► To shift up/down through the gears, push the

control backwards/forwards.

The gearbox only changes gear if the vehicle

speed and engine speed conditions allow;

otherwise, the rules for automatic operation are

temporarily applied.

D disappears, and the gears engaged

appear in succession on the instrument

panel.

If the engine speed is too low or too high, the

selected gear ﬂashes for a few seconds, then the

gear actually engaged is shown.

It is possible to change from position D to

position M at any time.

When the vehicle is stationary or moving

very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1

automatically.

Automatic operation

► Select position D for automatic changing of

the six gears.

Starting the vehicle

► With your foot on the brake pedal,

select position P or N.

The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive

mode, without any intervention on the part of the

driver. It continuously selects the most suitable

gear according to the driving style, the road

proﬁle and the load in the vehicle.

For maximum acceleration without touching the

selector, press the accelerator fully down (kick-

down). The gearbox changes down automatically

or holds the gear selected until the maximum

engine speed is reached.

When braking, the gearbox changes down

automatically to provide eﬀective engine braking.

If you release the accelerator sharply, the

gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety

reasons.

► Start the engine.

If the conditions are not met, you will hear an

audible signal, accompanied by the display of a

message.

► With the engine running, depress the brake

pedal.

► Release the parking brake, unless it is set to

automatic mode.

► Select position R, D or M.

► Gradually release the brake pedal.

If position N is selected inadvertently

while driving, allow the engine to return

to idle, then select position D to accelerate.

This symbol is displayed if a gear is not

engaged correctly (gear selector between

two positions).

Never select position N while the vehicle

is moving.

Never select positions P or R unless the

vehicle is completely stationary.

When the engine is running at idle with

the brakes released, if position R, D or M

is selected, the vehicle moves oﬀ even

without the accelerator being pressed.

► From mode D/B, move the push selector

backwards to activate/deactivate the function.

D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.

The system status is not saved when the ignition

is switched oﬀ.

In some situations (e.g. battery full,

extreme temperatures), the amount of

regenerative braking may be temporarily

limited, resulting in less deceleration.

The driver must remain alert to traﬃc

conditions and must always be ready to use

the brake pedal.

Special cases

To avoid mode N (quick change from D to R and

back again):

► In mode R, push backwards past the point of

resistance, mode D is selected.

► In mode D, push forwards past the point of

resistance, mode R is selected.

► Press the control to display the modes on the

instrument panel.

► To return to mode N, push without passing

the point of resistance.

With the brake pedal

When the brake pedal is depressed, the

intelligent braking system automatically recovers

some of the energy and uses it to recharge the

traction battery.

This energy recovery also reduces use of the

brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.

With an electric vehicle, when starting the

vehicle, no mode can be selected until the

READY indicator lamp is displayed.

When the message disappears, the selected

mode is activated and remains indicated on the

instrument panel (except Normal mode).

With the Advanced Grip Control system,

additional driving modes are available.

For more information on Advanced Grip

Control, refer to the corresponding section.

Regenerative braking

With the Brake function and when

decelerating

The Brake function emulates engine braking,

slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the

brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly

when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.

The energy recovered when the accelerator

pedal is released is then used to partially

recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing

the vehicle's driving range.

The driver may experience a diﬀerent

sensation when depressing the brake

pedal compared to a vehicle without

regenerative braking.

For petrol/Diesel versions

Whenever the ignition is switched on, Normal

driving mode is selected by default.
