Never
  press   the   accelerator   and   brake  
p

edals   at   the   same   time.   Braking   and  
a

cceleration   should   be   done   only   with  
t

he   right   foot.   Pressing   both   pedals  
t

ogether   risks   damaging   the   gearbox.
If
  the   brake   does   not   release

When
  you   want   to   engage   reverse,  
t

Before switching off the engine, you can change   to   position   P or N   to   be   in   neutral.  
I

n   either   case,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

mmobilise   the   vehicle,   unless   it   is   programmed  
i

If the lever is not in position P ,
  on   opening   the  
d

river's   door   or   approximately   45   seconds   after  
s

witching   off   the   ignition   there   is   an   audible  
s

ignal   and   a   message   appears:
F
 
m
ove   the   gear   selector   to   position   P;   the  
a

udible   signal   stops   and   the   message  
d

isappears.
Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake   to   immobilise   the   vehicle,   if   automatic  
o

peration   has   been   deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the gear   selector   is   in   position   P before
leaving
  your   vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox,
  the   service   warning   lamp  
c

omes   on   in   the   instrument   panel,  
a

ccompanied   by   a   message   and   an  
a

udible
 s
ignal.
In   this   case   the   gearbox   goes   into   back-up  
m

ode   and   stays   in   3
rd gear. You may then feel a n
oticeable
 
jolt
 
when
 
going   from   P to R   and   from  
N

to R .
 
This
 
jolt
 
does
  not   present   any   risk   to   the

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine   restarts   automatically   -   START   mode   -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move   off.   The   restart   takes   place   instantly,   quickly   and   silently.

Cruise control - "CRUISE"
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Y ou   are   advised   to   keep   your   feet   near   the   pedals   at   all   times.
Switching on the cruise control requires a
minimum   vehicle   speed   of   25   mph   (40   km/h).
As
  well   as   engagement   of:
-
 
f
ourth   gear   or   higher   on   a   manual   gearbox,
-

The
  system   remains   active   after   changing   gear

The cruise control is paused
 

by   pressing

It
  is   possible   to   exceed   the   programmed   speed  
t

The system does not act on the braking s ystem,   but   works   only   with   engine   braking.
The

Dynamic cruise control with Stop function
The dynamic cruise control is a driving aid   that   cannot   in   any   circumstances  
r

eplace   the   observation   of   speed   limits  
a

nd   safe   distances,   nor   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
It
 
i
s  
r
ecommended   that  
y
ou   always  
k
eep  
y

our   feet   close   to   the   pedals.
The
  driver   must   be   ready   to   take   back  
c

ontrol   of   their   vehicle   at   any   time,  
u

sing   the   brake   or   accelerator   pedal   as  
a

ppropriate.
This
 
system
 
assures
 
two
 
functions:
-
 
a

utomatic
 
regulation
 
of
 
the
 
speed
 
of
 
the
 v
ehicle
 
to
 
a
 
value
 
programmed
 
by
 
the
 d
river,
-
 
a

utomatic
 
adjustment
 
of
 
the
 
distance
 
b

etween
 
your
 
vehicle
 
and
 
the
 
vehicle
 
a

head.
It
 
manages
 
the
 
acceleration
 
and
 
deceleration
 
o

f
 
the
 
vehicle
 
by
 
automatically
 
acting
 
on
 
the
 
e

ngine
 
and
 
the
 
braking
 
system.
To
 
do
 
this,
 
the
 
system
 
has
 
a
 
radar,
 
located
 
in
 
t

he
 
middle
 
of
 
the
 
front
 
bumper,
 
with
 
a
 
maximum
 
r

ange
 
of
 
150
 
metres.
Principles
This system detects a vehicle running in front of y our   vehicle,   travelling   in   the   same   direction.
It
  automatically   adapts   the   speed   of   your  
v

ehicle   to   that   of   the   vehicle   in   front,   to   maintain  
a

  constant   distance.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   is   running   more   slowly,   the  
s

ystem   slows,   or   even   stops   your   vehicle,   using  
e

ngine   braking   and   the   braking   system.
If
  the   braking   system   is   used   to   decelerate   the  
v

ehicle,   the   brake   lamps   come   on.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   accelerates   or   changes  
l

ane,   the   cruise   control   progressively  
a

ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
 s

peed.
If
  the   driver   operates   a   direction   indicator   to  
ov

ertake   a   slower   vehicle,   the   dynamic   cruise  
c

ontrol   allows   your   vehicle   to   temporarily  
a

pproach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking
 ma

noeuvre,
 t
hough
 n
ever
 e
xceeding
 t

he   programmed   speed.
