Access

With an electronic or automatic gearbox,
the system is only active in manual mode.
On BlueHDi Diesel versions with manual
gearbox, in certain driving conditions the
system may suggest changing into neutral so
that the engine can go into standby (STOP
mode of Stop & Start). In this case, N is
displayed in the instrument panel.
Example:
-

Y
ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a


higher gear. The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, etc.)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
-
enga

ging a

lower gear.
On vehicle fitted with a
manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered obligatory. The configuration of the
road, the amount of traffic and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. The driver thus remains responsible
for deciding whether to follow or ignore the
system's instructions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
Hill start assist
This system briefly keeps your vehicle
stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when
making a
hill start, while you transfer your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

t
he driver's door is closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily in the hill start assist
phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp lights up constantly on
the instrument panel.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode –
as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
