[. . . ] (The tell-tale light will go out. ) Note: When the tell-tale light is lit up, the system will prevent 4th gear being selected. For safety reasons, to move out of P position it is essential to apply the footbrake before pressing the unlocking button A. 2. 24 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. · 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. B C Special circumstances · Snow position: If you are starting off on ground where you are likely to skid (snow, mud, etc. ), press switch C. When you have started moving, deselect this position by pressing switch C again. The tell-tale light will extinguish. 2. 25 PROACTIVE AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (continued) Stopping the vehicle A When the vehicle is stationary, keeping your foot on the brake pedal, move the lever to position P (park): the gearbox is in neutral and the drive wheels are mechanically locked by the transmission. Apply the handbrake. Operating incidents · If the lever becomes jammed in P position, even though you are pressing down the brake pedal, the lever can be released manually. To do this, unclip cover H. H I Press on both the raised part I and the unlocking button A at the same time to move the lever from position P. · If this tell-tale light comes on when driving, it indicates a fault. · If a vehicle with an automatic gearbox breaks down, see the information on towing in section 5 for further instructions. How to drive as economically as possible Leave the selector in position D (drive) on the open road. Press the accelerator pedal lightly to ensure gear changes at comparatively low engine speeds. Do not use positions D3, 2, 1 or the winter position for normal driving conditions. 2. 26 Section 3: Your comfort Air vents . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3. 02 Heating and ventilation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3. 02 Interior lights . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3. 20 Ashtrays - Cigarette lighter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
