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).

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (5/6)
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.

3.9
Adjusting automatic mode
The system normally operates in auto-
matic mode but you can alter the stand-
ard settings used by the system (air
distribution, etc.). These options are
explained on the following pages.
Automatic mode is the recom-
mended mode of use
In most cases, the automatic cli-
mate control system ensures a com-
fortable temperature in the passen-
ger compartment, while maintaining
good visibility and optimising fuel
consumption.
The types of adjustments that can
be made are described in the follow-
ing pages.
Return to automatic mode as soon
as possible.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/6)

3.11
In automatic mode, depending on
the outside air conditions, the ven-
tilation may not start immediately at
maximum power but will increase
progressively until the engine tem-
perature is warm enough to heat the
passenger compartment air. This
may take from a few seconds to
several minutes.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Exit automatic mode by pressing
button 2: AUTO goes out on display 4
and AC OFF lights up.
Note: the “Clear View” function auto-
matically activates the air conditioning.
Press button 3 to return to automatic
mode.
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
Exit automatic mode by pressing but-
tons 5 and 7.
These buttons allow you to increase or
decrease ventilation speed.
Rear screen and/or door
mirror de-icing/demisting.
Press button 11: the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
This function allows electric demisting
of the rear screen and/or the electric
heated door mirrors, depending on the
vehicle.
To exit this function , press button 11
again. Demisting automatically stops
by default.

Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
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.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.

3.14
WINDOWS (1/2)

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key, remote
control or transmitter-recei-
ver inside, and never leave a child,
adult who is not self-sufficient or a
pet, even for a short while. They
may pose a risk to themselves or to
others by starting the engine or acti-
vating equipment (such as the gear
lever or electric windows). If any
part of the body becomes trapped,
reverse the direction of the window
immediately by pressing the rele-
vant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
