Traction control: ASR
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
The system also adjusts the engine speed to the grip available under the wheels, independently of the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function begins to operate,
warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa- nied by the ‘traction control deselected’ message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system measures and compares the speed of the drive wheels at all times and slows down their over-rotation.
If a wheel is starting to slip, the system brakes automatically until the drive sup- plied becomes compatible with the level of grip under the wheel again.
This system helps to limit skidding on drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away or accelerating.

Deactivating the A.S.R. function results in the E.S.P. function being deactivated. Refer to the information on the “Electronic stability program: E.S.P.” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat- ing fault the message “Check E.S.P.” appears on the instrument panel along
with the © warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very wet ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with snow chains fitted), the system may reduce the engine output to limit wheel- spin. If this is not required, it is possible to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The ‘traction control deselected’ mes- sage is displayed on the instrument panel along with warning light A to inform you.
Disabling the function also disables the E.S.P. function.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati- cally when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Emergency brake assist
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
This system supplements the ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis- tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer- gency braking situation. In this case, the braking assistance immediately de- velops maximum power and may trig- ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights

Depending on the vehicle, these may light up in the event of sudden decel- eration.

Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on, automatic mode is selected by default (letter A on the display).
The vehicle is controlled using the ac- celerator and the brake.
Gears will change automatically at the correct moment and at a suitable engine speed because automatic mode takes into consideration the road sur- face and the chosen driving style.
You may modify the gear selected auto- matically by moving the lever forwards or backwards (except if there is a risk of under- or overrevving).
The oil level in the automatic gear- box system reservoir varies ac- cording to use. Adding oil is strictly forbidden (except by qualified ap-
proved network personnel).
QUICkSHIFT GEARBOX (3/5)
If the engine is being overrevved or underevved, the system will select the optimal gear.
Changing mode
You can change mode at any time by pushing the lever to the left. This switches mode without changing gear.
Driving in manual mode
Using the selector lever
Pushing the lever repeatedly allows you to change gears manually.
– to change up a gear: push the lever
forwards
– to change down a gear: push the lever backwards
– to change to neutral: with the brake
pedal depressed (indicator light 4 will come on if you forget), push the lever towards the right
Note: when the vehicle is stationary (braking, red light, etc.), the system au- tomatically switches to the most suita- ble gear.
Accelerating and overtaking
To obtain maximum vehicle perform- ance, in automatic or manual mode se- lected, quickly depress the accelerator pedal beyond the kickdown point.
This will activate the kickdown func- tion allowing you to change down to the most suitable gear.
Audible warning
If you leave the vehicle with the engine
running when in gear, an audible warn- ing will sound. You must switch to neu- tral before leaving the vehicle.

Parking distance control
This function is an addi- tional aid that indicates the distance between the vehi- cle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or respon- sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always pay atten- tion to sudden incidents during driv- ing: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeu- vring.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehi- cle’s rear bumper, measure the dis- tance between the vehicle and an ob- stacle when reversing.
This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 30 centi- metres from the obstacle.
There is a beep when changing to re- verse gear.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating fault there will be a 5-second, contin- uous warning beep when reverse gear is selected. Consult an approved dealer.
PARkING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain noises (motorcy- cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the beeping sound.
