Driving
Activation of the "Power" feature
When you wish to overtake and get more power
to obtain maximum vehicle mobility, depress
the accelerator pedal: the information
"Pow-
er" (6) is displayed.
Disabling of the "Power" feature
Gently release the accelerator pedal: the infor-
mation
"Power" (6) is erased.
The "Power" feature accentuates fuel
consumption.
Use on downhill runs
In slowing down phase (brakes or retarder(s)
activated), if you are negotiating a steep down-
hill section with the engine speed high (close to
engine overspeed) and with the accelerator
pedal fully released, no gear is changed auto-
matically. This serves to hold back the vehicle.
In this case, warning pictogram (7) is displayed
meaning that the vehicle must be slowed down
using the brakes or the retarder(s).
With the retarder(s) inactive and the brakes not applied, if you are negotiating a steep downhill
section, the system will automatically change down the gears to protect the engine against
overspeed.
If you press hard down on the accelerator pedal, maximum mobility is demand-
ed and the gearbox will change up through several undesired gears.
