Driving
– depress the clutch pedal.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the
conguration of the road, the tra󰀩c density and
safety remain determining factors when choosing
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow
the system’s advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions with a
manual gearbox, the system may suggest
shifting into neutral (N is displayed on the
instrument panel) so that the engine can go into
standby (STOP mode of Stop & Start), in certain
driving conditions.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the
instrument panel, in the form of an "up" or
"down" arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change
instructions according to the driving
conditions (e.g. slope, load) and driving style
(e.g. power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
– engaging rst gear.
– engaging reverse gear.
Automatic gearbox

management of gear changes. It also o󰀨ers a
manual mode with sequential gear changes
via control paddles located behind the steering
wheel.

safety, it is recommended that you keep
