AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (continued)
2.42
Special circumstances
- 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
transmission from changing gears
repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long
descents.
- To prevent the engine stalling in
cold weather, start the engine and
wait a few seconds before shifting
the selector lever from position P
or N and engaging it in D or R.
- Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
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.
When starting, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
depressing the brake pedal, the lever
can be released manually. To do this,
unclip the upper section of the
gaiter 3.
Press the button 4 located underneath
the gaiter and at the same time press
the unlocking button 2 to move the
lever from position P.
