Note:
The standard tyre pressure cannot be
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.
Display
Display 2 on the instrument panel in-
forms you of any tyre pressure faults
(flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).
Check tyre pressure
The warning light
comes on (not
flashing). This indicates that at least
one tyre is flat.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the
pressures of the four wheels when cold.
The warning light
goes off after a
few minutes’ driving.
Puncture
The warning light
and the red
warning light
Ò light up on the in-
strument panel, alongside a beep.
This indicates that at least one wheel
is punctured or severely underinflated.
Replace it or contact an authorised
dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre
pressure if the wheel is deflated.
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/3)
With the engine stopped:
– repeatedly press the button 3 to
select “SEt tP” on the display 2;
– press and hold (around 3 seconds) button 3 to start initialisation. “SEt tP”
flashes then comes on steady. When
“SEt tP” disappears, the standard
tyre pressure is saved.
Reinitialisation is carried out after a few
minutes’ driving.
The sudden loss of pressure in a
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.

Handbrake
To release
Pull lever 1 up slightly, press button 2
and then lower the lever to the floor.
The red warning light on the instrument
panel will come on if you are driving
with an incorrectly released handbrake.
HANDBRAKE/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
To apply
Pull lever 1 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
Depending on the gradient
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary when station-
ary to apply the brake by
at least a further two notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear).
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

Power-assisted steering
With the engine running, do not leave
the steering wheel at full lock while sta-
tionary as this may damage the power-
assisted steering pump.
With the engine switched off, or if there
is a system fault, it is still possible to
turn the steering wheel. The force re-
quired will be greater.

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 vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly 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 per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. 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.). Operating faults:
– If the
x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while driv-
ing, braking is still operational ;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
In this case, ABS, ESC and emergency
braking assist are also deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– of the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– of the electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control and
traction control ASR;
– emergency brake assist with, de- pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;
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.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
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 responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

Electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control
and traction control ASR
Electronic stability control ESC
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.).
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, indicator light
flashes on the instrument panel. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
and/or warning
lights on the instrument panel come on.
In this case, the ESC and ASR are de-
activated.
Consult an approved dealer.
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 ASR
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (3/3)
The traction control ASR offers addi-
tional safety, it is recommended that
you do not drive with the function disa-
bled. Correct this as soon as possible
by pressing switch 1 again.
Note: The function is reactivated auto-
matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
Emergency brake assist
This is an additional system to ABS
which helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the brak-
ing assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger ABS
regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is not released.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the warning light
x is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Disabling the function ASR
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 wheel-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch
1. In this case, the warning light
comes on, on the instrument
panel. This action does not deactivate
the ESC.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (2/3)
Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelera-
tor pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).
Varying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by re-
peatedly pressing:
– switch 2 (+) to increase speed;
– switch 3 (-) to reduce speed.
Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any time. To do this: press the accel-
erator pedal firmly and fully (beyond
the resistance point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the
programmed speed displayed on the
instrument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator: the
speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limit speed: the stored speed will flash
on the instrument panel information dis-
play to inform you of this situation.
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (3/3)
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is deac-
tivated if you press switch 1 : in this
case a speed is no longer stored. The
orange instrument panel warning light
goes out, confirming that the func-
tion is stopped.
Putting the function on
standby
The speed limiter function is suspended
when you press switch 5 (O). In this
case, the limit speed remains stored
and the message “MEM” accompanied
by this speed appears on the instru-
ment panel.
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been saved, it can be re-
called by pressing switch 4 ((R)).

When the speed limiter is put on
standby, pressing switch 2 (+) re-
activates the function without taking
into account the stored speed: it is
the speed at which the vehicle is
moving that is taken into account.
