Automated gearbox
Using the push knob on this steering column switch, different modes can be selected.
– Automatic mode (A), in which clutch and gear controls are operated electronically.
See section 'Automatic gear control'.
– Automatic mode with Eco Mode switched off. See section 'Eco Mode function' in
chapter 'Driver assist systems'.
– Manual mode (M) with Eco Mode switched off, in which the electronics check each,
by the driver, intended gear change. If necessary, the selected gear is ignored to
prevent overloading of the engine and the transmission.
All important system information, such as neutral position, current gear and
manoeuvring mode is shown on the tachometer display. Clutch overload and any faults
in the system are shown on the master display. See 'Warning indicators' in chapter
'Master display'.
WARNING!
– Never leave the vehicle when the engine is running and a gear is
engaged.
– Always set the gearbox selector switch (rotary knob) to N (neutral)
before leaving the vehicle.
– Always apply the park brake before leaving the vehicle.
Leaving the vehicle with the engine running and a gear engaged can
result in the vehicle moving off without a driver. This may lead to
dangerous situations resulting in serious injury, and can damage the
vehicle.
If the driver's door of the vehicle is opened and a gear is engaged;
– an acoustic signal is audible and
– a warning is visible on the master display.

the engine has not reached operating temperature. This function is
overruled when:
