This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away or accelerating.
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).
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. 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.

EMERGENcY BRAKE ASSIST
This system is complementary to the
ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system allows an emergency brak-
ing situation to be detected via a sensor
that measures the speed with which the
brake pedal is depressed. In this case,
the braking assistance instantly pro -
vides its maximum power.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights
activation
These may light up in the event of rapid
deceleration.
In this case, the hazard warning lights
may be switched off by pressing the
hazard warning lights switch twice.

Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault there will be a 5-second, continu -
ous warning beep when reverse gear is
selected. Consult an approved dealer.
When the vehicle is being driven
at a speed below 7 mph (12 km/h),
certain noises (motorcycle, lorry,
pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the
beeping sound.
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 detectors, installed in the
front or rear bumper depending on the
vehicle, measure the distance between
the vehicle and an obstacle whilst re -
versing.
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 32 centi -
metres from the obstacle.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors are
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

t yre pressures
Tyre pressures must be adhered to (in-
cluding the emergency spare wheel).
Pressures must be checked at least
once a month and always before a long
journey (refer to the label affixed to the
edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding;
– the risk of blow-outs or of throw-
ing a tread.
Tyre pressures depend on the load
and the driving speed. Adjust the
pressures according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
never deflate a hot tyre.
n ote: depending on the vehicle, the
tyre pressures are indicated on a label
affixed to the edge of the driver’s door.
changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Each of the sensors incor -
porated in the valves is
dedicated to a single wheel:
under no circumstances
should you swap the wheels.
There is a risk of incorrect informa-
tion which could have serious con -
sequences.
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss -
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
