Automated mode
Following use of the sequential mode, select position A to return to the automated mode.
AUTO and the gear engaged appear
in the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any action on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear for:
- optimisation of fuel consumption,
- the driving style,
- the road conditions,
- the vehicle load.
For best acceleration, when overtaking another vehicle for example, press the accelerator pedal firmly to pass the point of resistance.
