To reduce fuel consumption by optimising the  
operation of the heating and air conditioning and,  
depending on version, accelerator, automatic  
gearbox, gear shift indicator.  
This system adapts the vehicle suspension  
according to the road condition and profile, the  
vehicle load, the driving style and the selected  
driving mode.  
Free-wheeling in Eco mode: depending on version,  
with the EAT8 gearbox, switching into "free-  
wheeling" is encouraged to slow the vehicle down  
without using engine braking. You can save fuel  
by taking your foot gradually and fully off the  
accelerator pedal in anticipation of slowing down.  
The system uses a computer and sensors, which  
determine the optimal level of shock absorption  
to be applied to each shock absorber.  
The system is also associated with a camera,  
located at the top of the windscreen, constantly  
monitoring the road condition. Based on the  
information transmitted by the camera, the  
system anticipates possible road defects.  
The operation of the system depends on the  
driving mode selected (depending on equipment).  
For more information on the Driving modes,  
please refer to the corresponding section.
