One-touch selector

The position engaged lights up on the instrument panel.
If certain conditions prevent shifting from one position to another, the current position flashes on the instrument panel.

To disengage position P

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, press the brake pedal and move the selector lever A or B upwards or downwards to engage the desired position.
If the brake pedal is not fully pressed, the "Press brake pedal" message and the warning light are displayed on the instrument panel.

To engage position P

With the vehicle stationary, the engine on or the ignition on and the brake pedal pressed, press button 2 to engage P position.
Tip
In some cases (e.g. parking on a slope), with the brake pedal pressed, apply the parking brake PARKING BRAKE before engaging P position.
WARNING
Check that the P warning light on the instrument panel is displayed before leaving the vehicle.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the vehicle

To engage neutral

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, to engage N position it is necessary to press the brake pedal before shifting the selector lever A or B one notch upwards or downwards.

Driving in automatic mode

With the vehicle stationary, the engine on and the brake pedal pressed, shift the selector lever A or B two notches downwards to engage D position.
If one of the conditions is not met, the current position flashes for approximately five seconds and the "Press brake pedal" message is displayed on the instrument panel for approximately five seconds.
In most traffic conditions, you will not have to touch the gear lever.
Note: with the engine on and the vehicle moving between approximately 0 and 5 mph (8 km/h), in N or R position, the brake pedal must be pressed to engage D position.

Forward gear with regenerative braking

(depending on the vehicle)
With the selector lever B in D position, push the lever downwards to activate regenerative braking. To deactivate the function, push the lever downwards or change the gear.

To select reverse gear

With the vehicle stationary and the engine on, shift the selector lever A or B two notches upwards to engage R position.
If the brake pedal is not pressed, a beep will sound, the display of the current position flashes for approximately five seconds in the grid shown on the instrument panel and the "Press brake pedal" message is displayed for approximately five seconds.
Note: with the engine running and the vehicle moving at between approximately 0 and 5 mph (8 km/h) in N or D position, you must press the brake pedal in order to engage R position.

Parking the vehicle

P position is automatically engaged on equipped vehicles when:
  • the engine is stopped;
  • the driver's seatbelt is unfastened and the vehicle is stationary;
and
  • the driver's door is opened and the vehicle is stationary.
P is displayed on the instrument panel.
As P position is automatically engaged when the engine is stopped, it is sometimes necessary to engage N position when visiting certain locations, for example a car wash:
  • with the engine running, press the P button, shift the selector lever A or B a notch upwards or downwards to shift to N position, then stop the engine;
  • with the engine stopped and the ignition on, shift the selector lever A or B a notch upwards or downwards then switch off the ignition.
The next time the engine is restarted, P position is engaged automatically according to the cases described earlier.
WARNING
For safety reasons, do not switch off the ignition before the vehicle has come to a complete standstill.

Operating faults

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