This gearbox is electronically controlled and
does not have a clutch pedal.
Do not use the accelerator pedal to hold
the vehicle on a slope, apply the parking
brake instead; failure to follow this
procedure can overheat the clutch and

vehicle speed,
-


engine speed,
-


accelerator pedal position.

Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
The gear change recommendations must
not be considered compulsory, as the
configuration of the road, the volume 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 system cannot be deactivated.Example:
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most suitable gear.
Display in the level 2 instrument panelIn 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.
The system will never suggest:
-

engaging first gear
,
-

engaging reverse.
-


Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
-
The
system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate. On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the gear
recommended.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode. The information appears in the form of the
word
SHIFT in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an up arrow to changing up.
