Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle’s main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
t a k e n i l l , u n d e r i n s t r u c t i o n , e t c ) a c o n -
tinuous pull on the control lever A will
stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
( E S P ) p r o v i d e s s t a b i l i t y d u r i n g d y -
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed in the
multifunction screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the light-
ing of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not
guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on control lever A .
The dynamic emergency
braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the ease of fully
automatic operation or the driving
pleasure of manual gear changing.
There is a choice of two driving
modes:
- automatic operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- manual operation for sequen-
tial changing of the gears by the
driver.
automatic mode: selector 1 in
position D ,
sequential mode: selector 1 in
position M . The position of the selector lever is
displayed on the instrument panel,
on the left on the
A and C multifunc-
tion screens and on the right on the
MyWay and NaviDrive multifunction
screens.
A grille associated with the selector
lever also allows you to see the se-
lected position. Position
P can only be dis-
engaged if pressing the
brake pedal.
On opening a door, there is an au-
dible signal if the selector lever is
not in position P .
In all circumstances, ensure that
the selector lever is in position P
before leaving your vehicle.
If the gearbox is in position P but
the position of the selector lever is
different, reposition the selector le-
ver on P so that you can start the
vehicle.
Never press the brake and ac-
celerator pedals simultaneously.
Braking and acceleration should
be done only with the right foot.
Pressing both pedals simultane-
ously introduces a risk of damage
to the gearbox.
