System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Gear efficiency indicator
Operation
Example:
- Y ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to change gear.
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.
The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row. 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:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
With an ETG electronic gearbox, the
system is only active in manual mode.
With the PureTech 82 engine, the
system only suggests when to
change
up.

Stop & Start (VTi 68 S&S engine)
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
w
hen stationary, in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the button. For smoother operation, during
parking manoeuvres STOP mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
vehicle's systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
vehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
altitude...) where the engine is needed to
assure control of a system.
The Stop & Start
system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The
engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Stop & Start time counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer once the
Stop & Start acts.
Press one of the screen management buttons
to return to the previous display.
A global time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode since the last reset.
When it is displayed, press one of the screen
management buttons to reset the counter.

F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

Electrical energy economy mode*
System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio system, windscreen
wipers, dipped beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of
twenty
m
inutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
Let the engine run for the duration
specified to ensure that the battery
charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously
restart the engine in order to charge the
battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
Refer to the "Battery" section.
Switching to economy mode
Once this time has elapsed the active functions
are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run for at
least 5 minutes.

As a safety measure, the driver must carry out operations which
require prolonged attention while the vehicle is stationary.
To prevent discharging of the battery, the system cuts off
following activation of energy economy mode, 20 minutes after
switching off the engine on vehicles fitted with the Keyless Entry
and Starting system. Contents
The temperature of a telephone may increase when connected
by MirrorLink. In this case, the telephone battery discharges as a
safety measure.

Audio streaming
Once connected for streaming, the
telephone is considered as a media
source.
It is recommended that "Repeat" mode
be activated in the Bluetooth device. Streaming allows audio files on your
telephone to be played via the vehicle's
speakers.
Connect the telephone: see the " Telephone"
section, then " Bluetooth".
Choose either " Connect all" or " Connect as
audio player " profile.
If play does not start automatically, it may
be necessary to start audio play from the
telephone.
Control is from the peripheral device or by
using the audio system controls.
Connecting Apple® players
Connect the Apple® player to the USB port
using a suitable cable (not supplied).
Play starts automatically.
Control is via the audio system. The version of software in the audio
system may not be compatible with the
generation of your Apple
® player.
The classifications available are those
of the portable device connected
(artists / albums / genres / tracks /
playlists / audio books
/ podcasts).
The default classification used is by
artist. To modify the classification used,
return to the first level of the menu
then select the desired classification
(playlists for example) and confirm to go
down through the menu to the desired
track.
