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

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

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

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

anual   gearbox,   in   certain   driving   conditions  
t

he   system   may   suggest   changing   into   neutral

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine   restarts   automatically   -   START   mode   -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move   off.   The   restart   takes   place   instantly,   quickly   and   silently.

Cruise control - "CRUISE"
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Y ou   are   advised   to   keep   your   feet   near   the   pedals   at   all   times.
Switching on the cruise control requires a
minimum   vehicle   speed   of   25   mph   (40   km/h).
As
  well   as   engagement   of:
-
 
f
ourth   gear   or   higher   on   a   manual   gearbox,

The
  system   remains   active   after   changing   gear

The cruise control is paused
 

by   pressing

It
  is   possible   to   exceed   the   programmed   speed

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking.   It   detects   a   parking   space   then  
o

perates   the   steering   to   park   in   the   space.
It
  operates   the   steering   while   the   driver  
m

anages   the   accelerator,   brakes,   gears   and  
c

lutch   (manual   gearbox).   During   phases   of  
e

ntry   into   and   exit   from   a   parking   space,   the  
s

ystem   provides   visual   and   audible   information  
t

o   the   driver   in   order   to   make   the   manoeuvres  
s

afe.   It   may   be   necessary   to   move   for wards  
a

nd   backwards   more   than   once. During
  a   manoeuvre   the   steering  
w

heel   turns   quickly:   do   not   hold   the  
s

teering   wheel,   do   not   place   your   hands  
b

etween   the   spokes   of   the   steering  
w

heel   and   take   care   with   loose   and  
b

ulky   clothing,   scarves,   handbags...  
T

here   is   a   risk   of   injury.
When
  Park   Assist   is   activated,   it  
p

revents   a   change   to   STOP   mode   of  
S

top   &   Start.   In   STOP   mode,   activation  
o

f   Park   Assist   restarts   the   engine.
The
  Park   Assist   system   cannot   in   any  
c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
  driver   must   remain   in   control  
o

f   their   vehicle   ensuring   that   the  
s

pace   remains   clear   throughout   the  
m

anoeuvre.
In
  some   circumstances,   the   sensors  
m

ay   not   detect   small   obstacles   located  
i

n   their   blind   spots.
The
  driver   can   take   control   at   any   time   by  
g

ripping   the   steering   wheel. The
  Park   Assist   system   provides   assistance   for  t
he   following   manoeuvres:
