Parking the vehicle
On vehicles equipped with lever
1
,
position P is automatically engaged as
well as the electronic parking brake
(on vehicles equipped) when:
– the engine is stopped;
– the driver's seatbelt is unfastened
and the vehicle is stopped;
– the driver's door is opened and the
vehicle is stopped.
P is displayed on the instrument panel
and the P button warning light is on.
As position P is automatically
engaged when the engine is stopped,
it is sometimes necessary to place the
vehicle in position N for some car
washes, for example:
– with the engine on, press the P
button, move the selector lever
1
one
notch forwards or backwards then stop
the engine;
– with the engine off and the ignition
on, move the selector lever
1
a notch
forwards or backwards then switch-off
the engine.
The next time the engine is restarted,
position P is engaged automatically
according to the cases described
earlier.
The P position must only be
engaged when the vehicle
is stationary.
When facing uphill, to
remain stopped, do not
keep your foot on the
accelerator.
Risk of overheating the
automatic gearbox.
For safety reasons, do
not switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has
come to a complete
standstill.
Maintenance period
Refer to the maintenance document
for your vehicle or consult an Approved
Dealer to check whether the automatic
gearbox requires scheduled
maintenance.
If it does not need to be serviced, there
is no need to top up the oil.
Operating faults
– when driving, if the "Check
gearbox" message appears on the
instrument panel this indicates a fault.
Contact an approved dealer as soon
as possible;
– when driving, if the message
"Gearbox overheating" appears on the
instrument panel, stop as soon as
possible to let the gearbox cool down
and wait for the message to disappear;
– breakdown recovery of a vehicle
with an automatic gearbox 🡺385.
In the event of engine failure or an
electrical fault (battery fault) affecting
operation of the automatic gearbox,
ensure that the vehicle is properly
immobilised.
An impact to the
underside of the vehicle
while manoeuvring (e.g.
striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furniture) may
result in damage to the vehicle
(e.g. deformation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
approved dealer.
