  by   turning   the   key   to   position   3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,  
u

Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument   panel   then   operate   the   starter m

otor   by   turning   the   key   to   position 3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,
 u

ntil   the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is
 r

unning,   release   the   key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can   stay   on   for   a   longer   period.   When  
t

he   engine   is   hot,   the   warning   lamp  
d

oes   not   come   on. In
  temperate   conditions,   do   not   leave  
t

he   engine   at   idle   to   warm   up   but   move  
o

ff   straight   away   and   drive   at   moderate  
s

peed.
Never   leave   the   engine   running   in  
a

n   enclosed   area   without   adequate  
v

entilation:
 in
ternal
 c
ombustion
 e

ngines   emit   toxic   exhaust   gases,  
s

uch   as   carbon   monoxide.   Danger   of  i
ntoxication   and   death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures
  below   -23°C),   to   ensure  
t

he correct operation and durability of
the
  mechanical   components   of   your  
v

ehicle,   engine   and   gearbox,   it   is  
n

ecessary   to   leave   the   engine   running  
f

or   4   minutes   before   moving   off.
If
  the   engine   does   not   start   straight  
a

way,   switch   off   the   ignition.   Wait   a   few  
m

oments   before   operating   the   starter  
m

otor   again.   If   the   engine   does   not  
s

tart   after   several   attempts,   do   not   keep  
t

rying:   you   risk   damaging   the   starter  
m

otor   or   the   engine.

Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking  
a

nd   contributes   towards   improved   control   in  
c

orners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The
  ABS   prevents   wheel   lock   in   the   event   of  
em

ergency
 b
raking.
The
  electronic   brake   force   distribution   system  
m

anages   the   braking   pressure   wheel   by   wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly   and   therefore   reduce   the   stopping  
di

stance.
It
  is   triggered   according   to   the   speed   at   which  
t

he   brake   pedal   is   pressed.   This   is   felt   by   a  
r

eduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase
  in   the   effectiveness   of   the   braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control)   optimises   traction   in   order   to   limit  
w

heel   slip   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the   driving  
w

heels   and   on   the   engine.   It   also   improves  
t

he directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed   by   the   vehicle   and   that   required   by  
t

he   driver,   the   DSC   monitors   each   wheel   and  
a

utomatically   acts   on   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
w

heels   and   on   the   engine   to   return   the   vehicle  
t

o   the   required   path,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws  
o

f   physics.
