"ECO OFF" function
This function prevents the HDi Diesel engine being switched off and ensures that a comfortable temperature can be maintained in the passenger compartment. This therefore allows the air conditioning or heating to be kept running. Depending on version, the control is either in the switch panel alongside the steering wheel, or in the " Driving " menu of the touch screen.
The function is deactivated on switching off the ignition.
With the touch screen button

Manual gear changing  When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to manual mode.  Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddles.
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised. A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
On sharp acceleration in manual mode, the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles. Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving.
A disappears and the gears engaged M1...M6 appear successively in the instrument panel screen.
The gear change commands are only carried out if the engine speed permits. The internal combustion engine is still running. It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes. When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to permit acceleration in the correct gear.
This occasional gear change mode enables you to overtake, for example, while still remaining in automated mode.  Operate the + or - steering mounted control paddle. The gearbox engages the gear requested if the engine speed permits. A is still displayed in the instrument panel.
Manual mode
After a few moments without any action on the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.
