do not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in
the highest gear, or 2,500 rpm. After
completing this mileage you may drive
faster, although it is only after approxi -
mately 3,600 miles (6,000 km) have
been covered that you may reasonably
expect full performance.
During the running in period, do not ac-

In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
Feature when starting the engine, if the
outdoor temperature is very low (below
- 10 ° C): hold down the clutch pedal
until the engine starts.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the key inside the vehi-
cle and never leave a child
(or a pet) unsupervised, even for a
short while.
There is a risk that they could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely . Once the engine has
stopped, the brake servo, pow -
erassisted steering, etc., and the
passive safety devices such as
air bags and pretensioners will no
longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key
is removed.

Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– ABS (anti-lock braking system);
– electronic stability program (eSP)
with understeer control and trac -
tion control (ASR);
– emergency brake assist.
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:
– If indicator lights
x and © light up on the instrument panel,
braking is still operational but
without ABS;
– If indicator lights
x, û,
© and D are displayed on
the instrument panel when driving,
this indicates there is a fault with
the braking system and ABS.
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).
