éhazard warning lights
Press switch 2 . This switch il -
luminates all four direction indicators
and the side-mounted indicator lights
simultaneously. It must only be used in
an emergency to warn drivers of other
vehicles that you have had to stop in
an area where stopping is prohibited or
unexpected or that you are obliged to
drive under special conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on automati -
cally under heavy deceleration. You can
switch them off by pressing switch 2.
Direction indicators
Move stalk 1 parallel to the steering
wheel and in the direction you are going
to turn it.
When driving on the motorway, the
steering wheel is not often turned

electronic stability program
eSP with understeer control
and traction control ASr
electronic stability program eSP
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi -
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
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. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding).
t
raction control ASr
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
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 au -
tomatically until the drive supplied be -
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again. Operating faults
When the system detects an operat
-
ing fault the message “Check ESP” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the ESP
and ASR are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

TYrEs (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures. The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af -
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Please refer to the information on “Tyre
pressures” in Section 4. 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.
special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.Fitting new tyres
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,
– risk of bursting or tread separa -
tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
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.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– It may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– It may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– It may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– It may affect the use of snow
chains.

mitted: towing on a flatbed truck or
towing on the road using the tow eye
(please see following pages).
All other cases
Only towing on a flatbed truck is per-
mitted.
Before repairs, insert the key in the igni-
tion to unlock the steering column. Turn
it to position m.
The regulations in force for breakdown
recovery must always be observed.
Towing on a flatbed truck
Breakdown recovery must be per -
formed on a flat surface under all cir -
cumstances except where the vehicle
is immobilised following a full discharge
of the traction battery. In the event of a
total energy loss, please see the follow -
ing pages.
