Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear efficiency recommendations are for
information only. In fact, the road layout, the
traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued
by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.
The information is displayed in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
With a
manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended. The system adapts its gear efficiency
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging a
lower gear,
-
enga
ging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the " START/STOP" button.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-

below 12
mph (20 km/h) for 1.5 BlueHDi
and 2.0
BlueHDi 180 versions, or with the
vehicle stationary for other versions, when
you depress the brake pedal or place the
gear selector to mode N .
A time counter calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during the journey. It is reset to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the key or the " START/STOP" button.

Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1
hour or
after a
journey of less than 6 miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.

Modification of the
programmed inter-vehicle
distance
Three threshold settings are suggested for the
inter-vehicle distance:
-
"Distant " (3
dashes),
-
"Normal " (2
dashes),

- Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency b r ak ing).
Distance Alert: it warns the driver if their
vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in
front or a
pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Intelligent emergency braking assistance:
it supplements the braking action taken by the
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake : it intervenes following
the alert if the driver does not react quickly
enough and does not operate the vehicle's
brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a
collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle.
Activation and operating
conditions
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
t he windscreen, and depending on the version,
a radar located in the front bumper. The system is active from about 4
mph (7 km/h)
and is deactivated below about 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
-
v
ehicles running in the same direction or
stationary,
-
p
edestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles,
motorcycles, animals and objects on the
road are not necessarily detected).
This system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a
slight noise and a sense of
deceleration.
