QUICKSHIFT GEARBOX (2/5)
Operation
Switch on the ignition.
The display on the instrument panel
switches on.
By default:
– automatic mode is selected (letter A
on the display),
– and neutral is engaged (letter N on
the display).
Note: if the display does not light up
when the ignition is switched on (dis-
charged battery), do not attempt to start
the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Starting
The display shows N (neutral) and A
(automatic mode).
Moving off forwards
– With your foot on the brake pedal,
push the selector lever forwards or
backwards and then release it again.
– Release the brake pedal then accel-
erate gently to move forwards.
Reverse
– With your foot on the brake pedal,
push the selector lever towards the
right and backwards, and then re-
lease it.
Reverse gear is engaged (letter R
appears on the display).
– Release the brake pedal then accel-
erate gently to move backwards.
When the vehicle is stationary, push
the selector lever towards the front to
engage a forwards gear.
Shifting to neutral
With the brake pedal depressed (indi-
cator light 4 will come on if you forget),
push the lever towards the right.
Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on,
automatic mode is selected by default
(letter A on the display).
The vehicle is controlled using the ac-
celerator and the brake.
Gears will change automatically at
the correct moment and at a suitable
engine speed because automatic mode
takes into consideration the road sur-
face and the chosen driving style.
You may change the gear selection
made by the automatic system (unless
this risks the engine being overrevved
or underrevved):
– by pushing the lever forwards or
backwards,
– or, depending on the vehicle, by
using the paddles (refer to the next
page).
