AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued)
Accelerating and overtaking
Quickly depress the accelerator
pedal completely (until you pass
the point of resistance).
This will activate the “kickdown”
switch allowing you to
downchange to the optimum gear.
Driving in manual mode
With gear lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left: indicator
light M and the gear selected light
up on the instrument panel.
Shifting lever 1 repeatedly allows
you to change gears manually.
- To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards.
- To move up through the gears,
push the lever forwards.
Driving in town
You can stop without changing
down. The automatic gearbox will
select first to restart.
The gears selected are displayed on
indicator strip A located beneath
the rev counter.

Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.:
engine protection, operation of the
electronic stability program: E.S.P.,
etc.) the automated system may
change the gear automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect
manoeuvres, the gear change may
be refused by the system: in this
case the gear display flashes for a
few seconds as a warning.
How to drive economically
Leave the selector in position D
(drive) on the open road. Press the
accelerator pedal lightly to ensure
automatic gear changes at
comparatively low engine speeds.
