The
system adapts its gear

recommendation
according to the driving conditions
(slope,
load, ...) and the demands
of the driver (power
, acceleration,
braking, ...).
The
system never suggests:
-
engaging
first gear,
-
engaging
reverse gear.
With

System which reduces fuel consumption
by recommending the
most
appropriate gear.
Operation
depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may
advise you to skip one (or more)
gear(s).
Y
ou can follow this instruction
without
engaging the intermediate
gears.
The
gear engagement
recommendations
must not be
considered
compulsory. In fact, the
configuration
of the road, the amount
of
traffic and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best
gear
.
Therefore,
the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or
not to follow the advice given by the
system.
This
function cannot be deactivated.

resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing
down firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral n .
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the

operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle
to change up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-
If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed
(for example when

, to first gear if
needed.
-
It is not necessary to release the
accelerator
completely during gear
changes.
-
a
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.

StOP & StArt
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily on 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
of
f.
The
restart takes place instantly,
quickly
and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system
reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust
emissions as well as the noise
level
when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine StOP mode
The "E c O" warning lamp
comes
on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into
standby:
-
with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-
with the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
, at a speed below
5
mph (8 km/h), when you press
the
brake pedal or put the gear
lever into position
n .If
your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a
time counter calculates the sum of
the
periods in STOP
mode during a
journey
. It rests itself to zero every time
the
ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system,
for your comfort during
parking
manoeuvres, STOP

is not available for a few seconds after
coming
out of reverse gear.

the risk of
malfunction
of the system.
The

use
of advanced technology.
All

on this type of battery must
be done only by a CITR
