Owner’s Manual

Drive

The gearbox always selects the gear best adapted to the following param-

eters:

- style of driving,

- route proﬁle,

- vehicle load.

In this way the gearbox operates in autoadaptive mode, without the need

for your intervention.

For certain manoeuvres (for example overtaking), it is possible to obtain

maximum acceleration by pressing hard down on the accelerator pedal,

which may trigger automatic changedown to a lower gear.

Note

During braking, the gearbox may kick down automatically in order to offer

an effective engine brake.

If you rapidly lift your foot off the accelerator, the gearbox will guard your

safety by not changing up again.

Sequential forward drive

Selector position for manual gear changing.

- Selector at M.

- Push the selector towards the sign “+” to change up a gear.

- Pull the selector towards the sign “-” to change down a gear.

Note: Passage from one gear to another is only possible when vehicle

speed and engine speed permit.

The Sport and Snow programmes are not operative in sequential mode.

The change from position D (drive in automatic mode) to position M (drive

in sequential mode) or vice versa may be effected at any time.
