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.).
Driver correction devices and aids
Operating faults:
– If the
x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while driv-
ing, braking is still operational ;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
In such cases, ABS, ESP and emer -
gency brake assist are also deactivated
and, depending on the vehicle, the
messages “CHECK ABS” and “CHECK
ESP” appear on the instrument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/3)
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
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– t h e A bS ( a n t i - l o c k b r a k i n g
system);
– electronic stability control ESP
with understeer control and trac -
tion control ASR;
– emergency brake assist with, de -
pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/3)
Electronic stability control
ESP with understeer control
and traction control ASR
Electronic stability control 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
 flashes on the instrument panel. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced under
-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction 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.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
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.

The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
Cruise control
CRUISE CONTROl/SPEED lIMITER: cruise control function (1/4)
2453
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
This function is an addi -
tional driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum -
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip -
pery roads (black ice, aquaplan -
ing, gravel) and during bad weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.

Parking distance control
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 sensors, fitted in the vehi -
cle’s rear bumper, measure the dis -
tance between the vehicle and an ob -
stacle when reversing.
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 25 centi -
metres from the obstacle.
There is a beep when reverse gear is
engaged. If the beep sounds for a long
time (3 seconds), this signals an oper-
ating fault.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic
sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
PARkING DISTANCE CONTROl (1/2)
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.: de -
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved dealer.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– r eduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance. This may be caused
by the passenger compartment
filter cartridge becoming clogged.
– no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the envi-
ronment
Drive with the air vents on and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.
Air COnDitiOninG: information and advice on use
note
Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection
frequency.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the remote control unit inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child may endanger himself or others by starting the
vehicle, activating equipment such as the electric windows, or locking the doors.
If any part of the body becomes trapped, reverse the direction of the window im-
mediately by pressing the relevant switch. Risk of serious injury .

It does not need to be serviced; never
open cover 1 on the battery.
Battery
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BA tteR y (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
When the ignition is off, some consum-
ers may also be switched off (dipped
beam headlights, radio, ventilation,
etc.). On the instrument panel, the
message “battery saving mode” or “batt
save” appears when they are switched
off . When the level is extremely low,
the message “low battery, start engine”
is displayed.
The charge status of the battery can
decrease, especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops, etc.;
– with the vehicle stopped and the
engine off.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.
