Driving











Gear shift indicator * System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
*
According to engine.
The symbol appears in the instrumentpanel suggesting that you change up. In the case of driving which makes par ticular demands on the performanceof the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when over taking...), the system will notrecommend a gear change.The system never suggests: - engaging reverse gear, - engaging a lower gear.
The system intervenes only when driving economically.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 engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear recommendations should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, theconfiguration of the road, the amount of trafficand safety remain determining factors whenchoosing 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.

in automated mode (arrival at a roundabout, exit from a car park with a steep gradient,
over taking...).
The gearbox engages the gear requested if
the engine speed permits it. The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, do one of thefollowing:

- the vehicle has not exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h) since the last engine start,

- the vehicle has restarted less than10 seconds ago,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.

- th
e "AS&G"warning lamp is
flashing in the instrument panel.
This operation is perfectl
y normal.

The Stop & Star t (Auto Stop & Go) function puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). Theengine restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
