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). 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 while driving, this indicates a
fault in the braking system.
In such cases, the ABS and emergency
brake assist are also deactivated and,
depending on the vehicle, the mes -
sages “check ABS” and “check brak -
ing system” appear on the instrument
panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
DriVing cOrrEctiOn DEVicES (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– abS (anti-lock braking system);
– 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
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.

Emergency brake assist
This is an additional system to ABS
which helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the brak-
ing assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger ABS
regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is not released.

Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti -
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored.
The green
and indicator lights
on the instrument panel go out, con -
firming that the function is deactivated.
recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing button 5 (R), on con-
dition that you are driving faster than
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and
that you are sure that the driving condi -
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface
condition, weather conditions, etc.).
nb : if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– the brake pedal;
– move to neutral position;
– switch 4 (O).
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
stored.
Standby is confirmed when the green
warning light goes out and the
“stored” message appears on the in -
strument panel.
cruiSE cOntrOl, SPEED liMitEr: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper”
in Section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional lights
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and refit
the antenna after washing.
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe
-
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
Respect local regulations about wash -
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
If it is necessary to clean mechani -
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.

Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, 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.
vehicles with a matte paint
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub too hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
y ou should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle
sponge.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur -
er’s accessory outlets.
Washing the vehicle
Never wash the engine
compartment, the charging
connection or the traction
battery with a high-pressure jet.
This risks damaging the electric cir-
cuit.
Never wash the vehicle while it is
charging.
Risk of electric shock and a risk to
life.
