Gearbox System
Neutral
If the vehicle is moving,
do not select this position,
even momentarily.
Reverse gear
Engaging reverse gear :
Only engage reverse gear
when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
If the vehicle is moving at a very
low speed, if reverse gear is
requested (position R) this will be
taken into account only when the
vehicle comes to a halt.
The «foot on brake» warning lamp
may flash in the instrument panel
to remind you to brake.
If the vehicle is moving at a high
speed, if reverse gear is requested
the warning lamp “N” will flash
and your vehicle will go automati-
cally into neutral. To re-engage a
gear, you have only to return the
gear lever to position A or M.
A sound signal indicates when
reverse gear is engaged.
If parking assistance is deacti-
vated, the sound signal for reverse
gear engaged is absent.
If the lever is not in position N, the
warning lamp “N” flashes on the
rev counter.
If the brake pedal is not pressed
down, the warning lamp “Foot on
brake” flashes in the instrument
panel.
In both cases, the engine does
not start ; recommence the above
procedure.
Note : If the vehicle has been
stationary for a long time, or if you
have pressed the brake pedal a
number of times while stationary,
it will be necessary to press the
brake pedal hard down in order to
authorise the engine to start.
