the complete release of the parking
brake is confirmed by the brake
indicator lamp and the P indicator
lamp in the control lever going off,
accompanied by the display of the
message "Parking brake released".
When stationary with the engine running, do not
depress the accelerator pedal unnecessarily,
you risk releasing the parking brake.
Automatic application
Application of of the parking brake
is confirmed by illumination of
the brake indicator lamp and the
P indicator lamp in the control lever,
accompanied by the display of the
message "Parking brake applied".
With the engine stalled or in S

t
h

a higher gear.
th
e information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
can be accompanied by the recommended

th
e system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
th
e system never suggests:

ging reverse gear,
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Operation
On certain Diesel versions with
manual gearbox, the system may
suggest changing into neutral (
N is
displayed in the instrument panel) so
that the engine can go into standby
(Stop mode with Stop & Start), in
certain driving conditions.
the
gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory.
th
is is because the configuration of the road,
traffic density and safety remain important
factors in the choice of the best gear.

instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the

the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.

Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode
and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R.
th
is will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.

-
i

Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
the "ECO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
W
ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary
(depending on the engine), when you place
the gear lever in neutral, and you release
the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in S
tO
P
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, S
tO
P mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
S
tO
P mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
StOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (up or down),
-
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
driver,
-
t
he electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
a time counter calculates the time spent
in S
tO
P mode during a journey.In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes

Park Assist
this system provides active assistance with
parking, detecting a parking space then
controlling the steering to park in the space.
It 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 manoeuvres
safe. It may be necessary to move for wards
and backwards more than once.During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and
take care with loose and bulky clothing,
scarves, handbags...
t

ere is a risk of
injury.
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to S
tO
P mode of
Stop & Start. In S
tO
P mode, activation
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
th
e Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
th
e driver must remain in control
of their vehicle ensuring that the
space remains clear throughout the
manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in their blind spots.
th
e driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.th e Park Assist system provides
assistance for the following
manoeuvres:
-
e
ntry into a parallel parking space
