STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/2)
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, accessories
(e.g. radio) stop working either when
the engine is switched off or when the
doors are locked, or when the driver’s
door is opened.
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key or remote
control inside and never
leave a child (or a pet) un-
supervised, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely. Once the engine has
stopped, the brake servo, power as-
sisted steering and passive safety
equipment such as air bags will no
longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key
is removed.

The warning light
appears on the
instrument panel to indicate that engine
standby is not available.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
Preventing the engine from
standing by
In certain situations, such as negotiat-
ing a crossroads for instance, it is pos-
sible (with the system activated) to keep
the engine running so as to be ready to
move off quickly.
Automatic or sequential gearbox
Keep the vehicle stationary without
pressing too hard on the brake pedal.
Manual gearbox
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down.
Conditions for coming out of
engine standby
For automatic or sequential gear-
box:
– the brake pedal is released, position
D engaged or,
– the brake pedal is released, position
N engaged and the handbrake off, or
– the brake pedal is pressed again,
with position P engaged or position
N engaged with the handbrake ap-
plied, or
– position R is engaged or,
– the accelerator pedal is pressed.

Handbrake
To release
Pull lever 1 up slightly, press button 2
and then lower the lever to the floor.
The red warning light on the instrument
panel will come on if you are driving
with an incorrectly released handbrake.
HANDBRAKE/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
To apply
Pull lever 1 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
Depending on the gradient
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary when station-
ary to apply the brake by
at least a further two notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear).
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

Power-assisted steering
With the engine running, do not leave
the steering wheel at full lock while sta-
tionary as this may damage the power-
assisted steering pump.
With the engine switched off, or if there
is a system fault, it is still possible to
turn the steering wheel. The force re-
quired will be greater.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/3)
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 per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. 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.).Operating faults:
– If the
x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while driv-
ing, braking is still operational;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
In this case, ABS, ESC and emergency
braking assist are also deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– of the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– electronic stability program ESC
with understeer control and trac-
tion control;
– 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).
Your braking systems
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.
