AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (5/7)
Special cases
In certain driving modes (e.g. protect-
ing the engine), a gear change may be
performed automatically if there is a
risk of over-revving or approaching un-
der-revving. The manual mode remains
activated. Similarly, to avoid making the
“wrong move”, a gear change may be
refused by the gearbox. In this case, the
display for the engaged gear flashes for
a few seconds to warn you.
Multiple downshifting
Depending on the vehicle and the if the
“Sport” or “Track” driving mode is ac-
tivated (refer to the “Choice of driving
mode” in Section 2), it may be possible
to quickly downshift several gears.
With the gearbox in position (M) and the
brakes on, press and hold the left-hand
paddle as many times as is necessary
for the gears to automatically descend
to the optimal gear.

The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Note: Engine running, vehicle moving,
position (M) engaged, it is possible to
change to automatic driving mode (D)
by a single press on the D switch (the
D control integrated indicator light ap-
pears in white and D is displayed on the
instrument panel).
In “Track” mode, the gears will
switch to manual mode (M) perma-
nently.
To switch to automatic driving mode
(D), select mode “Normal” or “Sport”
(see “Choice of driving mode” in
Section 2).
