this warning lamp.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a
gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal. This system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle has been brought to a complete
stop, with your foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-
w
ith the driver's door closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.

System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Driving
171
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,
-

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.
