Dacia Jogger

Selector lever 1

R: reverse gear

N: neutral

D: forward gear

B: forward gear with increased regenerative braking (depending on the vehicle)

P: parking, button 2

The 3 display on the instrument panel indicates the selector lever position engaged 1.

Operation

With the vehicle stationary and the selector lever 1 in P position, start the vehicle.

On the Hybrid version, the READY message appears on the instrument panel.

With your foot on the brake pedal (the warning light 3 disappears from the display), exit P position and engage D position.

The lever must only be shifted to D, B or R position while the vehicle is stationary, your foot is on the brake and the accelerator pedal is released.

Operation

Shift the selector lever 1 one or two notches forwards or backwards to engage the desired position (R, N, D or B), then release the lever and it will return to its stable position.

The position engaged lights up on the instrument panel.

If certain conditions prevent shifting from one position to another, the requested position flashes on the instrument panel.

To engage position P

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running or the ignition on, press the button 2 to engage P position. The warning light on button 2 appears in orange once the Park P position is engaged on the gearbox.

To disengage position P

With the vehicle stationary and the engine on, press the brake pedal and, move the 1 selector lever forwards or backwards according to the position desired. The 2 button warning light switches off.

If the brake pedal is not fully pressed, the "Press brake pedal" message and warning light are displayed on the instrument panel.

Note:

• if the driver opens their door to leave the vehicle and P position has not been engaged, a beep sounds and the "P not engaged" message is displayed on the instrument panel;
• the warning light appears each time the brake pedal must be pressed to change the automatic gearbox lever position.

To engage Neutral position (N)

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, to engage N position, shift the selector lever 1 a notch forwards or backwards according to the gear engaged.

To engage forward gear ( D position)

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, shift the selector lever 1 two notches backwards to engage D position.

If one of the conditions is not applied, D flashes for around five seconds and the "Press brake pedal" message is displayed on the instrument panel for approximately 15 seconds.

In the majority of driving conditions, you will no longer have to use your gear lever: the gears change "automatically", at the right time, to a suitable engine speed because the automated system takes the vehicle's load, road profile and the selected driving style into account.

Note: with the engine running and the vehicle travelling at between 0 and 5 mph (0 and 8 km/h), in N or R position, you will have to press the brake pedal in order to engage D position. This is useful during parking manoeuvres requiring a number of alternate forward and reverse movements.

Economical driving

When driving, always leave the lever in position D, keeping the accelerator pedal lightly depressed to ensure automatic gear changes at a lower engine speed.

Accelerating and overtaking

Depress the accelerator pedal briskly and fully (so that it goes beyond the kickdown point).

This will enable you to change down to the optimum gear within the engine range.

Driving in mode B

This mode enables driving with greater regenerative engine braking.

When releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle uses regenerative braking to slow down.

Thus the electric motor generates a higher electrical current which enables the traction battery to be recharged.

In B mode, the regenerative braking performance will be reduced if the battery is cold or fully charged.

To engage reverse gear ( R position)

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, shift the selector lever 1 two notches forwards to engage R position.

If the brake pedal is not pressed, a beep will sound, the R position display will flash for around five seconds on the grid shown on the instrument panel and the "Press brake pedal" message will be displayed for around 15 seconds.

Note: with the engine running and the vehicle moving at between approximately 0 and 5 mph (8 km/h), in N or D position you do not need to press the brake pedal to engage R position. This is useful during parking manoeuvres requiring a number of alternate forward and reverse movements.

Gear change paddles 4 and 5

Depending on the vehicle, paddles 4 and 5 can be used to change gear when the selector lever 1 is in D position.

4: change to a lower gear.

5: change to a higher gear.

The P, N and R positions cannot be accessed using the paddles.

Driving in manual mode

When driving in D position, you can switch to manual driving mode using paddles 4 and 5 on the steering wheel. Depending on the vehicle, two manual driving modes are available:

• the "temporary" manual mode can be used to force gear shifting by briefly pressing one of the two paddles. The driving mode D and the gear engaged appear on the instrument panel.

Note: the gearbox automatically returns to automatic mode D if the gear engaged is no longer optimal to vehicle performance or if no action has been taken on a paddle for a certain amount of time.

• permanent manual mode is activated by pressing and holding either of the paddles. The driving mode M and the gear engaged appear on the instrument panel.

Note: depending on the vehicle, the return to automatic mode is carried out by pressing and holding the right-hand paddle or by moving the one-touch lever 1 one or two notches backwards.

In all situations:

• to shift down through the gears, press the left-hand paddle;
• to move up through the gears, press the right-hand paddle.

Note: depending on the display, the "+" and "˗" or and indicators will suggest that you shift up or down a gear.
