TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and 
traction control when driving off-
road
When driving on soft ground (sand, 
mud, deep snow), we recommend that 
you deactivate the ESC function by 
pressing the “ESC” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel brak-
ing remains active. This function ap-
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be 
transferred to the wheels with the most 
grip. This is particularly useful when 
crossing a bridge.
All the ESC functions will be reactivated 
when the vehicle speed reaches ap-
proximately 30 mph (50 km/h) (36 mph 
(60 km/h) in 4WD Lock mode), when 
the engine is restarted or when the 
“ESC” switch is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating 
fault, it automatically switches to “2WD” 
mode, and the 
‘ and © warn-
ing lights come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a moder-
ate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system 
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or 
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re-
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as 
possible.
After stopping the engine, the system 
may take up to five minutes to cool 
down.
If the system detects excessive wheel-
spin on the front wheels, it adapts the 
engine to run in a way that reduces 
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in 
LOCK mode
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the 
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this 
case, the wheels may lock intermit-
tently to achieve better grip, thus reduc-
ing braking distances on soft ground. 
When this mode is active:
–  the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is lim- ited during braking. This operating 
mode is therefore not recommended 
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
–  there may be some noise. This is  normal, and does not indicate an op-
erating fault.

TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (4/4)
All-wheel drive system
– Irrespective of the mode selected, do not start the engine if one or mor\
e wheels are not in contact with the ground 
(eg. when the vehicle is on a jack or roller bench).
– Do not turn the mode selector when cornering, reversing or if the wheels\
 are spinning excessively. Only select the 
“2WD”, “AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a str\
aight line.
–  Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
–  “4WD Lock” mode is exclusively reserved for driving  off-road. The use of this mode in any other conditions may adversely 
affect the vehicle’s manoeuvrability and damage its mechanical components.
–  Always ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four\
 wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting  tyres 
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels m\
ay have serious consequences for the tyres, 
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.

2.49
Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Consult 
an authorised dealer.
Note: When the engine is started, the 
indicator light 4 (display  B) flashes 
three times. It is normal.
– The system’s detection 
range operates according 
to a standard lane width. If 
you are driving in wide traf-
fic lanes, the system might not 
be able to detect a vehicle in the 
blind spot.
–  The system might be disrupted  momentarily if it is exposed to 
strong electromagnetic waves 
(as beneath high-tension power 
lines) or to very poor weather 
conditions (heavy rain, snow, 
etc.). Remain aware of driving 
conditions.
There is a risk of accidents.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (4/4)
Because sensors have 
been installed in the bump-
ers, any work (repairs, re-
placements, touching up of 
paintwork) must be carried out by a 
qualified professional.

Choice of manoeuvre
The system can perform four types of 
manoeuvres:
– parallel parking;
– perpendicular parking;
– angle parking;
– moving out of a parallel parking space.
From the multifunction screen, select 
the manoeuvre to be performed.
Note: When starting the vehicle, or 
after successfully completed parallel 
parking using the system, the default 
manoeuvre proposed by the system is 
assistance in exiting a parallel parking 
space. In other cases, the default ma-
noeuvre can be set from the multifunc-
tion screen.
ASSISTED PARKING (2/4)
Operation
Parking
As long as the vehicle speed is less 
than 20 mph (30 km/h), the system 
looks for available parking spaces on 
both sides of the vehicle.
Once a space has been found, it is dis-
played on the multifunction screen, indi-
cated by a small letter “P”. Drive slowly, 
with the indicators activated on the side 
of the space, until the message “Stop” 
is displayed, alongside a beep. 
The space is then indicated on the mul-
tifunction screen by a capital “P”.
–  Stop the vehicle;
–  select reverse gear.
Warning light 
\f lights up on the in-
strument panel, along with a beep.
–  release the steering wheel;
–  follow the system instructions pro- vided on the multifunction screen. Your speed should not exceed around 4 
mph (7 km/h).
Once the warning light 
\f on the 
instrument panel goes off and a beep 
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.

2.69
ASSISTED PARKING (3/4)
Your speed should not exceed around 
4 mph (7 km/h).
Once in position to exit the space, the 
system will notify you of the end of the 
manoeuvre.
Once the warning light 
\f on the 
instrument panel goes off and a beep 
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.
Suspending the manoeuvreThe manoeuvre is suspended in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
–  you take control of the wheel;
–  a door or the boot is opened;
–  the vehicle is at a standstill for too  long;
–  an obstacle in the direction of move- ment prevents the manoeuvre from 
being completed;
–  the engine will stop.
Once the warning light 
\f on the 
instrument panel goes off and a beep 
sounds, the manoeuvre has been sus-
pended. Then to resume the manoeu-
vre, press and hold the system activa-
tion switch. In this case, the reason for suspending 
the manoeuvre will be displayed on the 
multifunction screen.
Make sure:
–  you have released the steering wheel 
and;
–  that all doors and the boot are closed,  and;
–  that no obstacles are in the way of  the direction of movement, and;
–  that the engine is started.
Cancelling the manoeuvre
The manoeuvre can be stopped in the 
following cases:
– by pressing the system activation  switch;
– the vehicle speed has exceeded  4 mph (7 km/h);
–  You have performed more than ten  forwards/backwards movements in 
one manoeuvre;
–  the parking distance control sensors  are dirty or blocked;
–  the vehicle wheels have skidded.
Once the warning light 
\f on the 
instrument panel goes off and a beep 
sounds, the manoeuvre has been 
ended.
Exiting a parallel parking space
–  Select “exit parallel parking space”  mode;
–  activate the direction indicator on the  side you wish to go out of;
– press and hold switch 1  (around 
2 seconds).
Warning light 
\f lights up on the in-
strument panel, along with a beep.
–  release the steering wheel;
–  go forwards and backwards using  the parking distance control system 
alerts.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (for exam-
ple, engine protection, operation of the 
Electronic Stability Programme: the au-
tomatic system may change gear auto-
matically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by 
the automatic system: in this case the 
gear display flashes for a few seconds 
as a warning.
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface  do 
not allow you to stay in automatic 
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we 
recommend that you change to 
manual mode. This will prevent the 
automatic gearbox from changing 
gear repeatedly when climbing, and 
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
–  In cold weather , start the engine 
and wait a few seconds before 
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion  P or N and engaging it in  D or R 
to prevent the engine stalling.
Driving in manual mode
With the selection lever  1 in position D, 
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you 
to change gears manually:
–  to move down through the gears,  push the lever forwards;
–  to move up through the gears, push  the lever backwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the 
instrument panel.

When facing uphill, to remain 
stopped, do not keep your foot on 
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic 
gearbox.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (1/6)Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system 
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility 
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), while optimising consumption. 
The system controls the ventilation 
speed, air distribution, air recirculation, 
and starting and stopping the air condi-
tioning and air temperature.
AUTO: allows the selected com-
fort level to be best attained, depend-
ing on the exterior conditions. Press 
button 7. The integrated indicator light 
on button 7 comes on.
Varying the ventilation speedIn automatic mode, the system uses 
the most suitable amount of air to reach 
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the fan speed by 
pressing the buttons  6 to increase or 
reduce the fan speed.
In this case, the integrated indicator 
light on button  7 goes out and the ven-
tilation speed selected is displayed on 
the indicator  C.
