Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the
configuration of the road, the traffic density and
safety remain determining factors when choosing
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow
the system’s advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions with a
manual gearbox, the system may suggest
shifting into neutral ( N is displayed on the
instrument panel) so that the engine can go into
standby (STOP mode of
Stop & Start), in certain
driving conditions.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the instrument panel, in the form of an "up" or
"down" arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change instructions according to the driving
conditions (e.g.
slope, load) and driving style
(e.g.
power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear
.
–

engaging reverse gear
.
Automatic gearbox
Automatic 6 or 8-speed gearbox, with electronic management of gear changes. It also offers a
manual mode with sequential gear changes
via control paddles located behind the steering
wheel.
Gear selector
To turn the gear selector in complete safety, it is recommended that you keep
your foot on the brake pedal.
P. Park.
R. Reverse.

mode).
The vehicle moves off immediately

.
If P is displayed on the instrument panel
but the selector is in another position,
place the selector in position P to allow the
engine to be started.
If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle, then
select position D to accelerate.
When the engine is running at idle with
the brakes released, if position R, D or M
is selected, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle
without taking your key or remote control with
you, even for a short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake and
select position P.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Automatic operation
► Select position D for automatic
changing of the gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear according to the driving style, the road
profile and the load in the vehicle.

144
Driving
► For maximum acceleration without
touching the selector , fully depress the
accelerator pedal (kick-down).
The gearbox changes down automatically or
holds the gear selected until the maximum
engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety
reasons.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily assume control of gear
changing using the " +" et "-” steering-mounted
controls. The gear change request will be
executed if the engine speed permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or
approaching a bend in the road.
After a few seconds with no inputs via the control
paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic
operation.
Creeping (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D, M or R selected, the vehicle
moves
as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
As a safety precaution, never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the
doors closed.
Manual operation
► With the selector in position D , press
button M to enable 6- or 8-speed
sequential
gear changing.
The indicator lamp for the button comes on.

shown in succession on the instrument
panel.
►

Y

ou can revert to automatic operation at any
time by pressing button M again.
The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
In manual mode, there is no need to
release the accelerator pedal while
changing gear.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit.
If the engine speed is too low or too high,
the selected gear flashes for a few
seconds, then the gear actually engaged is
shown.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear
M1.
To preserve the brakes while descending a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (change down or select a
lower gear).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed
continuously for long periods can overheat
the brakes, with the risk of damaging the
braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow
or stop the vehicle.
Depending on the road configuration
(e.g. mountainous road), manual
operation may be preferable.
Automatic operation may not always be
suitable, and does not enable engine braking.
