Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear. T he system adapts its gear change
r
ecommendation according to the
d
riving conditions (gradient, load, ...)

The information appears in the instrument
panel
in the form of an arrow.
On
vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow

The gear engagement recommendations
must not be considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of the
road, traffic density and safety remain
impor tant factors in the choice of the best

Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle
may
stall.
All
of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed, asking you to place the gear
s
elector lever at position N and put your foot on
the
brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and start the engine again using the "START/STOP" b
utton.
In the event of a fault with the system,
this indicator lamp flashes for a few
moments then comes on continuously,
accompanied
by a message.

recommended
that
you
d
eactivate
the
Stop

system.
For more information on Driving
advice , particularly on flooded roads,
refer
to
the
corresponding
section. The Stop & Start system requires a
battery
of advanced technology and

c
haracteristics.
All
work on this type of battery must
o

or
a

Speed limit recognition
This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods
vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel
is updated as you pass a speed limit sign
i
ntended for cars (light vehicles).
The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h)
depend on the country you are
d
riving in.
It
should be taken into account so that
y
ou observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly
when
you change country, the units for
s
peed in the instrument panel must be
those
for the country you are driving in. The
automatic reading of road signs is a
d
riving assistance system and does not
a
lways display speed limits correctly.
The
speed limit signs present on the
r
oad always take priority over the
d
isplay by the system.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance
on the part of the driver.
The
driver must observe the driving
r
egulations and must adapt the speed
o
f the vehicle to suit the weather and
traffic.
It is possible for the system to not
display the speed limit if it does not
detect
a speed limit sign within a preset
p
eriod.
The
system is designed to detect signs
t
hat conform to the Vienna Convention
on
road signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system:
regularly clean the area in front
o
f the camera.Principles
Using a camera at the top of the windscreen, this system detects and reads speed limit and
end
of speed limit signs.
The
system also takes account of information
o
n speed limits from the navigation system
ma
pping.
