gear shift indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
You can follow this instruction without going
through the intermediate gears.-
Yo

u are in third gear.example:
-
Yo
u press the accelerator pedal.-


t
he s
ystem may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
the i

nformation appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
can be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
the s

ystem adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
.

..) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
.

..).
the s

ystem never suggests:
-
en

gaging first gear,
-
engag

ing reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Operation
On certain Diesel versions with
manual gearbox, the system may
suggest changing into neutral (
N is
displayed in the instrument panel) so
that the engine can go into standby
(S
tOP m

ode with Stop & Start), in
certain driving conditions.
the g

ear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory.
thi

s is because the configuration of the road,
traffic density and safety remain important
factors in the choice of the best gear.
the g

ear shift indicator system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
thi

s function cannot be deactivated.

Automatic operation
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Sport and snow programmes
these two special programmes supplement the
a utomatic operation in very specific conditions
of use.

engine.
the g

earbox adapts to driving on slippery
roads.
thi

when traction is poor. T appears in the instrument panel.
Return to automatic operation
F At any time, press the button selected
(
S or " T") again at any time to quit the
programme engaged and return to auto-
adaptive mode.
Creep function (moving
without using the
accelerator)
this function provides great flexibility in
m anoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when
parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves
a

s soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
For your safety, this function will be activated
only if you press the brake pedal when
changing from forward drive to reverse.
It is deactivated on opening the driver's door.
Closing the door then pressing the brake or
accelerator pedal, reactivates the function.
Never leave children inside the vehicle
without supervision when the engine is
running.
If you vehicle is equipped with the "Dynamic

t position D for automatic
changing
of the six gears.the g
earbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration, without touching
the gear selector press the accelerator pedal
down fully (kick-down).
the g

earbox changes
down automatically or maintains the gear
selected until the maximum engine speed is
reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.Sport "S"

emergency automatic braking is a system that
a ims to reduce the speed of a frontal collision

Park Assist
this system provides active assistance with
par king, detecting a parking space then
controlling the steering to park in the space.
It controls the steering while the driver
manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and
clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of
entry into and exit from a parking space, the
system provides visual and audible information
to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres
safe. It may be necessary to move for wards
and backwards more than once. During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and
take care with loose and bulky clothing,
scarves, handbags...
the

re is a risk of
injury.
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to S
tOP m

ode of
Stop & Start. In S
tOP m

ode, activation
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
the P

ark Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
the d

river must remain in control
of their vehicle ensuring that the
space remains clear throughout the
manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in their blind spots.
the d

river can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.the P ark Assist system provides
assistance for the following
manoeuvres:
-
en

try into a parallel parking space
-

it from a parallel parking space
-

the P
ark Assist system takes control
of the power steering for a maximum
of 4 manoeuvre cycles.
the f

unction
is deactivated after these 4 cycles.
If you think that your vehicle is not
positioned correctly, you should then
take control of the steering to carry out
the manoeuvre.
the P
