The parking brake is applied, with the vehicle stationary, by pulling on the lever with a force that is pro-portionate to the steepness of the slope.
To facilitate the action on the lever, you are recommended to press the brake pedal at the same time.
In all circumstances, as a precau- t i o n a r y m e a s u r e , e n g a g e fi r s t g e a r . For vehicles equipped with an automatic gearbox, ensure that the parking position (P) is selected.
On steep slopes, turn the steering wheel towards the kerb.
To release the handbrake, press on the end of the lever, pull the lever up then lower it fully.
HANDBRAKE
Before leaving the vehicle, make s u r e t h a t t h e p a r k i n g b r a k e i s s u f fi -ciently applied to prevent the vehicle from moving if on a slope, or if acci-dentally or deliberately pushed.
As an additional precaution on steep slopes:Apply the parking brake.
Engage a gear.Turn the steering wheel towards the kerb (if there is one).

The 6-speed electronic gear-box offers a choice of two driving modes:
6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX
A manual mode with two methods of operation:
Note: if you are in automatic mode, an instant manual mode activates whenever you action one of the con-trols at the steering wheel.
- the paddle controls behind the steering wheel.
- the gear lever in position M,

N. Neutral

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Gears in manual mode
A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6. Gears in automatic mode.
S. Sport (Sport driving style)
For each of these two modes, a Sport option (corresponding to a more dynamic style of driving) is also available.
An automated mode with the gear lever in position A.

Manual mode
Position the gear lever in position M, then:
- push the lever to engage a higher gear,
- pull the lever to change down.
Manual mode with controls behind the steering wheel
Place the gear lever in position M, and then the controls at the steering wheel will give you access to the six gears in forward drive.
To change gear:
- Press behind the control "+" at the steering wheel to engage a higher gear.
- Press behind the control "-" at the steering wheel to change down.
Observations:
When the vehicle is braking or reduc-ing speed, the gearbox changes down automatically to a suitable gear.
In manual mode, it is not necessary to release the accelerator during changes of gear.
Changes of gear are accepted only if consistent with engine speed.
Under heavy accelera-tion, a higher gear will only be engaged when the driver actions the gear lever or the controls at the steering wheel.
Note: These controls at the steering do not permit you to select neutral or reverse gear.

This driving assistance device allows you to select a maximum speed that you wish not to exceed. This has to be a speed greater than 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph).
The speed limiter controls are located on the steering wheel.
Note: The information relating to the limiter is displayed in zone A of the instrument panel.
To select the function
Turn control 1 to position "LIM".
On selection of the function, the last speed memorised and the informa-tion "OFF" will appear:
To adjust the maximum speed
Provided the engine is running, you can adjust the memorised maximum speed, with short or long presses on:
- button 4 to increase the memo-rised maximum speed,
- button 2 to decrease the memo-rised maximum speed.
Note: successive presses modify the memorised speed in steps of 1 km/h (1 mph), a continuous press in steps of 5 km/h (3 mph).
Activation of the maximum speed
When the desired maximum speed is displayed, press button 3 to acti-vate the limitation.
The information "OFF" then disap-pears from zone A.
While the function is active, pressing the accelerator pedal will not enable you to go beyond the programmed speed unless you press the pedal hard down past the tight spot (see "Temporary exceeding of the maxi-mum speed").
Note: The vehicle speed may vary slightly from that memorised.

If the engine is not running, the steering and braking systems will not be power-assisted.
If towing another vehicle, the latter should be free-wheeling (that is, gearbox in neutral).
