PROACTIVE AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
(continued)
Moving off forwards
Select position D . In the majority of
traffic conditions, you will not have
to touch your gear selector lever
again: gear changing will take place
automatically at the right time and
at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and
road contour and adjusts itself to
the particular driving style you have
chosen.
Accelerating and overtaking
Fully depress the accelerator pedal
(or even take your foot off the
accelerator and press it again as far
as it will go).
The speed of depressing the pedal
will
activate the “kickdown”
switch to obtain maximum
performance.
Special circumstances
• Snow position: If you are starting
off on ground where you are
likely to skid (snow, mud, etc.),
press switch
C . indicator light G
on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
When you have started moving,
deselect this position by pressing
switch
C again. The indicator
light will extinguish.
• In hilly or mountainous country:
If you cannot remain in 4th gear
because of the road surface and
the number of bends, we would
advise you to move the selector to
the
D3 position (by pressing
button B when the selector lever
is in D position) or even 2 (2nd
gear hold), which will prevent
gear changing to speeds higher
than the one selected. Likewise, if
position
1 is selected, the vehicle
will remain in 1st gear and good
engine braking is retained.
If you are travelling downhill for a
long way, we would advise you to
place the lever in
D3 or 2 hold
(even 1 hold) to obtain the most
efficient engine braking and to
relieve the brakes.
• In cold weather, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from
position
P or N and engaging it in
D or R to prevent the engine
stalling.
