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

ou   to   skip   one   or   more   gears.
You
  can   follow   this   instruction   without   going  
t

hrough   the   intermediate   gears..
Gear efficiency 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, ...)  
a

nd   the   demands   of   the   driver   (power,  
a

cceleration,   braking,   ...).
The
  system   never   suggests:

The
  information   appears   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   in   the   form   of   an   arrow.
On
  vehicles   with   manual   gearbox,   the   arrow  
m

ay   be   accompanied   by   the   recommended  
g

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

The
  gear   efficiency   indicator   system   does   not  
r

eplace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the

With
  an   automatic   gearbox,   the   system   is   only   active   in   manual   mode.
On
  BlueHDi   Diesel   135   and   150   versions   with

Memorising speeds
Memorising
This function allows speeds to be saved, which can then be offered to set the two systems: the speed limiter (to limit the speed of the vehicle) or the c
ruise   control   (for   a   vehicle   cruising   speed).
You
  can   memorise   up   to   six   speed   settings   for   each   of   the   two   systems.   By   default,   some   speed   settings   are   already   memorised.

Speed limit recognition
This system allows the speed limit detected by t
he   camera   to   be   displayed   in   the   instrument  
pan

el.
Specific
  speed   limits,   such   as   those   for   heavy  
g

oods   vehicles,   are   not   displayed.
The
  display   of   the   speed   limit   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   is   updated   as   you   pass   a   speed   limit   sign  
i

ntended   for   cars   (light   vehicles).
The
  units   for   the   speed   limits   (mph   or  
k

m/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  
w

hen   you   change   country,   the   units   for  
s

peed   in   the   instrument   panel   must   be  
t

hose   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  
c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   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  
t

raffic.
It
  is   possible   for   the   system   to   not  
d

isplay   the   speed   limit   if   it   does   not  
d

etect   a   speed   limit   sign   within   a   preset  
p

eriod.
The
  system   is   designed   to   detect   signs  
t

hat   conform   to   the   Vienna   Convention  
o

n   road   signs.
To
  maintain   correct   operation   of   the  
s

ystem:   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  
e

nd   of   speed   limit   signs.
The
  system   also   takes   account   of   information  
o

n   speed   limits   from   the   navigation   system
