Windscreen and headlamp wash
Windscreen wash
F Pull the windscreen wiper stalk towards you. The windscreen wash then the
windscreen wipers operate for a fixed
period.
It operates only when the headlamps are off or
the vehicle is stationary.
Low screenwash / headlamp
wash fluid level
On vehicle fitted with headlamp washers, the
low level of this fluid is indicated by gauge in
the reservoir filler neck under the bonnet.
Checking and topping up this fluid can should
be done with the engine off.
The level of this fluid should be
checked regularly, particularly during
w i n t e r.
Refer to the "Checks - Screenwash / headlamp
wash level" section for the procedure on
checking the level.
Headlamp wash
Associated with the windscreen wash, the
headlamp washers operate with the vehicle
moving, when the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on .
To reduce the consumption of the fluid
by the headlamp washers, they operate
only with every seventh use of the
screenwash or every 25 miles (40 km)
during a given journey.

Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (
d
SC)
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.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control .
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of adhesion.

audible signal and a message in the screen, if a
rear passenger has unfastened their seat belt.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h),
this warning lamp flashes for two minutes
accompanied by an audible signal of increasing
volume. Once these two minutes have elapsed,
this warning lamp remains on until the one or
more rear passengers fasten their seat belt.
