Electronic selector lever 1

R: Reverse mode.

N: Neutral.

D: Automatic mode.

B: Forward gear with increased regenerative braking.

The 2 display on the instrument panel indicates the gear lever position engaged 1.

Operation

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

The position engaged is displayed on the instrument panel.

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

tip

NOTE:

Always press the brake pedal and select the drive mode. If the brake is not pressed, the indicator 2_ALL_472_1_pictogramme.png comes on the instrument panel warns to press the brake pedal before selecting any (R/N/D/B) mode.

To engage neutral

With the vehicle stopped and the engine on, to select N position, move the 1 selector lever one notch forwards or backwards according to the gear engaged.

Driving in automatic mode

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

If one of the conditions is not applied, D flashes for around 5 seconds and the message « Apply brake » 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.

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

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 will be reduced if the accumulator is cold or completely charged.

warning

The engine brake should under no circumstances be used as a substitute for the brake pedal.

To select reverse gear

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

If the brake pedal is not depressed, a beep will sound, the display of position R flashes for around 5 seconds in the grid shown on the instrument panel, and a message « Press brake » is displayed for around 15 seconds.

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

Parking the vehicle

When the vehicle is stationary, stop the engine. Neutral position « N » is engaged while keeping your foot on the brake pedal.

Ensure that the handbrake is engaged and make sure the vehicle is immobilised.

NOTE: vehicle stationary, position N engaged, brake pedal not pressed, if the message « Risk of gearbox breakage » appears on the dashboard: check that the gear lever is not held in position D/B or R then turn off the ignition.

The next time he engine is started, the warning light turns off. if this is not the case, it may be due to another cause, consult an approved Dealer.

Operating faults

During driving:

  • if the message « WARNING: Check Gearbox » appears on the instrument panel, this indicates a fault. Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible;
  • if the message « WARNING: Gearbox Overheating » appears on the instrument panel, stop as soon as possible to allow the gearbox to cool down and wait for the message to disappear.
warning

The N position of the gear selector does not mechanically lock the drive wheels, make sure it is immobilised before leaving the vehicle.

tip

When the door is opened, the message « Select NEUTRAL N » is displayed on the instrument panel if the gear control is in a position other than N and the engine is not switched off.

In the event of an impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture), this may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the electrical circuit or the traction battery.

Do not touch the circuit elements or any fluids or liquids.

To prevent any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an authorised dealer.
