Front parking aid
The parking aid system will sound an audible warning to in-
dicate of the approach of any object towards the front or
rear of the vehicle.
Description
The acoustic parking aid system measures the distance between the vehicle
and any possible obstacle using 8 ultrasonic sensors (4 of which are loca-
ted on the rear bumper and 4 of which are located on the front bumper).
The measuring range of the sensors starts approximately and depending on
the nature of the obstacle at a distance of:
● side of the front bumper: 0.6 m
● middle of the front bumper: 1.2 m
● side of the rear bumper: 0.6 m
● middle of the rear bumper: 1.6 m
Activation
The system may be activated in the following ways:
● Engage the reverse gear (a brief, sharp acoustic signal confirms activa-
tion and the correct operation of the system) or
● Push the central console button  (a brief confirmation signal will
sound and the button’s LED will light up).
Disconnection
The system may be deactivated in the following ways:
● Drive forwards at more than approx. 10 km/h (6 mph) or else
● Press the  button, or
● Switch the ignition off Manoeuvres
The distance warning will begin as soon as an obstacle is detected in the
system's field of detection (front and rear). The frequency of the bleeps
emitted by the system will increase rapidly as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle. Two speakers, one in the front and one in the rear, indicate the lo-
cation of the obstacle (either front or rear).
After a distance lower than approximately 30 cm, a continuous signal
sounds (stop signal). At this point the driver should halt the vehicle.
Models with a factory-fitted towing bracket: When the vehicle is less than
0.35 m away from the obstacle the warning tone will sound continuously.
The driver should then not reverse any further.
The warning tone volume decreases by 30% 3 seconds after it is triggered if
the detected obstacle stays at a constant distance from the vehicle.
Provided that it is not in continuous mode, the tone on the parking aid sys-
tem stops when it detects a wall parallel to the vehicle.
Trailer towing
For vehicles factory-fitted with a towing bar, the parking aid system will not
be activated by the engagement of the reverse gear when pulling a trailer,
as the trailer's electric connector will be plugged into the vehicle.
Possible faults
If a continuous, sharp beep sounds for various seconds, there is a fault in
the parking aid system.
If the fault continues until the ignition is turned off, the audible warning of
the fault will not be emitted every time the system is reactivated (by engag-
ing the reverse gear or pressing the button). Thus, the system ready indi-
cation will not sound either. Have the fault repaired by a Technical Service
as soon as possible.
If there is no ready signal or no acoustic warning signal, then the parking
aid loudspeaker is faulty and may not warn of obstacles. To ensure that the

Cruise speed* (Cruise control system)
Description
The CCS is able to maintain the set speed in the range from
approx. 30 km/h (19 mph) to 180 km/h (112 mph). Once the speed setting has been saved, you may take your foot off the ac-
celerator.
WARNING
It could be dangerous to use the cruise control system if it is not possible
to drive at constant speed.
● Do not use the cruise control system when driving in dense traffic, on
roads with lots of bends or on roads with poor conditions (with ice, slip-
pery surfaces, loose grit or gravel), as this could cause an accident.
● Always switch the cruise control system off after using it in order to
avoid involuntary use.
● It is dangerous to use a set speed which is too high for the current
road, traffic or weather conditions. Risk of accident.
Note
The cruise control cannot maintain a constant speed when descending
downhill. The vehicle will accelerate due to its own weight. Use the foot
brake to slow the vehicle. Switching the cruise control system on and off

trol
– Press the lower part SET of the rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 126 B
once
briefly when you have reached the speed you wish to set.
When you release the rocker switch, the current speed is set and held con-
stant. 
Adjusting set speed*
The speed can be altered without touching the accelerator or
the brake. Setting a higher speed
– Press the upper part RES of the rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 126 B
to
increase the speed. The vehicle will continue to accelerate as
long as you keep the rocker switch pressed. When you release
the switch, the new speed is stored. Setting a lower speed
–
Press the lower part SET– of the rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 126 B
to
reduce the speed. The vehicle will automatically reduce its
speed for as long as you keep the switch pressed. When you re-
lease the switch, the new speed is stored.
When you increase speed with the accelerator and then release the pedal,
the system will automatically restore the set speed. This will not be the
case, however, if the vehicle speed is more than 10 km/h (6 mph) higher
than the stored speed for longer than 5 minutes. The speed will have to be
stored again.
Cruise control is switched off if you reduce speed by depressing the brake
pedal. Reactivate the control by pressing once on the upper part of the rock-
er switch RES+ ⇒  Fig. 126 B

If and when
Note
In the vehicle, there are more fuses than those indicated in this chapter.
These should only be changed by a specialised workshop. 
Replacing a blown fuse
Fig. 154 Image of a
blown fuse
Preparation
● Switch off the ignition, lights and all electrical equipment.
● Open the corresponding fuse box ⇒ page 238.
Identifying a blown fuse
A fuse is blown if its metal strip is ruptured ⇒ Fig. 154.
Point a lamp at the fuse. This will make it easier to see if the fuse is blown. To replace a fuse
●
Remove the fuse.
● Replace the blown fuse by one with an identical amperage rating (same
colour and markings) and identical size ⇒ 
.
● Replace the cover again or close the fuse box lid.
CAUTION
If you replace a fuse with higher-rating fuse, you could cause damage to an-
other part of the electrical system. 
Bulb change General notes
Before changing any bulb, first turn off the failed component.
Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands. The finger-
prints left on the glass will vaporise as a result of the heat generated by the
bulb, causing a reduction in bulb life and condensation on the mirror sur-
face, thus reducing effectiveness.
A bulb must only be replaced by one of the same type. The type is indicated
on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
Below, the light source used for all functions is broken down.

WARNING
● Take particular care when working on components in the engine com-
partment if the engine is warm. Risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The glass can break when you
touch the bulb, causing injury.
● The high voltage element of gas discharge bulbs* (xenon light) must
be handled correctly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not to injure yourself on sharp
parts in the headlight housing.

Fog light/corneringCAUTION
● Remove the ignition key before working on the electric system. Other-
wise, a short circuit could occur.
● Switch off the lights or parking lights before you change a bulb.
For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dispose of used bulbs in the prop-
er manner.
Note
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or wet), the front lights, the fog
lights, the tail lights and the turn signals may be temporarily misted. This
has no influence on the useful life of the lighting system. By switching on
the lights, the area through which the beam of light is projected will quickly
be demisted. However, the edges may continue to be misted.
● Please check at regular intervals that all lighting (especially the exterior
lighting) on your vehicle is functioning properly. This is not only in the inter-
est of your own safety, but also that of all other road users.
● Before changing a bulb, make sure you have the correct new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands, use a cloth
or paper towel instead. Otherwise, the fingerprints left on the glass will va-
porise as a result of the heat generated by the bulb, they will be deposited
on the reflector and will impair its surface. 
1)
With this type of headlight, the user can replace the turn signal bulb. Replacement of the
dipped/main beam bulb must be done by a Technical Service, given that complex elements
must be removed from the vehicle and the automatic control system that incorporates it
must be reset.
2) The Xenon bulbs discharge 2.5 times the light flux and have an average lifespan of 5 times
more than that of halogen bulbs, this means that, except due to unusual circumstances,
there is no need to change the bulbs for the whole life of the vehicle.
3) In the event that there is a fault in the LEDs, the complete headlight must be replaced.
