AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued)
Special circumstances
- Snow position: if you are driving
on ground where you are likely to
skid (snow, mud, etc.), press
switch 5. Indicator light 6 will
come on.
Once these driving conditions have
passed, press switch 5 to deselect
the position; the operating
indicator light 6 will go out.
- If the bends and hills on the road
do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in the
mountains), we recommend that
you change to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic
gearbox changing gears
successively when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long
descents.
- In cold weather, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from
position P or N and engaging it in
D or R to prevent the engine
stalling.
- Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: onaslipperysurfaceor
surface with a low level of
adhesion, change to manual mode
and select second gear (or even
third) before starting the engine to
avoid wheelspin when starting.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stationary,
keeping your foot on the brake
pedal, move the lever to position P
(park): the gearbox is in neutral and
the drive wheels are mechanically
locked by the transmission.
Engage the hand brake.
