Automatic gearbox
Automatic gearbox which offers a choice
between the comfort of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by the sport and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
Two driving modes are provided:
- automatic operation for electronic control
of the gears by the gearbox, associated
with:
● a SPORT programme for a more
dynamic driving style,
● a SNOW programme to improve driving
when the grip is poor,
- manual operation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.
As a safety measure:
- position P can be disengaged only
by pressing the brake pedal,
- when a door is opened, an audible
signal is heard if the gear selector
is not in position P,
- always make sure that the gear
selector is in position P before you
leave your vehicle.
If the gearbox is in position P but the
position of the gear selector is different,
reposition the gear selector at P so that
you can start the vehicle.
