Gear shift indicator
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is active
only in manual mode.The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. It may be
accompanied by a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
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 reverse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily 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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The " ECO" indicator lamp in the
instrument panel comes on and the
engine goes into standby:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , at a speed below
12
mph (20 km/h) (depending on version),
when you move the gear lever into neutral
and release the clutch pedal.
-
w
ith a 6-speed electronic gearbox ,
when stationary or at a speed below 5
mph
(8
km/h), when you press the brake pedal or
move the gear selector into position N .
If your vehicle is so equipped, a time counter
calculates the total time spent in STOP mode
during a journey. It is reset to zero every time
the ignition is switched on using the key.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or several) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations are only optional.
In fact, the road configuration, the traffic
density and safety remain the determining
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow this advice.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Driving
109
With a 6 -speed electronic gearbox, for
your convenience when parking, the
STOP mode is not available for the few
seconds that follow disengagement of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not triggered when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (uphill or
downhill),
-
t
he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start using
t h e key,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d
emisting is on, -
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature, etc.) are present
which require the engine to be running to
assure control of the system.
In this case, the " ECO" indicator
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START mode
The " ECO" indicator lamp goes off
and the engine restarts:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , when you fully
press the clutch pedal,
-
w
ith a 6-speed electronic gearbox
•
g
ear lever in position A or M , when you
release the brake pedal,
•
o
r gear lever in position N and the brake
pedal released, when you move the gear
selector to position A or M ,
•
o
r when you engage reverse gear. With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if
a gear is engaged without fully pressing
the clutch pedal, a message is displayed
asking you to press the clutch pedal to
restart the engine.
Special cases: START mode
activated automatically
As a safety measure or to maintain comfort
levels in the vehicle, START mode is activated
automatically when:
-
y
ou open the driver's door,
-
y
ou unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
t
he speed of the vehicle exceeds 16 mph
(25
km/h) with a manual gearbox or 7 mph
(11
km/h) with an electronic 6 -speed
gearbox,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature, etc.) are present
which require the engine to be running to
assure control of the system or vehicle.
In this case, the " ECO" indicator
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
