AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
Parking the vehicle
When 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.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the base of the lever, press recess 7,
visible on the gear lever gaiter, and the
unlocking button on the lever.
Operating faults
– when driving, if the ‘check gearbox’
message appears on the instrument
panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving, if the message “gear-
box overheating” appears on the in-
strument panel, avoid leaving the
lever in position D (or R) where traf-
fic conditions allow: always return to
position N when stationary.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– 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.
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.
