle from rolling \
on
a slope if the handbrake is not applied or the brake pedal constantly de\
-
pressed.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (3/6)
Operation in semiautomatic
mode (manual)
This mode can be activated at any time
when driving by pushing the lever to the
left. The mode is switched without shift-
ing up a gear.
You can initiate gear changes using the
selector lever.
To shift up a gear, push the selector
lever forwards; the accelerator pedal
does not have to be lifted.
To shift down a gear, push the selector
lever backwards; the accelerator pedal
does not have to be lifted. The system will not tolerate a series
of up or down changes that cause the
engine to underrev or overrev.
By pushing the lever forwards twice
you can move up two gears at a time
(except if underrevving). By pushing
the lever backwards twice you can
move down two gears at a time (unless
this causes overrevving).
When decelerating with the foot off
the pedal, the gears will automatically
drop to the low engine speed limit to
avoid stalling. First gear automatically
shifts below a certain speed limit. You
can stop the vehicle at red lights or
junctions etc. by depressing the brake
pedal; there is no need to change to
neutral (N).
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Note: neutral may only be selected
when the vehicle is being driven or is
stationary when the brake pedal is
depressed (if you forget, warning
light 5 will light up).
Push the gear selector lever to the right
to engage neutral.
If the engine speed is too high or too
low, the system will choose the opti-
mum gear.
Semiautomatic mode can be deacti-
vated and reactivated at any time when
the engine is running by pushing the
lever to the left.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (4/6)
Operation in automatic mode
Automatic mode is selected by default
every time the ignition is switched on.
The letter A appears 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 the automatic mode takes the
road surface and the chosen driving
style into consideration.
Gears may be shifted manually in this
mode. Pushing the lever forwards
or backwards shifts a gear upwards
(except if there is a risk of underrev-
ving) or downwards (except if there is a
risk of overrevving).
Note:
Automatic mode takes account of:
– the position and speed of depression of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimum
gear;
– action on the brake pedal, to com- mence engine braking in preparation
for a downshift.
You can stop the vehicle at red lights,
with the gear engaged, by depressing
the brake pedal; there is no need to
change to neutral (N).
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam);
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
The oil level in the automatic gear-
box system reservoir varies depend-
ing on use. Adding oil is strictly
forbidden (except by qualified ap-
proved network personnel).

Special circumstances
Snow mode
(depending on vehicle)
If you are driving on ground where you
are likely to skid (snow, mud, etc.),
press switch 7 and indicator light
â
on the instrument panel will come on.
Once these driving conditions no
longer apply, exit this position by
pressing switch again; the operat-
ing tell-tale goes out. Switching to snow mode selects the
gearbox automatic mode (switching to
manual deselects snow mode until au-
tomatic mode is selected again).
Snow mode is deselected every time
the engine is switched off. It will be nec-
essary to select it again.
Load position
When the vehicle is driven loaded,
press the 8
switch on the dashboard.
The indicator light
§ on the instru-
ment panel will light up.
Load mode is deselected every time
the engine is switched off. It will be nec-
essary to select it again.
Load mode may be used to equal effect
in both automatic and manual modes.
Accelerating and overtaking
– slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually;
– to obtain maximum vehicle per-
formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress the
pedal will allow you to downshift ac-
cording to the vehicle’s capabilities.
Parking
It is possible to park in gear (for exam-
ple, on a slope):
– with the ignition on, select a gear with your foot on the brake ;
– check that a gear other than N is dis- played on the instrument panel, then
remove the ignition key;
– apply the handbrake.
To disengage the gear, switch on the
ignition without starting the engine and
shift the selector lever to neutral with
the brake pedal depressed . Check
that N is displayed on the instrument
panel.

Bleep
– If you hold the vehicle on a slope for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, you will strain
the system (risk of overheating the
clutch).
In this case, an intermittent beep-
ing sound will remind you that you
should put your foot on the brake
pedal or apply the handbrake.
– Never leave the vehicle with the engine running when in gear. For
safety reasons you will hear an in-
termittent beeping sound when you
open the door if you have not shifted
into neutral or you have not switched
off the ignition or depressed the
brake pedal.
Operating faults
i
If this warning light comes on
when the vehicle is in motion , it
indicates a fault in the system. In most
cases, you may still drive the vehicle,
although it will not function perfectly.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Towing a vehicle with a sequential
gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
– switch on the ignition;
– select neutral with the brake pedal
depressed;
– check that the gearbox is in neutral (by pushing the vehicle, for exam-
ple).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed
with the ignition switched off.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/6)
To connect the compressor, open the
bonnet and connect black clamp 10
to earth 6 (refer to the information on
“Battery: troubleshooting” in Section 5).
Then connect red clamp 11 to termi-
nal 5.
Before starting the engine,
check that the handbrake is
applied and the gear lever
is in neutral or in position N
for sequential gearboxes.
With the engine running, press switch 7
to start inflating.
After a maximum of 15 minutes, stop in-
flating and read the pressure on pres-
sure gauge 9.
A pressure of at least 4.7 bar must be
reached.
Note: whilst the cylinder is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pressure
gauge 9 will briefly indicate a pressure
of up to 6 bar. Then the pressure drops.
