Grip control
Special patented traction control system which improves   traction   on   snow,   mud   and   sand.
This
  system,   the   operation   of   which   has   been  
o

ptimised   for   each   situation,   allows   you   to  
m

anoeuvre   in   most   conditions   of   poor   grip  
(

Associated
  with   all-seasons   M+S   (Mud   and  
S

now)   205/50   R   17   tyres,   this   system   offers  
a

  compromise   between   safety,   adhesion   and  
t

raction.   These   tyres   work   equally   well   in   winter  
a

nd   summer.
A
  five-position   selector   allows   you   to   choose  
t

he   setting   best   suited   to   the   driving   conditions  
en

countered.
An
  indicator   lamp   associated   with   each   mode  
c

omes   on   to   confirm   your   choice.
A
  specific   and   additional   display   appears  
t

emporarily   in   the   touch   screen   to   confirm   the  
s

election   made   with   the   knob. Every
  time   the   ignition   is   switched   off,  
t

he   system   automatically   resets   to   this  
m

ode.
Differents
  modes   are   provided:
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel s
pin,   based   on   the   different   levels   of   grip  
n

ormally   encountered   on   the   road.

Operation
Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up, on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
T he   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   a   lower   gear.
Example:
-
 
Y
ou   are   in   third   gear.
Depending
  on   the   driving   situation   and   your  
v

ehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   skip   one   (or   more)   gear(s).   You   can

The
  information   appears   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   in   the   form   of   an   arrow,   accompanied   by  
t

he   recommended   gear.
On
  certain   Diesel   versions   with   manual  
g

c

hanging   into   neutral   (N

The
  gear   engagement   recommendations   must  
n

ot   be   considered   compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
c

onfiguration   of   the   road,   the   amount   of   traffic  
a

c

hoosing   the   best   gear.   Therefore,   the   driver
