AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/4)
Special circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving on
ground where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press switch 4,
and operating tell-tale 5 will come
on.
Once these special driving con-
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 4
again. Operating tell-tale light 5
goes out.
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (eg. in the mountains), we rec-
ommend that you change to manual
mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gear repeatedly
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 posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling..

– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
select second gear manually before
starting the engine to avoid wheel-
spin when starting.
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.
Apply the handbrake.
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.
