WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (1/2)
nWindscreen wiper
With the ignition on, move
stalk 1 around the steering wheel:
A Park.
B Intermittent wiping.
The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps.
C Normal wiping speed.
D Fast wiping speed.
sWindscreen wiper
With the ignition on, pull stalk 1
towards you.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
In frosty weather, make sure that
the wiper blades are not stuck by ice
(risk of motor overheating).
Keep an eye on the condition of the
blades. They should be replaced as
soon as they become less efficient.
This will occur approximately once
a year. Clean your windscreen reg-
ularly.
If you switch off the ignition before
switching off the windscreen wiper
(position A ) the blades will stop at
random on the windscreen.
After switching the ignition back on,
simply move stalk 1 to position A to
place them in the park position.
Before touching the wind-
screen (washing the vehi-
cle, de-icing, cleaning the
windscreen, etc.) move
stalk 1 to position A (park). Risk of
injury and/or damage.When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position A (park). Risk
of injury.

2.4
vehicles with an automatic
gearbox
Before starting, move the lever to posi-
tion P.
Refer to the information on the
“Automatic gearbox” in Section 2.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, accessories
(e.g. radio) stop working either when
the engine is switched off or when the
driver’s door is opened or when the
doors are locked.Driver’s responsibility
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not
self-sufficient alone on your
vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely . Switching off the
engine disables the assistance
equipment: brakes, steering, etc.,
and additional seatbelt devices.
The steering is locked when the key
is removed.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/4)
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.

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 ve-
hicle 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
Depending on the gradient of the in-
cline, this system assists the driver
when starting on a hill. It prevents the
vehicle from rolling backwards by au-
tomatically applying the brakes when
the driver lifts his/her 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 released (the vehicle will move ac-
cording 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 vehi-
cle from rolling 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.

LEVELS (3/3)
Power-assisted steering fluid
reservoir 4 or 5
Level: for a correct level when cold,
with the engine switched off and on
level ground, it must be visible between
the “MINI” and “MAXI” marks on reser-
voir 4 or 5.
For maintenance operations on the
power-assisted steering, contact an ap-
proved dealer.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult an approved dealer at once
if you notice an abnormal or re-
peated drop in any of the fluid levels.
If you feel any variation in the ef-
fectiveness of the power-assisted
steering, consult an approved
dealer.
