all four tyres to “motorway pressure”
(refer to the label located on the label
on the edge of the driver’s door).
“Wheel sensors missing”
One wheel A disappears, indicating
that the sensor on this wheel is missing
or faulty (e.g. if the emergency spare
wheel is fitted).
“Stop! Tyre puncture”
Replace the wheel B concerned or call
your approved dealer.
This message appears along with the
û warning light.
Operating faults
In certain conditions involving readjust-
ment of tyre pressures, the fault mes -
sage may continue to be displayed (for
approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes
after the vehicle has stopped).

Electronic Stability Program: ESP
ELEcTRONIc STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP
This system helps to keep control of
the vehicle in critical driving situations
(avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip when
cornering, etc.) and works in conjunc -
tion with the understeer control system.
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
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 the direction se-
lected by the driver and the actual di -
rection of the vehicle and corrects this
as necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the engine
power. When the function begins to operate,
warning light
A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accom -
panied by the “ESP deactivated” mes -
sage when the engine is started, turn
the steering wheel from lock to lock to
reinitialise the system.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the message “Check ESP” ap-
pears on the instrument panel along
with the
ú warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.

TRAcTION cONTROL: ASR (1/2)
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.

Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel -
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The message “‘ESP deactivated” ap -
pears to inform you, accompanied by
warning light A.
Disabling the function also disables the
ESP function.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
Traction control is automatically reacti-
vated when the ignition is switched on.
Operating faults
If the system detects an operating fault,
the message “Check ESP” is displayed
on the instrument panel display along
with the
ú warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.
If the warning light comes on accom -
panied by the “ESP deactivated” mes -
sage when the engine is started, turn
the steering wheel from lock to lock to
reinitialise the system.

Anti-lock braking system: ABS
ANTI-LOcK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS
Under heavy braking, the essential re-
quirements are to limit the stopping
distance and keep your vehicle under
control. However, there is a risk that
roadholding and directional control
may be lost and the wheels may lock
under braking, depending on the nature
of the ground, weather conditions and
your reactions. The Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) has been designed to
combat this danger.
The safety enhancement is that the
brake control system prevents the
wheels from locking, even if the brakes
are applied too sharply, and allows the
vehicle to be steered and thus its direc-
tion to be controlled. Under these cir -
cumstances it is quite possible for the
driver to steer the vehicle and to avoid
an obstacle whilst at the same time ap-
plying the brake. This system also allows you to optimise
stopping distances when the grip of one
or more wheels may be lost (wet roads,
slippery or varying road surfaces).
Although this system allows you to ben-
efit from optimum stopping distances,
even with the ABS you must still take
account of the actual condition of the
road surface. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front).
The fact that the ve-
hicle’s safety has been increased
should not encourage you to take
risks.You will feel pulsing through the brake
pedal each time the system is activated.
These tangible signs will warn you that
the adhesion between the tyres and the
ground has reached its limit and enable
you to adapt your driving style to suit
the road conditions.

AUTOMATIc GEARBOX (continued)
Driving in automatic mode
Select 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 because the automatic
system takes into account the vehicle
load and road contour and adjusts itself
to the particular driving style you have
chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
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.
Driving in manual mode
With the lever in position D, shift the
lever to the left-hand side.
Shifting lever 1 repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards,
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear ratio engaged appears on the
instrument panel. Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.:
engine protection, operation of the
electronic stability program: ESP), the
automated system may change the
gear automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu
-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
Using an emergency spare wheel may
disrupt the operation of the automatic
gearbox.

AUTOMATIc GEARBOX (continued)
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gear 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.
– v ehicles 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 starting.
Parking the vehicle
When 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.
check that the parking brake is prop-
erly applied (refer to the information on
the “Parking brake” in Section 2).
