when starting on a hill, the time required
for you to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active:

ised completely with your foot on the
brake pedal,

- on certain gradients,

- when the driver's door is closed.

CRUISE CONTROL

System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on

manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gagement of:


- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- second gear in sequential mode on
the electronic gear control gearbox
or automatic gearbox,

- position A
on the electronic gear
control gearbox or D
on the auto-
matic gearbox. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A
.

The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to observe speed limits, nor can
it replace the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver. The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.





This information also appears
in the head-up display.

DRIVING







6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX

As a safety precaution and to fa-
cilitate starting of the engine: Only engage reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary
with the engine at idle.

Engaging 5th or 6th gear



)
Move the lever fully to the right to
engage 5th or 6th gear.


* According to engine.












GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.


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 instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
confi guration of the road, the amount
of traffi c and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow
the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when overtak-
ing...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.


- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The information appears in the form
of an arrow in the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.

This equipment will become available
during the year.

- always select neutral,

- press the clutch pedal.


Engaging reverse gear



)
Raise the ring under the knob and
move the gear lever to the left then
forwards.
