D, gradually releasing the accelerator pedal
fully allows free-wheeling which can save fuel.
A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter
at idle, drop in engine noise).
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:

phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
Operation
Eco
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
configuration of the road, the traffic 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.
To reduce energy consumption by reducing the
performance of the heating and air conditioning,
without deactivating them.
To reduce consumption of the traction battery's
electrical energy by limiting engine torque.
Power (Electric)
Allows a fully laden vehicle (GVW) to obtain
equivalent performance to that of an unladen
vehicle in Normal mode.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
The system cannot be deactivated.
All modes are displayed on the
instrument panel, except for Normal
mode.
Opening the bonnet
