Moving the vehicle
Every time the vehicle is started, the gearbox starts in “Auto easy exit”
mode unless it was in “Automatic” mode when the engine was turned off.
In this case, it remains in “Automatic” mode the next time the engine is
started.
Activation is signalled by the word “auto” and an arrow in the gearbox
display.
In this mode, the system will automatically UP-shift and DOWN-shift
according to vehicle speed, engine revs and the torque/power request of
the driver.
To exit the “Auto easy exit” mode and go to “Manual” mode, operate
the
UP
or
DOWN
paddle (while the vehicle is moving) or press the
AUTO
button on the centre console.
If the “Automatic” gearbox mode is then requested by pressing the AUTO
button, the system will apply all the characteristics of the “Automatic”
gearbox mode.
Push start
Warning
Push starting is not allowed.
Safe driving
For safe driving, it is essential that the driver be aware of the best driving
techniques suited to various circumstances. Always try to prevent
dangerous situations by driving with caution.
Before you drive
●
Adjust the position of the seat, steering wheel and rear-view mirrors,
in order to obtain the best driving position.
●
Adjust the backrest so that your chest is upright and your head is as
close to the headrest as possible.
●
Ensure that nothing (e.g. mat covers, etc.) is blocking the pedals.
●
Check that the lights and headlights are working properly.
●
Ensure that any child restraint systems (e.g. child seats, cradles etc.)
are properly fixed on the passenger seat.
●
Your reflexes are quicker if you eat lightly before driving: avoid
heavy meals before a trip.
●
Do not drink alcoholic drinks before and during the journey.
At regular intervals, check the following:
●
Tyre pressure and condition.

Engine oil level.
●
Engine coolant level and system condition.

Steering fluid level.

Windscreen washer fluid level.
While travelling
●
Caution is the number one rule for safe driving which also means
you should take other people’s behaviour into consideration.

in and always respect the speed limit.

Always make sure that the driver and passengers have their seat
belts fastened and that all children are travelling in suitable child
seats.

Good personal physical conditions ensure you can drive long
distances safely.
