Gear shift indicator*
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You 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.-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
Example:
-

Y
ou are in third gear.
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode.
* Depending on engine. On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,


...).
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
Operation
On BlueHDi Diesel 135 and 150 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 with Stop & Start). In this case,
N is displayed in the instrument panel.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-

w

ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115
and 120 Diesel versions, when you place
the gear lever in neutral and you release
the clutch pedal,
A time counter calculates the sum of the
periods in STOP mode during a journey. It
resets itself to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key or the START/STOP
button. -

w

ith an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in N mode.
The Stop & Start

system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode

-
during stops in the traffic (red lights,
traffic jams,

...). 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.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key or the S TA R T/
STOP button.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering...
