Operation









Gear shift indicator

System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is only active in Manual mode.


The system adapts its gear change recommendation according to thedriving conditions (slope, load, ...) and the demands of the driver (power,acceleration, braking, ...).
The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- Yo u press the accelerator pedal.
- The s
ystem may suggest that you engage a
higher gear.
The in
formation appears in the instrumentpanel in the form of an arrow. On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrowcan be accompanied by the recommended gear.
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 mustnot be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors whenchoosing 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.

Display of inter-vehicle time


Using a radar located at the front of the vehicle,
this system helps the driver maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and the one in
front, b
y displaying the inter-vehicle time in the instrument panel.
It is the time interval, expressed in seconds,
that separates two vehicles in line. The
recommended safe value is about 2 seconds:
refer to the legislation or highway code in force
in your country.

Activation / deactivation
)Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
The measurement is displayed for information only: the system takes no action on the vehicle. This system does not in anycircumstances replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver who mustremain in control of their vehicle at all times. The system is not designed for urbanuse nor during more dynamic driving (bends, acceleration, harsh braking…)but rather when driving at stable speed.
The system is active in a speed range between 42 and 93 mph (70 and 15 0 km / h).Stationary vehicles and cer tain other road users (such as bicycles for example) are not detected. The system displays inter-vehicle timevalues of between 3 seconds and 0.5 of a second. Below 0.5 of a second, the value displayed is maintained at this level,even if the true inter-vehicle time is less.

Activation of the active cruise control automatically deactivates the system. The state o
f the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Activation of the system is done in the " Driving assistance" menu, with the ignition on.
This system is only available with the "DRIVING" display mode of the type 2instrument panel.
