Driving
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,
braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging a lower gear,
- engaging 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.
Perfect 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:
- with a manual gearbox, at a speed below
2 mph (3 km/h) for 1.5 BlueHDi versions, or
with the vehicle stationary for 1.2 PureTech,
1.6 BlueHDi and 2.0 BlueHDi 150 versions,
when you place the gear lever in neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
- with an automatic gearbox, at a speed
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.
