TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM: warning message
These appear with the ® warning light and require you to stop immediately, for your own safety, as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow. Stop your engine and do not restart it. Contact an approved Dealer.
Some examples of warning messages are given below. Note: the messages appear on the display either individually or al-
ternately (when there are several messages to be displayed), and may b\
e accompanied by a warning light and/or a beep.
Examples of messages Interpreting the display selected
« Engine failure hazard » Indicates an injection fault, the vehicle’s engine has overheated or there is a
serious engine fault.
“Power steering fault” or “Risk of locked
steering” Indicates a fault in the steering or a problem with the four-wheel drive\
.
“Braking system fault” or ”Stop vehicle” Indicates a fault in the braking system. Apply the electronic parking brake ma-
nually and ensure that the vehicle is immobilised using a chock.
« Electric failure DANGER » Indicates a fault in the vehicle battery charging circuit (alternator e\

AUDIBLE AND VISUAL SIGNALS
Horn
Press the steering wheel boss A to ac-
tivate the horn.
Headlight flasher
Pull stalk 1 towards you to flash the
headlights.
éHazard warning lights
Press switch 2. This switch ac-
tivates all four direction indicators and
the side indicator lights simultaneously.
It must only be used in an emergency to
warn drivers of other vehicles that you
have had to stop in an area where stop-
ping is prohibited or unexpected or that
you are obliged to drive under special
conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on automati-
cally under heavy deceleration. You can
switch them off by pressing switch 2.
Direction indicators
Move stalk 1 parallel to the steering
wheel and in the direction you are going
to turn it.
One-touch mode
When driving, it is possible that the
steering wheel may not be turned suf-
ficiently to return the stalk automatically
to its starting position.
In this case, briefly turn stalk 1 to the in-
termediate position, then release it: the
stalk returns to its original point and the
indicator light flashes three times.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/3)
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system displays the current pres-
sures on the instrument panel 1 and
alerts the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure.
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping a wheel (however this practice is not recommended);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
21
Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
– repeatedly and briefly press con- trol 2 to select the tyre pressure dis-
play and the “Tyre pressure” func-
tion;
– press and hold (around 3 seconds) the button 2 to launch the reset. The
flashing tyres followed by the mes-
sages “Learning TP initiated” and
then “Tyres location in progress” in-
dicates that the reset request for the
tyre pressure reference value has
been acknowledged.
Reset can take several minutes of driv-
ing.
If the resetting is followed by short
trips, the message “Tyres location in
progress” can remain displayed after
successive restarts.
Note
The standard tyre pressure cannot be
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.

Resetting can also be done from the
multifunction screen 3. Select the
menu “Vehicle”, “Tyre pressure”.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (10/12)
Driver assistance with a
trailer
This system helps to maintain control
over the vehicle while using a trailer.
It detects shaking caused by towing a
trailer under certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
– The function should be activated by an authorised dealer;
– the towbar must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the wiring must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the towbar must be connected to the vehicle.
If the towbar wiring is plug-
ged in but no trailer is atta-
ched (bicycle carrier, lug-
gage carrier with lighting,
etc.), the function may act under
certain rutted road conditions.
Risk of vehicle deceleration.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
– asymmetric braking of the front wheels to reduce shaking caused by
the trailer;
– braking of all four wheels and limita- tion on engine torque to reduce the
vehicle speed until the shaking has
stopped.
Warning light
 flashes on the in-
strument panel to inform the driver.

2.70
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
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
on the
instrument panel goes off and a beep
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.

3.2
MULTI-SENSE (1/2)
The Multi-Sense system enables once
of five modes to be selected which, de-
pending on the vehicle, affect the drive,
the light environment, the comfort and
the engine noise:
– modes Comfort, Neutral, Eco and Sport are preset and associated with
customisable light environments and
engine noise;
– mode Perso is fully customisable.
The drive modes affect the:
– power-assisted steering;
– piloted suspension damping;
– four-wheel drive;
– engine and gearbox responsiveness;
– heating level.
They also affect the:
– passenger compartment and instru- ment panel lighting;
– instrument panel and multifunction screen information;
– engine noise;
– massage seat.
After each start-up, the vehicle uses the
mode set at the time the engine was
last switched off.
Mode Comfort
This mode favours flexibility in the sus-
pension and steering. The interior envi-
ronment is softened.
Mode Neutral
Default mode, mode Neutral selects the
vehicle factory settings.
Mode Eco
Mode Eco is geared towards saving
energy and the environment. The sus-
pension and steering are soft, engine
and gearbox management enable fuel
consumption to be lowered. Air con-
ditioning is managed to be used only
when necessary.
Please refer to the information on
“Driving advice, Eco-driving” in
Section 2.
Multi-Sense
Sport Eco
Neutral Comfort Perso
In all modes, it is possible to change
the colour of the ambient lighting as
well as the format of the information
displayed on the instrument panel
and multifunction display.
You can also reset to the default set-
tings.
