DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/5)
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)
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.).
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.
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.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS);
– electronic stability program (ESC) with understeer control and trac-
tion control;
– driver assistance with a trailer;
– emergency brake assist;
– grip control;
– hill start assistance. Operating faults:
– The
© and x come on
and the messages “Check ABS”,
“CHECK BRAKING SYSTEM” and,
depending on the vehicle, “Check
ESC” appear on the instrument
panel: the ABS, the ESC and emer-
gency brake assist are deactivated.
Braking is always enabled;
– The
x, D, © and
® come on and the message
“BRAKING SYSTEM FAULT” is dis-
played on the instrument panel: this
indicates a failure in the braking
system.
In both cases, please consult an
Authorised Dealer.

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
Electronic stability program
(ESC) with understeer control
and traction control
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.Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
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.
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).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault, the
© and  warn-
ing lights come on and, depending on
the vehicle, the message “Check ESC”
appears on the instrument panel. In
this case, the ESC and traction control
system are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/5)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system allows an emergency brak-
ing situation to be detected when the
brake pedal is pressed. In this case, the
braking assistance immediately devel-
ops maximum power and may trigger
ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied. Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
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.
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK BRAKING
SYSTEM” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of

Grip control
If fitted on the vehicle, grip control
makes it easier to control the vehicle on
low grip surfaces (soft ground, etc.).
Tyres
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
dealer.
“Soft ground” mode
Turn the button 1: the integrated warn-
ing light
\b comes on, along with
the instrument panel message “NON
GRIP ROAD MODE ON”.
This position enables optimal usage on
soft ground (mud, sand, dead leaves,
etc.). “Soft ground” mode uses traction
control functions. The system automati-
cally switches to “Road” mode after
around 25 mph (40 km/h), and the inte-
grated warning light
 on button 1
comes on.
“Expert” mode
Turn the button 1: the integrated warn-
ing light
 comes on, along with
the instrument panel message “ALL
ROADSMODE ON”.
In this position, engine speed is left
under the driver’s control. The system
automatically switches to “Road” mode
after around 25 mph (40 km/h), and
the integrated warning light
 on
button 1 comes on.
“Road” mode
When the vehicle is started up, the
warning light
 on button 1 comes
on, along with the instrument panel
message “STANDARD ROAD MODE
ON”.
This position enables optimal usage
under normal driving conditions (dry-
ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).
“Road” mode uses traction control func-
tions.

Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The two in-
strument panel warning lights
 and
 go out to confirm that the function is
deactivated.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light
 goes out.
Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road con-
ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch 4 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled, acti-
vation of the cruise control is confirmed
by the illumination of the
 warning
light.
NB: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– use the switch 5 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or the shift into neutral if the vehicle has an au-
tomatic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed
remains stored and, depending on the
vehicle:
– the message” Memorised ” and stored speed are displayed on the
instrument panel.
– the stored speed is displayed be- tween markers on the instru-
ment panel.
CRUISE CONTROL (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

press the brake pedal before pressing
the unlocking button 2.
With the foot on the brake pedal (the
warning light 3 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.

Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to 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.

2.44
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (for exam-
ple, engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Programme: the au-
tomatic system may change gear auto-
matically.
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.
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.
Driving in manual mode
With the selection lever 1 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 forwards;
– to move up through the gears, push the lever backwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.

When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.
