In manual mode it is not necessary to
release the accelerator pedal when
changing gear.
F
With the selector in position D,
press button M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
M appears and the gears engaged
appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
F
It is possible to return to
automatic operation at any time
by pressing button M again.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed
and engine speed permit.
Manual operation
If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the gear selected flashes for
a few seconds, then the actual gear
engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
selects gear M1 automatically.
To save the brakes when descending
a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (take your foot off
the accelerator pedal or change down).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed
continuously for long periods can
overheat the brakes, with the risk of
damaging the braking system or
making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary,
to slow or stop the vehicle.
The indicator associated with the button comes on.
F Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted
control paddle.
The indicator associated with the button goes off.
Depending on the configuration of the
road (for example: mountain pass),
it may be preferable to use manual
operation.
This is because automatic operation
may not be best suited, not allowing the
use of engine braking.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is
not engaged correctly (gear selector
between two positions).
F Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
