the position and speed of depression of the accelerator pedal to assess driving style and select the optimum gear Pushing the lever forwards or backwards shifts a gear upwards (except if there is a risk of underrevving) or downwards (except if there is a risk of overrevving). Gears may be shifted manually in this mode. Gears will change automatically at the correct moment and at a suitable engine speed because the automatic mode takes the road surface and the chosen driving style into consideration. The vehicle is controlled using the accelerator and the brake. Semiautomatic mode can be deactivated and reactivated at any time when the engine is running by pushing the lever to the left.Īutomatic mode is selected by default every time the ignition is switched on. If the engine speed is too high or too low, the system will choose the optimum gear. Push the gear selector lever to the right to engage neutral. Note: neutral may only be selected when the vehicle is being driven or is stationary when the brake pedal is depressed (if you forget, warning light 5 will come on). or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate. either slowly, if you release the brake without accelerating (e.g. by depressing the brake pedal there is no need to change to neutral (N). You can stop the vehicle at red lights or junctions etc. First gear automatically shifts below a certain speed limit. When decelerating with the foot off the pedal, the gears will automatically drop to the low engine speed limit to avoid stalling. By pushing the lever backwards twice you can move down two gears at a time (unless this causes overrevving). The system will not tolerate a series of up or down changes that cause the engine to underrev or overrev.īy pushing the lever forwards twice you can move up two gears at a time (except if underrevving). To shift down a gear, push the selector lever backwards the accelerator pedal does not have to be lifted. To shift up a gear, push the selector lever forwards the accelerator pedal does not have to be lifted. You can initiate gear changes using the selector lever. The mode is switched without shifting up a gear. This mode can be activated at any time when driving by pushing the lever to the left. Otherwise, warning light 5 will come on.Ī/M To switch from automatic mode to manual mode and vice versa Note: When the vehicle is stationary, you must depress the brake pedal to engage or disengage a gear. You may shift from reverse gear to a forwards gear by pushing the lever forwards once the vehicle is stationary. the engine’s idle speed is sufficient for parking manoeuvres Reverse gear is engaged and the letter R appears on the display. Push the selector lever towards the right and to the rear as shown on the base of the lever, and then release it. Release the brake pedal and accelerate gently to move forwards. With the brake pedal depressed, push the selector lever forwards then release it.
