Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
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. Therefore, the driver remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow the
system's advice.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
– START mode – as soon as the driver wishes
to move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.

reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held for
