moment and at a suitable engine
speed because automatic mode takes
into consideration the road surface and
the chosen driving style.
Note :
Automatic mode takes account of :
– the position and speed of pressing
the accelerator pedal to assess driving
style and select the optimum gear,
– the position and speed of pressing
the brake pedal to start engine braking
in preparation for a downshift.
If the engine is being overrevved or
underevved, the system will select the
optimal gear.
When stopped at traffic lights, with the
gear engaged, you can keep the vehi-
cle stationary by pressing the brake
pedal without changing to neutral N.
The vehicle will move off again :
– either slowly, if you release the
brake (Creeping) without accelerating
(e.g. when in a traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake
and accelerate.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever in
position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly pressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
It is recommended to shift to Manual
mode from Auto mode with most
adopted gear, to have quick accelera-
tion during overtaking.
Accelerating and overtaking
– slowly press the accelerator pedal to
accelerate gradually,
– to obtain maximum vehicle perfor
mance regardless of the mode se
lected (automatic or manual), quick
ly press the accelerator pedal be
yond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you press the
pedal will allow you to upshift accord-
ing to the vehicle’s capabilities.
Depending on the variant, if the warn-
ing message,” GEARBOX OVER-
HEAT” appears on the cluster when
driving, it means the clutch gets over-
heated and creeping gets deactivated.
To avoid getting the message,
– use parking brake to move the vehi-
cle in slope ;
– do not press the brake pedal/accel-
erator pedal simultaneously for long
time ;
– do not keep vehicle in standstill in
slope using accelerator pedal ;
If you are not doing any of above men-
tioned manoeuvers but the warning
message,”GEARBOX OVERHEAT”
appears, then contact your dealer
