6-speed electronic gear control gearbox
Six-speed electronic gear control gearbox
which offers a choice between the comfor t of
fully automatic operation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automatic
mode for automatic control of
the gears by the gearbox,
- manual
mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver.
In automatic mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering
mounted control paddles when required, when

)
When the vehicle has moved off, select
position M
to change to manual mode.
- Pull the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.
- Push the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.
At very low speed, if reverse gear
is requested, this will only be taken
into account when the vehicle is
immobilised. A warning lamp appears in
the instrument panel screen.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up unless the driver acts on
the gear lever or the steering mounted
paddles.
Never select neutral N
while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R
when the
vehicle is immobilised with the brake
pedal pressed.
A

appears with the
gears engaged successively, in the
instrument panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried out
if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to permit
acceleration in the correct gear. This selective gear change mode enables you
to over take, for example, while still remaining in
automatic mode.

Driving
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
- with the electronic gear control
gearbox,
at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h),
press the brake pedal or put the selector
lever in position N
.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfor t, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine star t using
the key,
- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfor table temperature in the passenger
compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer
has any effect unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed the
programmed speed.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: it
requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the par t of the driver.
This information also appears in the
head-up display.
For more information on the head-up
display, refer to the relevant page in this
"Driving" section.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the engaging:
- 4th gear or higher on a manual gearbox,
- 2nd gear or higher on an electronic gear
control gearbox or automatic gearbox,
- position A
on the electronic gear control
gearbox or D
on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.
