When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to manual mode.
- Pull the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.
- Push the lever towards the - sign to change down a gear.
The gears engaged appear successively
in the instrument panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried out if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to permit acceleration in the correct gear.
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised. A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
