AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/4)
Driving in manual mode
When driving in position D you can
switch to manual driving mode using
paddles 5 and 6 on the steering wheel.
Depending on the vehicle, two manual
driving modes are available:
– a “temporary” manual mode which
can be used to force a gear change
by a brief press on one of the pad-
dles. Driving mode D and the gear
engaged will appear on the instru-
ment panel.
Note: the gearbox returns to auto-
matic mode D automatically if the
gear engaged is not optimal or if the
paddles have not been used for a
certain length of time.
– a permanent manual mode ac-
tivated by pressing and holding
either of the paddles. Driving mode
M and the gear engaged will appear
on the 7 display on the instrument
panel.
Driving in automatic mode
Put lever 1 into position D.
In most road conditions you will en-
counter, you will not need to touch your
lever again: the gears will change au-
tomatically at the right time and at the
most suitable engine speed because
the automatic system takes into ac-
count the vehicle load and road contour
and adjusts itself to the particular driv-
ing style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
Note: return to automatic mode by
pressing and holding the right-hand
paddle. Automatic mode D is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
In all situations:
– to move down through the gears,
press the left-hand paddle;
– to move up through the gears, press
the right-hand paddle.
Note: depending on the display, the +
and - or
and indicators
will suggest moving up or down a gear.
