This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Depending on the driving situation and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system can
recommend you to skip one or several gears.
You can follow this instruction without engaging
the intermediate gears.On certain 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 (STOP mode with Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions.
Gear engagement recommendations
are only optional.
In fact, the configuration of the road,
the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear.

the form of an arrow.
With a manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.

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:
