Hill descent control
This function enables the vehicle speed
to be limited to approximately 4 mph
(7 km/h), without depressing the brake
pedal (when driving down a steep hill).
Activating/deactivating the system
– Activating: press button 1 . The
message “ HDC on” appears on the
instrument panel.
– Deactivating: press button 1 again:
the message “ HDC off” appears on
the instrument panel.
Starting the system
With the vehicle travelling downhill at
less than 15 mph (25 km/h) in first or re-
verse gear (position D or R for vehicles
with an automatic transmission), press
switch 2 to switch to “4WD Lock” mode.
Once a sufficient gradient is detected,
the
• indicator light appears on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the
“HDC operational ” message.
Note: if the vehicle speed exceeds
24 mph (40 km/h), the transmission
switches automatically to “AUTO” mode
(the
• indicator light goes out).
The system can be reactivated by
pressing “4WD Lock” when the vehicle
speed drops below 24 mph (40 km/h).
1
With the engine cold, the
automatic hill descent con -
trol function can be de -
activated temporarily (the
• warning light goes out).
When the engine temperature rises,
the warning light comes on again
and the function is available.
The automatic hill descent control
system may be deactivated tempo-
rarily if there is a risk of the braking
system overheating.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.
This system does not operate when
the gear lever is in neutral (position
N or P for vehicles with an auto -
matic transmission), or if the vehicle
is travelling on flat ground.
2
The hill descent control system is de -
activated as soon as you depress the
brake pedal or the accelerator pedal,
and reactivated as soon as you release
it.

Hill start assistance
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling backwards, depending on
the slope, by automatically applying the
brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot
off the brake pedal to depress the ac -
celerator pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmis -
sions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed)
The system holds the vehicle for ap -
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope).
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit -
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-
cle from rolling backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

you choose, known as the limit speed.Switching on
Press switch 1 on the side showing .

(30 km/h).

Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelera -
tor pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).
Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any moment. To do this: press the
accelerator pedal firmly and fully
(beyond the kickdown point).
Whilst the speed is being exceeded,
the cruising speed displayed on the in-
strument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator pedal:
the speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limit speed: the stored speed will flash
on the instrument panel information dis-
play to inform you of this situation.
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.
v arying the limit speedTo vary the limit speed, press switch 2
(+) repeatedly to increase the speed or
switch 5 (-) to decrease.

Putting the function on
standby
The speed limiter function is suspended
when you press switch 4 (O). In this
case, the limit speed remains stored
and the message “Memorised ” appears
on the instrument panel,
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing switch 3 (R).
When the speed limiter is sus -
pended, pressing switches 2 (+)
or 5 (-) reactivates the function with-
out taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the
vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is deacti -
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The instru-
ment panel orange indicator light

goes out, confirming that the function is
deactivated.

Cruise control
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage
and increase switch (+).
3 Cruising speed activation, storage
and recall (R).
4 Switch the function to standby (with
stored cruising speed) (O).
5 Cruising speed activation, storage
and decrease switch (–).
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).
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
circumstances replace the driver’s
responsibility 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 winding or slippery roads
(black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and
during bad weather (fog, rain, side
winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.

Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above approxi -
mately 20 mph (30 km/h)) press
switch 2 (+) or 5 (-): the function is acti-
vated and the speed is stored.
Cruise control activation is confirmed
when indicator light 6 is lit up in green
in addition to indicator light 7.
Driving
Once a cruising speed is stored and
the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera -
tor pedal.
Important: you are never -
theless advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react if neces -
sary.

Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch 5 (-) to decrease the speed.
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera -

the cruising speed flashes on the in -
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa -
