AbS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi -
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par -
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle’s physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
Driving correction devices
These include:
– t h e A bS ( a n t i - l o c k b r a k i n g
system);
– the electronic stability program
eSP with understeer control and
traction control ASr;
– emergency brake assist with, de -
pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation.
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu -
late the force applied in the braking
system.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. they do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil -
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s

However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.

These systems operate with the igni -
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger side;
3 and 5 for the rear passengers.
From the passenger seats, use
switch 6.

detects resistance when closing (e.g.
fingers, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable op -
eration of the electric win -
dows and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear doors, by
pressing switch 4. The indicator light
integrated in the switch lights up to
confirm that the locks have been ac-
tivated.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
key inside and never leave a child
(or a pet) unsupervised, even for a
short while. They may pose a risk
to themselves or to others by start-
ing the engine, activating equipment
such as the electric windows or by
locking the doors. If a body part
gets trapped, reverse the direction
of travel of the window as soon as
possible by pressing the relevant
switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

has been left behind (cloth,
tools, etc.).
Otherwise, this may lead to engine
damage.
Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Ensure that nothing is pre -

Interior trim maintenance
Glass instrument panel(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior

Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois-
tened with soapy water and then wipe
clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton
wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco -
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
InteRIOR tRIM MaIntenanCe (1/2)
textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use
cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow -
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.
