Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, warning lights
Ò and ù
light up on the instrument panel. In this
case, the ESP and ASR are deacti -
vated.
Please consult an authorised dealer if
these warning lights remain displayed
on the instrument panel after the igni -
tion is switched off and on again.
Note:
the function is automatically re -
activated when the ignition is switched
on, or when the speed exceeds 30 mph
(50 km/h) in AUTO and 2WD modes,
and approximately 36 mph (60 km/h) in
4WD Lock mode.
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
ù flashes on the instrument panel.

Selector lever 1
Display 3 on the instrument panel
shows the mode and gear selected.
P: park
R: reverse
N: neutral
D: automatic mode
4: zone displaying gearbox mode or
gear engaged in manual mode.
Operation
With the gear lever in position P or N,
switch on the ignition.
With your foot on the brake pedal, move
the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi -
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re -
leased.
You must apply the brake before
pressing the unlocking button 2 to
move out of position P.
Driving in automatic modeMove lever 1 to position D.
In the majority of traffic conditions, you
will not have to touch the gear selector
lever again: the gear will be changed
automatically at the right time and at
the most suitable engine speed be -
cause the automatic system takes into
account the vehicle load and road con-
tour and adjusts itself to the particular
driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi -
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
– If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain -
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when accelerating.Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
Operating faults
If a vehicle with an automatic gear -
box breaks down, please refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P when you are pressing the
brake pedal, the lever can be released
manually. To do this, unclip the base of
the lever, and press recess 7 and the
unlocking button 2 simultaneously.
In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

Information and advice for use:
Refer to information on “Air condition -
ing: information and advice on use”.Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control A to position the pointer
opposite the marked positions.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard vents and the
footwells.
FThe air flow is directed towards
the footwells and the dash -
board vents. Close the dashboard vents to direct all
the air to the foot wells.
iThe air flow is distributed be
-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demister outlets, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
WFor more efficient demist -
ing, close the vents in the
dashboard and ensure that you are
set to external air (control D to the
right).
All the air flow is then directed to the
windscreen demisting vents and the
front side windows.
For maximum efficiency, set control C
to 4.
Using the air conditioning increases the
speed of demisting.
Recommended demisting option :
Turn controls A, C and D to the
W
position.
This is the quickest option for de-icing
and demisting the side windows and
the windscreen.

yAdjusting the
ventilation speed
Turn control C from 0 to 4. The further
to the right it is positioned, the more air
is blown into the passenger compart -
ment. If you want to shut off the flow of
air completely and stop the system, set
control C to 0.
The system is deactivated: the ventila -
tion speed for the passenger compart-
ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),
you can however still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
Adjusting the air temperatureTurn control F.
To the right: maximum possible tem -
perature.
To the left: minimum possible tempera-
ture.
VHeated rear screen(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, press
button E (the warning light on the in -
strument panel comes on).
This function de-ices/demists the rear
screen and the electric de-icing rear -
view mirrors (depending on the vehi -
cle).
Depending on the vehicle, the function
is stopped:
– automatically after it has been run -
ning for 12 minutes (the indicator
light goes out);
– by pressing button E again (the
warning light goes out).CEF
Before using the rear wiper, check that no object is obstructing the travel of the
blade.
In frosty weather, make sure that the wiper blades are not stuck by ice (to avoid
the risk of the motor overheating).
Keep an eye on the condition of the blades. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to lose efficiency (approximately once a year).
Regularly clean your rear screen.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air condition -
ing with no automatic mode, switch
off the system when it is not re -
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the envi-
ronment
Drive with the air vents open and
the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine. Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance.
This may be caused by the pas-
senger compartment filter car -
tridge becoming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in -
spection frequency.
