QUICKSHIFT GEARBOX (continued)
Special circumstances
Snow mode
When the vehicle is driven on a
surface where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press the
switch on the dashboard - the
indicator light in the instrument
panel lights up.
Once these driving conditions no
longer apply, deselect this position
by pressing the switch again. The
indicator light will go out.
Switching to snow mode selects the
gearbox automatic mode (switching
to manual deselects snow mode
until automatic mode is selected
again).
Snow mode is deselected every time
the engine is switched off. It will be
necessary to select it again.
Load position
If you are driving with the vehicle
loaded, press the switch on the
dashboard.
Load mode is deselected every time
the engine is switched off. It will be
necessary to select it again.
Load mode may be used to equal
effect in both automatic and manual
modes.

You have two options:
- slowly depress the accelerator
pedal to accelerate gradually,
- to obtain maximum vehicle
performance regardless of the
mode selected (automatic or
manual), quickly depress the
accelerator pedal beyond the
kickdown point.
The speed that you depress the
pedal will activate the kickdown
switch to obtain maximum
performance.

example, on a slope). To do this:

depressed. Check that N is
displayed on the instrument panel.
