Automatic gearbox
Selector lever 1
P: park
R: reverse
N: neutral
D: automatic mode

mode.
Operation
With the gear lever in position P or N,
switch on the ignition.
With your foot on the brake pedal, move
the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi -
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re -
leased.
You must apply the brake before
pressing the unlocking button 2 to
move out of position P.

Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In the majority of traffic conditions, you
will not have to touch the gear selector
lever again: the gear will be changed
automatically at the right time and at
the most suitable engine speed be -
cause the automatic system takes into
account the vehicle load and road con-
tour and adjusts itself to the particular
driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi -
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
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.

For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

Driving in manual modeWith selector lever 1 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 circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving on
ground where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press switch 4
and operating tell-tale 5 will come
on.
Once these special driving con -
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 4
again. Operating tell-tale light 5
goes out.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.:
to
protect the engine) the “automated
system” may change the gear automat-
ically.
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.

Parking the vehicleWhen 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.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.

Operating faults
If a vehicle with an automatic gear -
box breaks down, please refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the base of the lever, press recess 6 ,
visible on the gear lever gaiter, and the
unlocking button 2.
–
If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain -
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch 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 , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when accelerating.
In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

Present the jack horizontally, the jack
head must slide in the lower slot in the
body, as close as possible to the wheel
concerned.
Crank up the jack 1 by hand to align the
base plate (slightly inwards under the
vehicle). Place a plank of wood under
the base plate if on soft ground.
Changing a wheel
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur -
face where it will not slip (if neces -
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for au-
tomatic transmissions). Ask the pas-
sengers to leave the vehicle and to
keep away from traffic.
If you have a puncture, re -
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.

Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim,
refer to the information on “Wheel trims/
Wheels” in this Section. Undo the wheel
bolts using wheelbrace 2 . Fit it so that
you press downwards rather than pull -
ing upwards.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
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.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

Accessories
ACCESSORIES
Use of transmission/
receiving devices
(telephones, CB
equipment etc.).
Telephones and CB equipment with
integrated aerials may cause inter -
ference to the original electronic
systems fitted to the vehicle: it is ad-
visable only to use equipment with
an external aerial.
Furthermore, we remind you of
the need to comply with the legis-
lation in force concerning the use
of such equipment.
Electrical and electronic
accessories
– C o n n e c t a c c e s s o r i e s
with a maximum power of
120 Watts only.
Fire hazard.
– No work may be carried out on
the vehicle’s electrical or radio
circuits, except by approved
dealers: an incorrectly connected
system may result in damage
being caused to the electrical
equipment and/or the compo -
nents connected to it;
– if the vehicle is fitted with any
aftermarket electrical equip -
ment, make sure that the unit
is correctly protected by a fuse.
Establish the rating and position
of this fuse.
Before fitting an electrical or
electronic device (particu -
larly for transmitters/receiv-
ers: frequency bandwidth,
power level, position of the aerial
etc.), ensure that it is compatible
with your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer for this
information.
Fitting after-market
accessories
If you wish to install acces-
sories on the vehicle: con -
sult an approved dealer.
Also, to ensure the correct opera -
tion of your vehicle, and to avoid
any risk to your safety, we recom -
mend that you use only specific ac-
cessories, designed for your vehi -
cle, which are the only accessories
for which the manufacturer will pro-
vide a warranty.
If you are using an anti-theft
device, only attach it to the
brake pedal.
