If one of the conditions is not applied, the current position flashes for around 5 seconds and the message “Press brake pedal” is displayed on the instrument panel for approximately 5 seconds.

In most traffic conditions, you will not have to touch the gear lever.

Note: with the engine running and the vehicle travelling at between 0 and 5 mph (0 and 8 km/h), in position N or R, it is necessary to depress the brake pedal to engage position D.

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

If the brake pedal is not depressed, a beep will sound, the display of the current position flashes for around 5 seconds in the grid shown on the instrument panel, and a message “Press brake pedal” is displayed for around 5 seconds.

Parking the vehicle

Position P is engaged automatically and, if fitted, the electronic parking brake is applied when:

- the engine is stopped;

- the driver’s seatbelt is unbuckled and the vehicle is stopped;

and

- the driver’s door is opened and the vehicle is stopped.

P is displayed on the instrument panel.

As position P is automatically engaged when the engine is stopped, in some situations (e.g. when using some car washes) it may be necessary to engage position N:

- With the engine running, press the P button, move the selector lever 1 one notch upwards or downwards to change to position N, then stop the engine;

- with the engine off and the ignition on, move the selector lever 1 one notch upwards or downwards then switch off the ignition.

The next time the engine is restarted, position P is engaged automatically according to the cases described earlier.

Operating faults

In the event of an engine fault or an electrical fault (battery fault, etc.), make sure that the vehicle is properly immobilised.

P position must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary.

For safety reasons, do not switch off the ignition before the vehicle has come to a complete standstill.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.
