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  
v

ehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   change   gear.
The   gear   engagement   recommendations   must  
n

ot   be   considered   compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
c

onfiguration   of   the   road,   the   amount   of   traffic  
a

nd   safety   remain   determining   factors   when  
c

hoosing   the   best   gear.   Therefore,   the   driver  
r

emains   responsible   for   deciding   whether   or   not  
t

o   follow   the   advice   given   by   the   system.
This   function   cannot   be   deactivated.
The   information   appears   in   the  
i

nstrument   panel   in   the   form   of   an  
a

r row. The
  system   adapts   its   gear   change  
r

ecommendation   according   to   the  d
riving   conditions   (slope,   load, ...)   and  t

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres,   once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel   speed   sensors   with   reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d

etects   a   drop   in   the   inflation   pressure   of   one  
o

r   more   tyres. The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This   system   does   not   avoid   the   need   to  
c

heck   the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare   wheel)   every   month   as   well   as  
b

efore   a   long   journey.
Driving   with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd   causes   premature   tyre   wear,  p
articularly   under   arduous   conditions  (
high   loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The   inflation   pressures   defined   for  
y

our   vehicle   can   be   found   on   the   tyre  
p

ressure   label.
For   more   information   on   the  
i

dentification   markings,   refer   to   the  c
orresponding s ection.
Tyre   pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   are   "cold"   (vehicle  
s

topped   for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.

You have approximately 5 litres remaining.
In

the
 
fuel   remaining   may   be   less   than

in   the   instrument   panel.   It   will   go   off  
a

utomatically   after   the   engine   has   been  
s

tarted   a   few   times. Refuelling
  must   only   be   done   with the engine
stopped and the ignition switched off ( ignition s

witch in the "LOCK" position or " OFF"
  mode).
The capacity of the fuel tank is approximately 35 litres.
Additions  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   5   litres   to  
b

e   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
A
  label   on   the   inside   of   the   flap   reminds   you  
w

hich   type   of   fuel   to   use.
There
  may   be   an   inrush   of   air   when   removing  
t

he   filler   cap.   This   vacuum   is   per fectly   normal  
a

nd   results   from   the   sealing   of   the   fuel   system.
