Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main servicebrake, a continuous pull on the control lever Awill stop the vehicle.
The dynamic stability control provides stability
during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, themessage "Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed.
If a failure of the DSC s
ystem is
signalled by the lighting of this
warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed.In this event, stability must be assured by thedriver by repeating alternate "pull-release" actions on the control lever A.
Emergency parking brake release
)if your vehicle has one, take out the vehicle chock B , located under the boot floor. )On a slope, immobilise the vehicle byplacing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels, opposing the slope. On level ground, immobilise the vehicle byplacing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels.
In the event o
f fault with the electric parkingbrake or a battery failure, an emergencymechanical control can be used to manually
releasethe parking brake. ) Immobilise the vehicle (or chock it if the
brake pedal has not been released), with
the engine running, by engaging first gear (manual gearbox, position P(automatic gearbox) or M or R(electronic gear control
gearbox). ) Switch of the engine, but leave the ignition on. If you are unable to immobilise the
vehicle, do not operate this control and

Push the lever towards the -sign to change down a gear.
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be takeninto account when the vehicle isimmobilised. A warning lamp appears in the instrument panel screen.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox willnot change up unless the driver acts onthe gear lever or the steering mountedpaddles. Never select neutral N
while the vehicleis moving. Only engage reverse gear Rwhen thevehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
A

appears with thegears engaged successively, in the instrument panel screen.
The
gear change commands are only carried
out if the engine speed permits.It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes. When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to permitacceleration in the correct gear. This selective
gear change mode enables you
to over take, for example, while still remaining in automatic mode. )Operate the + or -

Stop & Start
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and theengine goes into standby:
-
with the electronic gearbox system, at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the
brake pedal or put the gear lever inposition N .
I
f your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the ke
y.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parking maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear. STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode notavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last engine star t using
the key,
- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the
"ECO"warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
