ecommendation   according   to   the  
d

riving   conditions   (slope,   load, ...)   and  
t

he   demands   of   the   driver   (power,  
a

The
  system   never   suggests:

On
  vehicles   with   manual   gearbox,   the   arrow  
c

an   be   accompanied   by   the   recommended  
g

e a r.
Depending
  on   the   driving   situation   and   your  
v

ehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   skip   one   or   more   gears.
You
  can   follow   this   instruction   without   going  
t

hrough   the   intermediate   gears.
The
  gear   engagement   recommendations   must  
n

ot   be   considered   compulsory.
This
  is   because   the   configuration   of   the   road,  
t

raffic   density   and   safety   remain   important  
f

actors   in   the   choice   of   the   best   gear.
The

On
  BlueHDi   Diesel   135   and   150   versions   with  
m

anual   gearbox,   in   certain   driving   conditions  
t

he   system   may   suggest   changing   into   neutral

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine   restarts   automatically   -   START   mode   -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move   off.   The   restart   takes   place   instantly,   quickly   and   silently.
