Invalid value in manual operation
This symbol is displayed i
f a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector
between two positions). You can temporaril
y take control of gear changes using the "+
" and "-" steering mounted control paddles. If the engine speed allows, the
instruction to change gear is acted on.
This function allows you to anticipate cer tain situations such as overtaking another vehicle or
approaching a bend.
After a few moments with no action on the control paddles, the gearbox manages thegears automatically again.

Te m p o r a ry manual control of the gears


Manual mode
Dand the gear engaged are displayed in the instrument panel.
The gearbox operates in auto-active
mode, without any action from the driver. It continuously selects the most appropriate gear
according to the following conditions:


- optimisation of fuel consumption,

- drivin
g style,

- relief of the road,

- vehicle load.


Automated mode
)
Select position D.

For maximum acceleration, without touching
the gear selector, press the accelerator fully
down (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically and maintains the gear selected
until the maximum en
gine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically for more effective engine braking.
When you take your foot of the accelerator pedal suddenly, the gearbox does not change
up, so as to improve safety.
) Select position M.)
Use the " + " and "- " steering mounted
control paddles to change gear.
The gears engaged are displayed successively
in the instrument panel.
When stationar
y or at very low speed, the gearbox automatically engages 1st
gear.
In manual mode, it is not necessary to release
the accelerator pedal when changing gear.
The change from one gear to another is onlyeffected if the conditions of vehicle speed andengine speed allow; other wise the automatic
laws of operation are imposed temporarily.
If the engine speed is too high or too low,
the display of the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the new gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change mode at any time, by moving the gear selector from D
to Mor the other way round.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes onin the instrument panel and the enginegoes into standby automatically:
-with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you place the gear lever in neutral, and you release the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox,at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N ,
- with an automatic gearbox,
with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N.If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the STA R T/STOP button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the STA R T/STOP button.
For your comfor t, during parkingmanoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...


Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph(10 km/h) since the last engine start usingthe START/STOP button,

- the electric parking brake is applied or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demistin
g is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.

In this case, the "ECO"
warning lampflashes for a few seconds then goesoff.This operation is per fectly normal.
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument panel of the near surroundings of your vehicle,
using cameras mounted at the front and rear of
your vehicle and under the door mirrors.
Dependin
g on the angle of view chosen (front
view, rear view or 360° panoramic view),360 Vision provides special visual assistance
in particular driving conditions such as when entering a blind crossing or monoeuvring in
areas of reduced visibility.Once activated, this function operates up to9 mph (15 km/h). Above 18 mph (30 km/h), thefunction is deactivated automatically.
This system is a visual aid which in nocircumstances can replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver. The images provided by the cameras may be deformed by the relief. Thepresence of areas in shade, in sunny conditions, or of low ambient light maydarken the image and reduce contrast.
Forward vision

The camera located in the front bumper isactivated and views of the areas located at frontleft and front right appear simultaneously in the
instrument panel.

Rear vision

The camera located in the tailgate is activated
and the view of the area behind your vehicle is
displayed in the instrument panel and behaveslike a reversing camera, whatever the position
of the gear selector lever.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle (excluding mirrors): they move
according to the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper, and the two
green
lines, 1 m and 2 m from the rear bumper,
respectively.

Rear vision is displayed automaticallywhen engaging reverse, regardless of the state of the system.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space. It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears andclutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information
to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be necessary to move for wards and backwards more than once.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheelturns quickly: do not hold the steeringwheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.


When Park Assist is activated, itprevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts the engine.


The Park Assist system cannot in anycircumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that thespace remains clear throughout themanoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
The driver can take control at any time bygripping the steering wheel.
The Park Assist s
ystem provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:


- entr
y into a parallel parking space

- exitin
g from a parallel parking space

- ba
y parking

The Park Assist system takes control of the power steering for a maximumof 4 manoeuvre cycles. The functionis deactivated after these 4 cycles.If you think that your vehicle is notpositioned correctly, you should then take control of the steering to carry outthe manoeuvre.

The Park Assist system cannot workwith the engine off.
