Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised temporarily   (approximately   2   seconds)   when  
s

tarting   on   a   gradient,   the   time   it   takes   to  
m

ove   your   foot   from   the   brake   pedal   to   the  
a

ccelerator

This
  system   only   operates   when:
-
 
t

y

our   foot   on   the   brake   pedal,
-
 
c
ertain   conditions   of   slope   are   met,
-
 
w
ith   the   driver’s   door   closed.
The
  hill   start   assist   system   cannot   be  
d

eactivated. On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationary, the vehicle is held momentarily
when you release the brake pedal, provided
that:
-
 
y
ou   are   in   first   gear   or   neutral   with   a  
m

anual
 g
earbox,
-
 
y
ou   are   in   position   D with an electronic
gearbox.Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning l amps   come   on,   accompanied   by   an   alert

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"  warning   lamp   comes   on i
n   the   instrument   panel   and   the   engine g

oes   into   standby   automatically:
-
 
w

ith a manual gearbox , when stationary,
in
 
neutral,   and   you   release   the   clutch  
ped

al.
-
 
w

ith an electronic gearbox , when
stationary
  or   at   speeds   below   5   mph  
(

8 km/h)   (depending   on   version),   in   neutral  
(

control   on   N)
  or   when   you   press   the   brake  
ped

al. Never
  refuel   with   the   engine   in   STOP  
m

ode;   you   must   switch   off   the   ignition  
w

ith   the   button.
For
  your   comfort,   during   parking  
m

anoeuvres,   STOP   mode   is   not  
a

vailable   for   a   few   seconds   after  
c

oming   out   of   reverse   gear.
STOP
  mode   does   not   affect   the   the  
v

ehicle's   systems,   such   as   for   example,  
b

raking,   power   steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
-  t he   vehicle   is   on   a   steep   slope   (rising   or  
f

alling),
-
 
t
he   driver's   door   is   open,
-
 
t
he   driver's   seat   belt   is   not   fastened,
-
 
t
he   vehicle   has   not   exceeded   6   mph  
(

10 km/h)   since   the   last   engine   start   by   the  
d

river,
-
 
t
he   engine   is   needed   to   maintain   a  
c

omfortable   temperature   in   the   passenger  
c

ompartment,
-
 
d

e

ngine   temperature,   braking   assistance,  
a

mbient   temperature...)   where   the   engine   is  
n

eeded   to   assure   control   of   a   system.
In this case, the "ECO"
 

warning  
l

amp   flashes   for   a   few   seconds   then  
g

oes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
I t   controls   the   steering   while   the   driver   manages   the   accelerator,   brakes,   gears   and   clutch   (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   manoeuvre   safe.   It   may   be   necessary   to   move  
f

or wards   and   backwards   more   than   once.
The
  Park   Assist   system   cannot   in   any  
c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
  driver   must   remain   in   control   of  
t

heir   vehicle   ensuring   that   the   space  
r

emains   clear   during   the   manoeuvre.
In
  some   circumstances,   the   sensors  
m

ay   not   detect   small   obstacles   located  
i

n   their   blind   spots. Changing
  tyre   sizes   (out-size   tyres,  
w

inter   tyres,   ...)   can   inter fere   with  
t

he   correct   operation   of   the   parking  
a

ssistance   system.
During
  a   manoeuvre   the   steering   wheel  
t

urns   quickly:   do   not   hold   the   steering  
w

heel,   do   not   place   your   hand   between  
t

he   spokes   of   the   steering   wheel   and  
t

ake   care   with   loose   and   bulky   clothing,  
s

carves,   handbags...   There   is   a   risk   of  
in

jury. For
  entry   into   a   parking   space   (parallel  
p

arking)   the   system   does   not   detect  
s

paces   which   are   clearly   much   smaller  
o

r   larger   than   the   size   of   the   vehicle.
This
  "parking   assistance"   system  
i

s   activated   automatically   during  
m

anoeuvres;   it   is   therefore   possible  
t

hat   a   symbol   comes   on   in   the   screen,  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal,  
w

ithout   affecting   the   manoeuvre.The
  selection   of   the   type   of   manoeuvre  
(

entering   or   exiting   a   parallel   parking  
s

pace)   prevents   a   change   to   STOP  
m

ode   of   Stop   &   Start.
In
  STOP   mode,   this   selection   restarts  
t

he
 eng
ine.
The
  driver   can   take   control   at   any   time   by   gripping   the   steering   wheel.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block   traffic:   the   ground   must   be   level,  
s

table   and   not   slippery.
Apply
  the   parking   brake,   switch   off   the  
i

gnition   and   engage   first   gear   to   block  
t

he   wheels.
Check
  that   the   parking   brake   warning  
l

amps   in   the   instrument   panel   come   on.
The
  occupants   must   get   out   of   the  
v

ehicle   and   wait   where   they   are   safe.
Ensure
  that   the   jack   is   correctly  
p

ositioned   at   one   of   the   vehicle's  
j

acking   points.
Incorrect
  use   of   the   jack   could   cause  
t

he   vehicle   to   drop.
Never
  go   underneath   a   vehicle   raised  
u

sing   a   jack;   use   an   axle   stand.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Use

Take
 
account
 
of
 
the
 
legislation

chains
 
and
