Operation

With the gear lever 1 in P position, start the engine. The "READY" message will appear on the instrument panel.

To exit P, position, you must press the brake pedal (the warning light is displayed).

With your foot on the brake pedal (the warning light on the display goes out): disengage P position.

The gear lever 1 must only be set to D or R position while the vehicle is stationary, the brake pedal is pressed and the accelerator pedal is released.

Note:

• the selector lever 1 to exit P, R, N, D, B position if the key is in the "ON" position Starting/stopping the engine: vehicle with key or, on vehicles equipped with a "hands-free" card, in "Accessories function" mode Starting, stopping the engine: vehicle with card;
• the gear lever 1 cannot be shifted from P position to another position if the key is set to "LOCK" position Starting/stopping the engine: vehicle with key and if the key is not inserted or, on vehicles equipped with a "hands-free" card, if the ignition is switched off Starting, stopping the engine: vehicle with card.

Driving in mode D

Place the lever into position D. In most traffic conditions, you will not have to touch the gear lever.

To select reverse gear

With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, press the brake pedal and move the lever to position R.

The reversing lights will switch on as soon as reverse gear is engaged (if the ignition is on) along with the reversing camera Reversing camera (depending on the vehicle).

Driving in mode B

By releasing the accelerator, the vehicle uses regenerative braking to slow down the vehicle. Thus the electric motor generates an electrical current which enables the traction battery to be recharged. You can use this mode to manually set the regenerative level higher (B3) or lower (B1).

Note: with position D, B or R engaged, when the vehicle is stationary, it sets off at a low speed as soon as you release the brake pedal (without pressing the accelerator pedal).

Move from position D to B

Move the lever to D position, move the lever to the right to B position.

The D position corresponds to the regenerative level B2.

B2 is the default level.

To select level B1, push forwards. To select level B3, push backwards.

The instrument panel display indicates the B position engaged along with the regenerative braking level.

In B position, regenerative braking may be reduced if the battery is cold and fully charged.

Move from position B to D

With the lever in B position, move the lever to the left to the D position.

Parking the vehicle

When the vehicle is stationary, move the lever to P position while keeping your foot on the brake pedal: the reducer and drive wheels will be mechanically locked.

Note: with B position engaged (B1, B2 or B3), you must shift the lever to D position before engaging P position.

Ensure that the electronic parking brake is engaged.

Special case

If parking on a slope, it is advisable to apply the parking brake before releasing the parking brake and engaging P position.

Operating faults

• When driving, if the "WARNING: Check Gearbox" message appears on the instrument panel, this indicates a fault.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible;

• When driving, if the "WARNING: Gearbox Overheating" message appears on the instrument panel, stop as soon as possible to allow the gear control to cool down and wait for the message to disappear.

Vehicle repairs

When setting off, if the lever is locked in position P when you press the brake pedal (e.g. battery fault), it is possible to manually release the lever to unblock the drive wheels. To do this, unclip the base of the gaiter and press button 4 while simultaneously pressing button 3 on the lever to unlock the lever and shift to N position.
