Tyre under-inflation detection
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which informs
you of the state of your tyres.
It does not replace either vigilance or
responsibility on the part of the driver. Economy mode
After switching off the engine, some sys-
tems (radio, wipers, electric windows,
opening roof, electric seats, telephone,
video, interior lighting, motorised tail-
gate, etc.) are supplied electrically for a
maximum of no more than around one
hour, so as to avoid discharging the
battery.
This period may be reduced considerably
if the battery’s state of charge is low.
Once this period is over, a message
is displayed in the instrument panel
screen and the active functions are
placed in standby.
These functions will be automatically re-
activated when the vehicle is restarted.

to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:
- The vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal.
- In certain conditions on a gradient.
- With the driver’s door closed.
Before leaving the
vehicle, check that
warning lamp
A (!)
(red) in the instrument
panel is on fi xed (not fl ashing) and that
warning lamp P (red) in control B is on.
Automatic operation
The electric parking brake releases

vehicle stationary, the parking brake

is automatically applied when the
