Boîte automatique (XEF - Alpine)
Special circumstances
If the bends and road surface do not
allow you to stay in automatic mode
(e.g. in the mountains), we recommend
that you change to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gearbox
from changing gear repeatedly when
climbing, and permit engine braking on
long descents.
Maintenance period
Refer to the maintenance document
for your vehicle or consult an Approved
Dealer to check whether the automatic
gearbox requires scheduled mainte-
nance.
If it does not need to be serviced, there
is no need to top up the oil.
Operating faults
– when driving, if the message
“Check auto gearbox” appears on
the instrument panel, it indicates a
failure.
Immobilise the vehicle using the
electronic parking brake.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving, if the message
“Gearbox overheating” appears on
the instrument panel, stop as soon
as possible to let the gearbox cool
down and wait for the message to
disappear;
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (7/7)
To select reverse gear
With the vehicle stationary, engine run-
ning and in position (P), (N), (M) or (D),
press the brake pedal and briefly press
the R switch (the R control integrated
warning light appears in white and R
appears on the instrument panel).
The reversing lights will come on as
soon as the reverse gear is selected
(ignition on) and, depending on the ve-
hicle, the reversing camera will be acti-
vated (refer to “Rear View Camera” in
Section 2).
If the brake pedal is not depressed,
the R warning light flashes for approxi-
mately 5 seconds and the 3 warning
light remains displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
Note: with the engine running and
the vehicle travelling between 0 and
6.2 mph (0 and 10 km/h), in position (N)
or (D), it is not necessary to depress
the brake pedal to engage position (R).
This is useful during parking manoeu-
vres requiring a number of alternate for-
ward and reverse movements.
