The USb port is located in the "AUX " box on
the centre console.
It permits the connection of a portable device,
such as a digital audio player of the iPod
®
generation 5 and later type or USB memory
stick type.
It reads the audio file formats (mp3, ogg,
wma, wav...) which are transmitted to your
audio equipment and played via the vehicle's
speakers.
You can manage these files using the steering
mounted controls or the audio equipment
control panel and display them on the
multifunction screen.

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
F
I n the event of a puncture, use the

i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,

F

i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
a

label attached to the middle pillar, left hand
side, gives a reminder of this.
be

fore reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Safety

106
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the brake
of one or more wheels and on the engine to
keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by
the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), if you are unable to make progress,
it may be advisable to temporarily deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can spin
freely and allow the vehicle to move.
F

P
ress the "ESP OFF" button, located near
the steering wheel.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel
and the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this
indicates that these systems are deactivated.
It is recommended that the systems be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
F

P
ress the "ESP OFF" button again to
reactivate them manually.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, this
indicates a fault with these systems.
Have it checked by a CITR
oËn


dealer or a qualified workshop.
The trajectory control systems offer
increased safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems is assured provided that
manufacturer's recommendations are
observed on:
-

w
heels (tyres and rims),
-

-
el

ectronic components,
-

af

ter an impact, have these systems
