Automatic gearbox, electronic lever B

R: reverse gear

N: neutral

D: forward gear

P: parking, button 2

The indicator light 3 on the instrument panel indicates the selector lever position engaged 1.

With the vehicle stationary, start the vehicle. Press the brake pedal (the warning light 4 disappears from the instrument panel). Engage the desired position (R, N, D).

Note: the indicator light 4 is displayed on the instrument panel each time it is necessary to press the brake pedal to change the automatic gearbox position.

Shift the selector lever 1 one or two notches forwards or backwards to engage the desired position (R, N, D) then release the lever and it will return to its stable position.

The position engaged lights up on the instrument panel.

If certain conditions prevent shifting from one position to another, the initial position flashes on the instrument panel.

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running or the ignition on, press the button 2 to engage P position. The warning light on button 2 appears in orange once gearbox position P is engaged.

With the vehicle stationary and the engine on, press the brake pedal and, move the 1 selector lever forwards or backwards according to the position desired. The 2 button warning light switches off.

If the brake pedal is not fully pressed, the "Press brake pedal" message and the warning light 4 are displayed on the instrument panel.

Note: in position R, N or D, with the vehicle stationary or travelling at a speed under approximately 2 mph (3 km/h), when the driver opens their door or unfastens their seat belt, P position is engaged automatically without any action by the driver, without any sound signal or message on the instrument panel. The P warning light is displayed on the instrument panel and the indicator light built into the P button lights up.

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, to engage N position, shift the selector lever 1 a notch forwards or backwards according to the gear engaged.

With the vehicle stationary, the engine running and your foot on the brake pedal, move the selector lever 1 two notches backwards to engage D position.

If any of the conditions are not applied, the 4 warning light will appear on the instrument panel for approximately 15 seconds.

In the majority of driving conditions, you will no longer have to use your gear lever: the gears change "automatically", at the right time, to a suitable engine speed because the automated system takes the vehicle's load, road profile and the selected driving style into account.

Note: with the engine running and the vehicle travelling at between 0 and 5 mph (0 and 8 km/h), in N or R position, you will have to press the brake pedal in order to engage D position. This is useful during parking manoeuvres requiring a number of alternate forward and reverse movements.

When driving, always leave the lever in position D, keeping the accelerator pedal lightly depressed to ensure automatic gear changes at a lower engine speed.

Depress the accelerator pedal briskly and fully (so that it goes beyond the kickdown point).

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, shift the selector lever 1 two notches forwards to engage R position.

If the brake pedal is not pressed, a beep will sound, the R position display will flash for around five seconds on the grid shown on the instrument panel and the "Press brake pedal" message will be displayed for around 15 seconds.

Note: with the engine running and the vehicle travelling at a speed between approximately 0 mph and 5 mph (8 km/h) with N or D position engaged, the brake pedal must be pressed in order to engage R position. This is useful during parking manoeuvres requiring a number of alternate forward and reverse movements.

Paddles 5 and 6 allow you to change gears while D position is engaged.

5: change to a lower gear.

6: change to a higher gear.

The P, N and R positions cannot be accessed using the paddles.

When driving in D position, you can switch to manual driving mode using paddles 5 and 6 on the steering wheel. Two manual driving modes are available:

Note: the gearbox automatically returns to automatic mode D if the gear engaged is no longer optimal to vehicle performance or if no action has been taken on a paddle for a certain amount of time.

Note: the return to automatic mode is carried out by pressing and holding the right-hand paddle or by moving the one-touch lever 1 two notches backwards.

In all situations:

Note: depending on the display, the " + " indicator light next to the gear position suggests that you shift up a gear.

In certain driving conditions (resulting in, for example, engine protection, activation of the electronic stability control (ESC), etc.), the automatic system may change the gear automatically.

Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeuvres, a gear change may be refused by the automatic system: in this case the gear display flashes for a few seconds as a warning.

The P position is automatically engaged when:

The P warning light is displayed on the instrument panel and the indicator light built into the P button lights up.

Note: ensure that the parking brake is applied.

Refer to the maintenance document for your vehicle or consult an approved Dealer to check whether the automatic gearbox requires scheduled maintenance.

If it does not need to be serviced, there is no need to top up the oil.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible;

In the event of engine failure or an electrical fault (battery fault) affecting operation of the automatic gearbox, ensure that the vehicle is properly immobilised.
