Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft..
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle while revers-
ing (e.g.: striking a post,
raised kerb or other street
furniture) may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of the
rear axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Operating faults
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the cover at the base of the lever. Then
simultaneously;
– press the button located under cover
(using a flat-blade screwdriver or
similar tool);
– depress the brake pedal;
– press button 1.
Then shift the lever.
Special note for vehicles equipped
with continuously variable
transmissions:
Under certain driving conditions at high
speeds, the gearbox may temporarily
limit the maximum engine speed. This
is normal.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
