In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the

Lamps on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle's lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual lamps
mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.

Operation
The system intervenes only when
driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation
and your vehicle's equipment, the
system may advise you to skip one
or more gears. You can follow this
instruction without engaging the in-
termediate gears.
The gear engagement recommen-
dations must not be considered
c o m p u l s o r y . I n f a c t , t h e c o n fi g u -
ration of the road, the amount of
t r a f fi c a n d s a f e t y r e m a i n d e t e r m i n -
ing factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or
not to follow the advice given by the
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
* According to engine. E x a m p l e :
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if ap-
propriate. The information appears in the in-
strument panel screen in the form of
an arrow accompanied by the sug-
gested gear.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
( fi r m p r e s s u r e o n t h e a c c e l e r a t o r
p e d a l , f o r e x a m p l e , w h e n o v e r t a k -
ing...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- e n g a g i n g fi r s t g e a r ,
- engaging reverse gear,
