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
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.
t
her
efore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.

a higher gear, if appropriate.
th

e information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied by
the suggested gear.
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the performance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
th

stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or you put the gear selector in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
S
tO

P mode during a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
t h e key. Never refuel with the engine in S
tO

P
mode; you must switch off the ignition
