Operation Manual

Driving
F With the parking brake applied, press the
brake pedal then select position N.
F Start the engine.
Moving off
if you do not press the brake pedal or
if the gear selector is not in position N,
engine starting is not possible.
Never leave a child unsupervised inside
the vehicle with the engine running.
F Select position E using the gear selector.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any intervention required by the
driver.
It continuously selects the most suitable gear
for:
- optimised fuel consumption,
- the driving style,
- the profile of the road,
- the load in the vehicle.
To obtain optimum acceleration, when
overtaking another vehicle for example, press
firmly on the accelerator pedal going beyond
the point of resistance.
Automatic (EASY) mode
It is possible to change mode at any time, by
moving the gear selector from position E to
position M and the other way round.
F With your foot on the brake pedal, select
position R, E or M.
F Release the parking brake.
F Progressively release the brake pedal.
Accelerate away.
Creep function
This function makes manoeuvring the vehicle
at low speed easier (parking, traffic jams…).
After first placing the gear selector in
position E, M or R, the vehicle moves off as
soon as you take your foot off the brake
pedal, at low speed, with the engine at idle.
The creep function may be temporarily
unavailable if the clutch temperature is
too high or the gradient too steep. An
audible signal gives a warning if the
clutch temperature is too high.
Never select neutral N when the vehicle
is moving.
