To release
Pull lever 4 upwards, press button 3
and then lower the lever to the floor.
To apply
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
When stationary and de -
pending on the gradient
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary to pull up
the handbrake at least two extra
notches and engage a gear (1
st or
reverse gear) for vehicles with a
manual gearbox or position P for
vehicles with an automatic trans -
mission.

When driving, ensure that
the handbrake has been
completely released (red
warning light off), risk of
overheating.
v ehicle with automatic gearbox: refer
to the information on the “Automatic
gearbox” in Section 2.
The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected with
the ignition on.
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.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved
Dealer.

ALL-wHEEL DRIvE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4wD) (3/3)
All-wheel drive system
– Depending on the driving conditions, the system may switch automatically from “2WD” to “4WD”. In this case, the
“4WD” indicator light does not come on.
– Whichever mode is selected, do not start the engine if the rear wheels are on the ground and the front wheels are in the air
(e.g. vehicle jacked up) or if they are resting on rollers.
– Do not press the mode selector switch while cornering, reversing or if the wheels are slipping. Only select the “2WD”,
“AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a straight line.
– When the engine warms up, the idle speed may be higher. Be careful when driving or stopping on slippery roads with the
“AUTO” mode selected.
– Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
– Snow chains must only be fitted to the front wheels.
– This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to
suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not en-
courage you to drive more quickly. Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).
– It is recommended not to use “4WD Lock” mode permanently when driving on roads in good condition.
– Always ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting tyres
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels may have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.

Parking sensor
Operating principle
On equipped vehicles, ultrasonic sen -
sors fitted in the vehicle’s rear and/or
front bumper measure the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle
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.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors are
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil -
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/3)
Front parking distance
control
(Depending on the vehicle)
Operation
when moving forwards at less than
7 mph (12 km/h), when any object
is detected less than approximately
1 metre from the front of the vehicle: a
beep sounds.
Automatic activation/deactivation of
front parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 7 mph (12 km/h);
– When the vehicle is stationary for
more than three seconds: only in the
case that the vehicle speed dropped
from above approximately 7 mph
(12 km/h) and an obstacle is more
than 30 centimetres away from the
vehicle (e.g., traffic jam);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/3)
Automatic activation/deactivation of
rear parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the electronic parking brake is
applied;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 7 mph (12 km/h);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes.
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.
If there are obstacles located close to
both the front and rear of the vehicle,
only the closest of the two will be ac -
knowledged and the corresponding
front or rear beep sound will be emit -
ted. If obstacles are detected both to
the front and to the rear of the vehicle
at the same time, and they are both
within 30 centimetres from the vehicle,
the corresponding front and rear beeps
will be emitted alternately.
Rear parking distance control
Operation
When reversing, when any object is de-
tected approximately 1.50 metres from
the rear of the vehicle: a beep sounds.
