ASSISTED PARKING (4/4)
This function is an additional driving aid. However, this function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the
due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
Make sure that the manoeuvre complies with the applicable traffic regulations at your location.
– The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: alw\
ays ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow object\
s such as stones or posts in your path when manoeu-
vring.
– The system cannot detect objects located in the sensor blind spots.
– During manoeuvring, the steering wheel may turn quickly: do not place yo\
ur hands inside the wheel, and ensure nothing is located in this space.
– Always visually check that the parking space proposed by the system is s\
till available and contains no obstacles.
– The system should be deactivated when towing a trailer.

2.78
ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION
Adaptive suspension makes it possible
to modify the suspension automatically,
according to driving conditions and to
your driving style.
Choosing a preset mode
From the menu on the multifunction
screen 1, you can select a preset driv-
ing mode.
The configuration of the suspension will
depend on the mode selected in the
“Multi-Sense” menu (please refer to the
information on “Multi-Sense” in
Section 3). Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the system
switches automatically to the “Neutral”
mode in “Multi-Sense”.
If the message “Check Damper control”
appears on the instrument panel, con-
sult an authorised dealer.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (1/3)
2
Operation
With the selection lever 1 in position P,
switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
the unlocking button 2.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light
c on the display 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.

B
Selector lever 1
P: park
R: reverse
N: Neutral
D: automatic mode
M: manual mode
+: upper gear
–: lower gear
The gear engaged is displayed on the
instrument panel B and on the dis-
play A.
Note: Press button 2 to go from posi-
tion D or N to R or P.
Driving in automatic mode
Put lever 1 into position D.
In most road conditions you will en-
counter, you will not need to touch your
lever again: the gears will change au-
tomatically at the right time and at the
most suitable engine speed because
the automatic system takes into ac-
count the vehicle load and road contour
and adjusts itself to the particular driv-
ing 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.
A

2.80
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special casesIn certain driving conditions (result-
ing in, for example, engine protection,
operation of the Electronic Stability
Control programme: ESC, etc.) the au-
tomated system may change the gear
automatically.
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 GEARBOX (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
Move the selector lever 1 to position D,
then move the lever to the left into po-
sition M.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– to move down through the gears, push the lever forwards;
– to move up through the gears, push the lever backwards.
1
When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.
Check that warning light P
on the instrument panel and
the warning light integrated
on the button 2 are acti-
vated before leaving the vehicle.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the
vehicle
2
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode. This will prevent the
automatic gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.

2.81
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/3)Operating faults
– when driving , if the message
"CHECK AUTO GEARBOX" ap-
pears on the instrument panel, it in-
dicates a failure.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving, if the message
"Gearbox overheating" appears on
the instrument panel, stop as soon
as possible to let the gearbox cool
down and wait for the message to
disappear;
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
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.
Ensure that the electronic parking
brake is engaged.
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.
2
When setting off, if the lever is locked in
position P even though you are press-
ing the brake pedal, the lever can be
released manually. To do this, unclip
the flap 3, then insert a tool (with a hard
rod to it) into the hole 4 and press the
button 2 at the same time in order to
unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.

MULTI-SENSE (1/2)
The Multi-Sense system acts, depend-
ing on the mode selected and depend-
ing on the vehicle, on 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;
– the adaptive suspension:
– the four-wheel drive:
– engine and gearbox responsiveness;
– heating level.
They also affect the:
– the light environment and the 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 smooth steering.
The interior environment is softened.
Depending on the vehicle, the seat
massage function is activated.
Mode Neutral
Default mode, mode Neutral selects the
vehicle factory settings.
Mode Eco
Mode Eco is geared towards saving
energy and the environment. The
steering is smooth, engine and gearbox
management enable fuel consumption
to be lowered. Air conditioning is man-
aged to be used only when necessary.
Please refer to the information on
“Driving advice, Eco-driving” in
Section 2.
Note: for vehicles without ECOmode,
the Comfort mode becomes the most
suitable mode in terms of energy econ-
omy and respect for the environment.
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
