(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
– engaging first gear.
Operation
– engaging reverse gear.
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.
P. Park.
R. Reverse.
N. Neutral.
D. Drive (automatic operation).
M. Manual (manual operation with sequential
changing of the gears).
Automatic gearbox
Automatic 6 or 8-speed gearbox, with electronic
management of gear changes. It also offers a
manual mode with sequential gear changes
via control paddles located behind the steering
wheel.
Position N can be used in traffic jams or
in a car wash tunnel.
Gear selector
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.
To turn the gear selector in complete
safety, it is recommended that you keep
your foot on the brake pedal.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
