Electric Parking Brake (EPB)

• The EPB will automatically release

when the gear selector is moved from
P (Park) with the footbrake applied.

• The EPB can be manually released

when the engine is running and the
footbrake is applied. Press the EPB
switch down to release, and pull it up
to apply.

• If manually applied whilst in D or R,

the EPB will automatically release
when the accelerator is applied.

Transmission

Gearshift interlock

The ignition must be on, and the
footbrake applied, before the gear
selector can be moved from P (Park) to R
(Reverse). The selector can be moved
into P with the ignition off.

Sports mode

When the gear selector is moved from D
(Drive) to S (Sport) automatic changing of
the gears is maintained. However, the
gear shift points are modified to make full
use of the engine’s power.

Note: With the selector lever in S, and DS
displayed in the message centre, the
transmission will enter 6th gear less often
at higher cruising speeds.

Fuel consumption will be adversely
affected.

Manual operation

Manual changing of the gears via the
steering wheel paddles is possible when
the gear selector is in either D (Drive) or S
(Sport).
