Special circumstances
Snow mode
If you are driving on slippery
ground (snow, mud, etc.) press
switch A, and the warning light on
the instrument panel will come on.
Once these driving conditions no
longer apply, deselect this position
by pressing the switch again. The
indicator light will go out.
Switching to snow mode selects the
gearbox automatic mode (switching
to manual deselects snow mode
until automatic mode is selected
again).
Snow mode is deselected every time
the engine is switched off. It will be
necessary to select it again.
Accelerating and overtaking
You have two options:
- for gradual acceleration, slowly
depress the accelerator pedal,
- to obtain maximum vehicle
performance regardless of the
mode selected (automatic or
manual), quickly depress the
accelerator pedal beyond the
kickdown point.
The speed that you depress the
pedal will activate the kickdown
switch to obtain maximum
performance.
Parking
It is possible to park in gear (for
example, on a slope). To do this:
- with the ignition on, select a gear
with the brake pedal depressed,
- check that a gear other than N is
displayedontheinstrument
panel, then remove the ignition
key.
To disengage the gear, switch on the
ignition without starting the engine
and shift the selector lever to
neutral with the brake pedal
depressed.
Check that N is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Horn
Never leave the vehicle with the
engine running when in gear. For
safety reasons, if you have not
selected neutral or you have not
switched off the ignition or
depressed the brake pedal you will
hear an intermittent beep when you
open the door.
