Never select a forward gear when the

vehicle is in rearward motion.

Gear changing is fully automatic. Shift points

are determined by accelerator pedal position

and current road speed.

5. The selected gear will be displayed in the

message centre.

Do not allow the vehicle to remain

stationary for a sustained period, with a

gear selected and the engine running.

SPORT MODE

The transmission will stay in the lower gears

for longer, improving mid-range performance.

To deselect Sport mode, move the selector

back to D.

This vehicle must not be push or tow

started.

transmission will be locked.

To return to Sport mode after CommandShift

then back to Sport mode. Transmission

Commandshift Selected will appear in the

message centre when the transmission is in

CommandShift mode.

Park (P) or Neutral (N) should be

engaged and the parking brake

applied when the vehicle is

stationary.

Always select P and switch off the

ignition before leaving the vehicle.

Note: In order to protect the engine, the

transmission will automatically change up to

prevent over-revving, or down if the engine is

labouring.

is in motion.

DRIVE SELECTOR

P should normally be selected before switching

off the engine. If any other gear is selected at

turn off, the selector will move to P before

retracting into the centre console.

NEUTRAL

Disconnects drive to the wheels. Use the

parking brake while N is selected.

Do not use for vehicle recovery purposes.

Gearbox

If the engine is switched off with N selected, the

system will wait for 10 minutes before

selecting P. This time delay allows the vehicle

enough time to be conveyed through a car

wash. Do not use for vehicle recovery

purposes.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

If your vehicles requires recovery by towing,

the recovery must be undertaken by qualified

personnel. See 216, RECOVERY.

DRIVE SELECTOR FAILS TO ELEVATE

If the drive selector is obstructed, remove the

obstruction and then start the engine. The

selector should elevate as normal.

Selection of reverse gear is prevented

when the vehicle is travelling in excess

of 24km/h (15mph). Never attempt to

engage reverse gear while the vehicle is

in forward motion. This may result in

serious transmission damage and

costly repairs.

If the selector still fails to elevate, even if there

is no obstruction, a fault in the system is

indicated. The selector can still be used in the

lowered position. Ensure that P is selected

before engine switch off. Have the fault

rectified at the earliest opportunity.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR

TRANSMISSION FAULT

The gear shift indicator illuminates

briefly at the recommended gear

change point (upshift).

In the event that the transmission develops a

fault, a warning message may be displayed in

the message centre and only limited gears may

become available. You should seek qualified

assistance immediately.

The shift indicator will not illuminate while

Cruise control is active and is not being

overridden by pressing the throttle pedal.

Note: This warning indicator is only a guide. It

remains the responsibility of the driver to

operate the vehicle in an appropriate manner

for the prevailing conditions.
