AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (6/6)
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface
do not allow you to stay in auto-
matic mode (e.g. in the mountains),
we recommend that you change
to either temporary or permanent
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gear repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, wait a few seconds
before disengaging position P or N
and engage the lever in D or R to
prevent the engine stalling.
Operating faults
– When driving, if the “Check auto
gearbox” message appears on the
instrument panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– When driving, if the message
“Gearbox overheating” appears on
the instrument panel, stop the ve-
hicle to allow the gearbox to cool
down.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, please refer
to the information on “Towing” in
Section 5.
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.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
