Driving
Releasing
Engaging reverse gear
Gear shift indicator
Depending on the engine or model, this system
allows fuel consumption to be reduced by
suggesting when to change up.
Gear shift recommendations are only optional.
In fact, the road configuration, the traffic
density and safety remain the determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the system's
advice.
F Pull the lever up slightly and press the
button to release the parking brake lever.
The system cannot be deactivated.
When the vehicle is being driven,
this warning lamp coming on
indicates that the parking brake is
still applied or has not been fully
released.
F Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
Operation
The information appears in the
instrument panel screen in the form
of the SHIFT indicator, accompanied
by an upward arrow to signal to the
driver that they can change up.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Manual gearbox
To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce the
noise on engaging reverse gear.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
never fit one mat on top of another.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
braking, etc.).
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into operation
when reverse gear is engaged; an audible
signal is heard.
For more information on Rear parking
sensors, refer to the corresponding
section.
-
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear the
internal components of the gearbox over time.
