Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.
O n   vehicle   fitted   with   a   manual  
g

earbox,   the   arrow   is   accompanied   by  
t

he   gear   recommended.
With
  an   electronic   or   automatic  
g

earbox,   the   system   is   only   active   in  
m

anual
 m
ode. The
  system   adapts   its   gear   change  
r

ecommendation   according   to   the  
d

riving   conditions   (slope,   load, ...)   and  
t

he   demands   of   the   driver   (power,  
a

cceleration,   braking, ...).
The
  system   never   suggests:
-
 
e
ngaging   first   gear,
-
 enga

ging
 r
everse
 g
ear,
-
 
e
ngaging   a   lower   gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   skip   one   (or   more)   gear(s).   You   can  
f

ollow   this   instruction   without   engaging   the  
i

ntermediate
 g
ears.
The
  gear   engagement   recommendations   must  
n

ot   be   considered   compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
c

onfiguration   of   the   road,   the   amount   of   traffic  
a

nd   safety   remain   determining   factors   when  
c

hoosing   the   best   gear.   Therefore,   the   driver  
r

emains   responsible   for   deciding   whether   or   not  
t

o   follow   the   advice   given   by   the   system.
This
  function   cannot   be   deactivated. Example:
-
 
Y
ou   are   in   third   gear.
-  
Y
ou   press   the   accelerator   pedal.
-  
T
he   system   may   suggest   that   you   engage  
a

  higher   gear.
The   information   appears   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   in   the   form   of   an   arrow.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding   the   speed   programmed   by   the   driver.
When
  the   programmed   speed   limit   is   reached,  
p

ressing   the   accelerator   pedal   in   the   normal  
m

anner   no   longer   has   any   effect.
The
  speed   limiter   is   switched on  
m
anually:
 i

2

0 mph   (30   km/h).
The
  speed   limiter   is   switched off   by   manual  
o

peration   of   the   control.
The
  programmed   speed   can   be   exceeded  
t

emporarily   by   pressing   the   accelerator   firmly.
To
  return   to   the   programmed   speed,   simply
