Electronic gearbox
Six-speed electronic gearbox system which
offers a choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation or the pleasure of manual
gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automatic
mode for automatic control of
the gears by the gearbox,
- manual
mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver.
For each of these two modes, there is a
a Sport
setting, corresponding to a more
dynamic driving style.
In automatic mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering
mounted control paddles when required, when
overtaking, for example.

Gear effi ciency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining 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.
- You are in third gear.
Example:
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, ...).
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, the
system is only active in manual mode.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the gear
recommended.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of a
each tyres (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label (see
the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The tyre under-inflation detection system is
an aid to driving which does not replace the
need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly.
