are driving, it indicates an electrical or
electronic fault. Contact an approved
dealer as soon as possible.
ÆSTOP light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out as soon as
the engine is started. It lights up at the

until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved Dealer as soon as
possible.

ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle. Under
these circumstances, the vehicle can
be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst
braking. In addition, this system can
increase stopping distances, particu-
larly on roads with low surface grip (wet
ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perfor-
mance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– the emergency brake assist;
– electronic stability control (ESC)
with understeer control and trac-
tion control.
– hill start assistance.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
Special feature of 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles
In 4WD Lock mode, the system may
lock the wheels briefly to optimise the
braking distance on very wet ground
(snow, mud, sand, etc.).

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (3/4)
Electronic stability program
ESC with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic Stability Program ESC
(depending on the vehicle)
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steering (loss of front axle road hold-
ing).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Deactivating the ESC
function
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 whee-
lspin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The warning light
 on the instru-
ment panel comes on to warn you of
this.
If you deactivate this function, the
traction control system will also be
deactivated.
With the Electronic Stability Program
ESC with understeer control and trac-
tion control providing additional safety,
you are advised not to drive with the
function disabled. Correct this as soon
as possible by pressing the switch 1
again.
Note: The function is automatically
reactivated when the ignition is switched
on, or when the speed exceeds 30 mph
(50 km/h) in “AUTO” and “2WD” modes,
and approximately 36 mph (60 km/h) in
“4WD Lock” mode.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)
Hill start assistance
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling forwards or backwards by
automatically applying the brakes when
the driver lifts their foot off the brake
pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmis-
sions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope). Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, the indicator
light
 flashes on the instrument
panel.
Operating faults
When the system detects an opera-
ting fault the warning lights
Ò and
 appear on the instrument panel.
In this case, the Electronic Stability
Program ESC with understeer control
and traction control are deactivated.
Please consult an authorised dealer if
these warning lights remain displayed
on the instrument panel after the igni-
tion is switched off and on again.
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit-
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from rolling forwards or
backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.
