(warning light Only engage D or R when the vehicle is stopped, with your foot on the brake and the accelerator pedal released. Driving in automatic mode Move lever 1 to position D. In most road conditions you will encounter, you will not need to touch your 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 particular driving style you have chosen. 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 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.

To do this, unclip the flap 4, then insert a tool (with a hard rod to it) into the hole and press the button 2 at the same time in order to unlock the lever.
