a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for

after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a PE
u

protection, do not leave your electronic
key in the vehicle, even when you are
close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on

Gear efficiency indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
You can follow this instruction without going
through the intermediate gears.-

t
h
e system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
th

e information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
on v

ehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
may be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
th

e system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (gradient, load,
...)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,


...).
th

e system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Example:
on c

ertain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral
( N is displayed in the instrument
panel) so that the engine can go into
standby (S
t

o
P m
ode with Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions.
th

is function cannot be deactivated.
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 gear.
th

e gear efficiency indicator system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
