PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/4)
Automatic activation/deactivation
of the front and/or rear parking
distance control
The system deactivates:
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gearstick has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

Rear parking distance control
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of
the vehicle are detected and a beep
sounds.
Note: The screen 1 shows the vehicle
surroundings alongside the beeps. The system is designed to aid park-
ing, and under no circumstances guar-
antees a sufficient distance to operate
the retractable roof. Before moving the
roof in any way, first check that the sur-
rounding space exceeds the required
minimum distances (refer to the infor-
mation on the “Retractable glass roof”
in Section 3).
In all cases, a continuous sound indi-
cates that the roof cannot move.
Front parking distance
control
(depending on vehicle)
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
Most objects located less than around
1 metre away from the front of the ve-
hicle are detected and a beep sounds.
Depending on the vehicle, the display
1
lights up.
Note: The screen 1 shows the vehicle
surroundings alongside the beeps.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (3/4)
If there are obstacles located close to
both the front and rear of the vehicle,
only the closest of the two will be ac-
knowledged and the corresponding
front or rear beep sound will be emit-
ted. If obstacles are detected both at
the front and rear of the vehicle at the
same time, and they are both less than
30 centimetres away from the vehicle,
the corresponding front and rear beeps
will sound alternately.Adjusting the parking

fault, a beep sounds for approximately
3 seconds each time reverse gear is se-
lected and is accompanied by the mes-
sage “Check parking sensor” shown on
the instrument panel. Please consult an
authorised dealer.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors are
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Selector lever 1
Display 3 on the instrument panel
shows the mode and gear selected.
4: P: park
5: R: reverse gear
6: N: neutral
7: D: automatic mode
8 : manual mode
9: zone displaying gearbox mode or
gear engaged in manual mode
Operation
With the gear lever 1 in position P,
switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
unlocking button 2.
With the foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light
c on the display 3 goes out),
move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-
leased.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/3)
Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic con-
ditions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

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.
Apply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in auto-
matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and en-
gaging D or R.
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:
– To move down through the gears, push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, or electronic stabil-
ity program (ESP) operational etc.): the
automatic system may change gear au-
tomatically.
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.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
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.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (1/5)Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), whilst optimising consumption.
The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recircula-
tion, and starting and stopping the air
conditioning and air temperature. This
mode consists of a choice of three pro-
grammes:
AUTO: allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 3.
SOFT: gently brings the temperature to
the desired comfort level. The comfort
level is then maintained gently and si-
lently. Press button 2.
FAST: increases the operation of the
system to reach the desired comfort
level more quickly. Use this programme
when you have passengers in the rear.
Press button 4.

The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-
matic programmes AUTO, SOFT or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning
functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection. In this case, the indicator lig\
ht on the
button 3 will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by \
the
system, will be shown on the display 12.
To return to automatic mode, press one of the AUTO, SOFT or FAST programmes.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/5)
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Press switch 8 to switch off the air
conditioning; the integrated indicator
comes on and “A/C OFF” is shown on
display 12.
