PARKING DISTANcE cONTROL (continued)
v ehicles fitted with front and
rear parking distance control
Operation
As long as the vehicle is being driven
at a speed below 7 mph (12 km/h) or
thereabouts, the parking distance con-
trol system remains on.
Any object located less than approxi -
mately 60 centimetres away from the
front of the vehicle is detected and a
beep is emitted. When reverse gear is selected
, the
system switches automatically to ma -
noeuvre mode.
Any object located less than approxi -
mately 1 metre away from the front and/
or less than 1.50 metres from the rear
of the vehicle is detected and a beep
sound is emitted.
If there are obstacles located close to
both the front and rear of the vehicle,
only the closest of the two will be ac -
knowledged and the corresponding
front or rear beep sound will be emitted.
If obstacles are detected both to the
front and to the rear of the vehicle at
the same time, and they are both within
30 centimetres from the vehicle, the
corresponding front and rear beeps will
be emitted alternately.
Manual activation/
deactivation of the front and
rear parking distance control
Press switch 1 quickly to deactivate the
system.
The warning light on the switch comes
on to remind you that the system has
been deactivated; the message “park -
ing distance control deactivated” ap -
pears on the instrument panel for ap -
proximately 10 seconds.
You can reactivate the system by press-
ing the switch again: the warning light
will go out and the message “parking
distance control activated” will be dis -
played on the instrument panel for ap-
proximately 10 seconds.
The system will reactivate automatically
each time the engine is switched off.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking 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 approved
Dealer.

PARKING DISTANcE cONTROL (continued)
Manual activation/
deactivation of the front and
rear parking distance control
You can deactivate the system perma-
nently by pressing switch 1 and hold -
ing it down for approximately three sec-
onds
The warning light in the switch stays
on and the message “parking dis -
tance control deactivated” appears on
the instrument panel for approximately
10 seconds. In this case you can reactivate the
system by pressing and holding
switch 1 for longer than three seconds:
the warning light on the switch goes
out and the message “parking distance
control activated” will be displayed on
the instrument panel for approximately
10 seconds.
Automatic activation/
deactivation of the system
The system is activated when the vehi-
cle is being driven at a speed below ap-
proximately 7 mph (12 km/h).
The system deactivates:
–
when the parking brake is applied;
– when the vehicle speed is above
7 mph (12 km/h);
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec -
onds (such as when in a traffic jam
or waiting at red lights, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;
– if a caravan or trailer is fitted with a
detection system.

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.
