System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Gear shift 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  
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
he   demands   of   the   driver   (power,  
a

cceleration,   braking, ...).
The
  system   never   suggests:
-
 
e
ngaging   first   gear,
-
 enga

ging
 r
everse
 g
ear.
With
  an   ETG   electronic   gearbox,   the  
s

ystem   is   only   active   in   manual   mode.
With   the   PureTech   82   engine,   the  
s

ystem   only   suggests   when   to  
c

hange up.

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and broken   lines.
To
  improve   your   safety,   the   camera   analyses   the   image   and   then   triggers   a   warning   if   the   vehicle   wanders   over   a   lane   marking   (speed   higher   than  
3

0 mph   (50   km/h)).
This
  system   is   particularly   suitable   for   motor ways   and   dual   carriageways.
