The display on the instrument panel
shows the mode or gear selected.
Depending on the vehicle, and accord-
ing to the customised display selected,
the information will be shown on the left
or right of the speedometer:

With the gear lever

,

ing light
c
on the display goes out),
move the lever out of position

apply the brake before pressing un-
locking button

.
Driving in automatic mode
Select position
D
. In most traffic con-
ditions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position
D
, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure au-
tomatic gear changes at comparatively
low engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
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.
