When the ignition is on, a message appears   in   the   instrument   panel  
s

creen   to   indicate   a   gearbox   fault.
Operating fault
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- i f you press the accelerator and
brake
  pedals   at   the   same   time,
-
 
i
f   you   force   the   selector   from  
p

osition P to another position when
the
  battery   is   flat.

  reduce   fuel   consumption   when  
s

t

he   gear   selector   at   N and apply the
parking
  brake,   unless   it   is   programmed  
i

n   automatic   mode.
In
 
this
 
case,
 
the
 
gearbox
 
switches
 
to
 
back-up

may
 
feel
 
a

knock
 
when
 
changing
 
from

Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

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

ollow   this   instruction   without   engaging   the  
i

ntermediate
 g
ears.
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

The
  information   appears   in   the   instrument  
p

System
  which   reduces   fuel   consumption   by   recommending   the   most   appropriate   gear.
With   an   automatic   gearbox,   the   system   is   only

* Depending
  on   engine.
On
  vehicle   fitted   with   a   manual   gearbox,  
t

he   arrow   may   be   accompanied   by   the   gear  
re

commended. The
  system   adapts   its   gear   change  
r

ecommendation   according   to   the  
d

riving   conditions   (slope,   load, ...)   and  
t

he   demands   of   the   driver   (power,

Operation
On BlueHDi Diesel 150 versions with
