DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES (3/5)
If you deactivate this function, the
traction control (ASR) system will
also be deactivated.
As the ESC and ASR provide enhanced
safety, it is not advisable to drive with
the function switched off. Correct
this as soon as possible by pressing
switch 1 again.
Note: the system is automatically reac-
tivated each time the engine is switched
off.
1
Disabling the ESC function
(including traction control (ASR)
system)
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
Depending on the vehicle warning
light
or the message “ESC off”
is displayed on the instrument panel to
inform you.
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
Depending on the speed at which the
brake pedal is depressed, the system
will detect emergency braking. In this
case, the braking assistance immedi-
ately develops maximum power and
may trigger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (1/2)
This system notifies the driver when
the other vehicle comes up in the blind
spot.
This function uses sensors 1 installed
in the front and rear bumper of both
sides.
Please confirm that the sensors are not
covered by dirt, mud or snow.
This system is activated when the ve-
hicle speed is between about 35 km/h
and 140 km/h.
When the engine is started, the system
adopts the status that was active when
the engine was last stopped.
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates
there is the other vehicle in
the blind spot area.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst driving.
The driver should always look out

AUTOMATIC OR CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– backwards to shift down the gears;
– forwards to shift up the gears.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, or electronic stability
control (ESC) operational etc.) 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 repeated gear
changes when climbing and will
enable engine braking on long de-
scents.
– In very cold weather, to avoid stall-
ing the engine, start the engine and
wait a few seconds before moving
the lever from position P or N to po-
sition D or R.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: to avoid wheelspin when
starting on a slippery or low grip sur-
face, change to manual mode and
select second gear before moving
off.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Depending on the vehicle, apply the
handbrake or check that the elec-
tronic parking brake is on (refer to
the information on the Parking brake in
Section 2).
In very cold weather, the system may prevent the gears from being shifted in
manual mode until the gearbox reaches the right temperature.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

switched off and on level ground.Level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the “MIN” warning
line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website.Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
