c) mileage before service.
Distance remaining until the next service (displayed in miles (kil-
ometres) and months), then when the service nears, several sce-
narios are possible:
– range less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or one month: the
message “Service due in” is displayed accompanied by the
nearest term (distance or time);
– range equal to 0 miles (0 km) or date of service reached:
the message “service vehicle” is displayed accompanied by
warning light
©.
The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the distance before a service changes according to driving style (frequent driving at low
speeds, door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trailer etc.). The distance remaining until the next service
can therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distan\
ce travelled.
Resetting the display after the service in accordance with the maintenan\
ce schedule.
The mileage before service must only be reset after a service which complies with the recommendations in the maintenance
schedule.
If you decide to change the oil more frequently, do not reset this data each time the oil is changed to avoid exceeding the re-
placement intervals for other parts in the maintenance schedule.
special note: To reset the distance before service, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 sec-
onds until the display shows the mileage permanently.

Driver correction devices/aids
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/4)
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);
– the electronic stability program
(E.S.P. ) with understeer control
and traction control (A.S.R.);
– 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.
Contact an approved dealer.
Operating faults:
–
© and x lit up on the in -
strument panel along with the mes -
sages “Check ABS”, “Check braking
system” and “Check ESP”: the ABS,
E.S.P. and emergency brake assist
are deactivated. braking safety is
still guaranteed;
–
x, D, © and ®
lit on the instrument panel accom -
panied by the message “ Braking
system fault”: this indicates a fault
with the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
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.).

Traction control (A.S.R.) offers addi -
tional safety; it is recommended that
you do not drive with the function disa-
bled. Correct this as soon as possible
by pressing switch 1 again.
Note: the function is reactivated auto -
matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer -
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig -
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel -
eration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the message “ Check brak-
ing system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.
braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma -
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig -
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the
system will not be triggered.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (3/4)
Disabling the A.S.R. function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel -
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The message “ Traction control off ” is
displayed on the instrument panel to
inform you.
