To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,
-

never fit one mat on top of another
.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

everse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged; an
audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
GEAr EFFIcIEncY IndIcAtO r
Depending on the engine or version, this
system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
The gear engagement recommendations should
not be considered to be compulsory. This
because the configuration of the road, the traffic
density 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.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

Operation
The information appears in the
instrument panel screen in the
form of the SHIF
t indicator,
accompanied by an upward arrow
to signal to the driver that they can change up.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, ...) and demands
from the driver (for power, acceleration,
braking,

...).
Switching off
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
As a safety measure, these operations

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key or the remote control, which would
weigh down on its blade in the ignition
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment of
the front airbag. With the engine hot, the warning lamp

than 2 seconds. If your vehicle is fitted with this function:
when you leave your vehicle, the dipped
beam headlamps remain on for the selected
duration (when leaving a car park for
example).
You can adjust the sensitivity of the
sunshine sensor.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section.
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
dipped beam headlamps are switched on
automatically if the light is poor.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lamps
will not be switched on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
beam headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light returns
to a sufficient level.

Operation
Once the function is activated, the system
operates as follows:
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or if
the traffic conditions do not allow illumination
of the main beam headlamps:Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section.
F
Flash the headlamps (going beyond the


point of resistance) to activate the function. If the situation requires a change of
headlamp beam, the driver can take over at
any time.
F
Flashing the headlamps again pauses


the function and the system changes to
"automatic illumination of headlamps"
mode.
The function is deactivated automatically
below 9 mph (15 km/h).
If main beam is still needed, flash the
headlamps again; main beam will then
remain on until the vehicle reaches a speed
of 25 mph (40 km/h).
Above 25 mph (40 km/h), the function is
reactivated automatically (provided that the
headlamps have not been flashed again in
the meantime, to change to dipped beam).
