Safety First Handling instructions Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
Selecting the sport program
– Move the lever to position S.
If you have selected the normal driving programme D, you will drive in a more
economical driving mode. This program shifts to a higher gear earlier and to
a lower gear later.
If you select the sport programme, S, the program is designed for a sports
mode, that is, a programme which changes up at higher engine speeds to use
the full power of the engine. This program is not recommended for use on the
highway or in the city.
Selector lever locking
The selector lever lock prevents gears from being engaged
inadvertently, which would cause the vehicle to move.
Releasing the selector lever lock
–Start the vehicle.
– Press and release the brake pedal, at the same time press the
button on the knob.
The lock is only activated when the vehicle is stopped or at a speed of less
than 5 km/h. At higher speeds, the lock is automatically released in position
N.
For rapid changes of position (e.g. from R to D) the lever will not lock. If the
lever remains in the position N more than one second then it is locked. With
the automatic lock, the lever is prevented passing from P and N to any other
gear without first pressing the brake pedal.
The selector lever must be put in the position P in order to remove the key.
