Automatic mode
- Move the selector to position D.
The gearbox constantly selects the gear that is best suited to the following
parameters :
- driving style,
- road profile
- vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-adaptive mode, without requiring
any intervention on your part.
For certain manœuvres (for example overtaking), you can obtain maximum
acceleration by pressing the accelerator pedal hard down, which then pro-
duces an automatic change down to a lower gear.
Observations :
When braking, the gearbox may change down automatically in order to
provide effective engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelerator abruptly, the gearbox will not engage
a higher gear.
Temporary manual operation when in automatic mode
By pulling either of the levers « + » or « - », you can exercise temporary
control over the changing of gears. The request to change gear will be
taken into account. You will still be in automatic mode. The warning lamp
D remains lit up in the instrument panel.
This function enables you to anticipate certain situations such the ap-
proach of a bend or the need to overtake another vehicle.
