TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
If fitted on the vehicle, this system
warns the driver of pressure loss in one
or several tyres.
In the following situations, the system
risk coming into action late or not func-
tioning correctly:
– system not reset after reinflation or any operation on the wheels;
– system badly reset: different inflation pressures from the recommended
pressures;
– significant change in load or distribu- tion of load on one side of the vehi-
cle;
– sporty driving with strong accelera- tion;
– driving on snowy or slippery surface;
– driving with snow chains;
– fitting a single new tyre;
– use of tyres not approved by the net- work.

Operating principle
This system detects a loss of pressure
in one of the tyres by measuring the
wheel speed while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.).
Operating conditions
The system should be reset with an
inflation pressure equal to that given
on the tyre inflation pressure label.
Otherwise it risks not giving a reliable
warning in the event of a significant loss
of pressure. Please refer to the informa-
tion on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4.
This function is an additional driving aid.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It cannot,
therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the respon-
sibility of the driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including the emergency spare wheel, once a mo\
nth.

2.21
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/3)
Resetting the standard level for the
tyre pressures
This should be done:
– after each reinflation or readjustment of the pressure of one of the tyres;
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after changing a wheel;
– after using the tyre inflation kit;
– after swapping a wheel (however, this practice is not recommended).
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.).

Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
– repeatedly press one of the but- tons 3 or 4 to select the “TIRES SET
TPW” function on the display 2;
– press and hold (around 3 seconds) button 3 or 4 to start initialisation.
The display of the message “SET
TPW LAUNCHED” for around five
seconds indicates that the reset re-
quest for the tyre pressure reference
value has been taken into account.
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.
Display
The display 2 on the instrument panel
informs you of any tyre pressure faults
(flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).
“INFLATE TIRES AND SET TPW”
Warning light
 comes on, along
with the message “INFLATE TIRES
AND SET TPW”. They indicate that at
least one tyre is flat or punctured.
In the event of a flat tyre, inflate the re-
levant tyre.
In the event of a puncture, change the
tyre or consult an authorised dealer.
Check and readjust the pressure of the
four tyres when cold, and launch the
reset of the tyre pressure reference
value. Warning light
 goes out
after launching the reinitialisation of the
tyre pressure reference value.

2.23
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;
– emergency brake assist;
– hill start assistance.Operating faults:
–
© and x lit up on the in-
strument panel alongside messages
“CHECK ABS”, “CHECK BRAKING
SYSTEM” and “CHECK ESC”: ABS,
ESC and emergency brake assist
are deactivated. Braking is always
enabled;
–
x, D, © and ® lit
up on the instrument panel alongside
the message “BRAKING SYSTEM
FAULT”: this indicates a fault in
the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
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.).
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/4)
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).
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.

2.25
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger 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
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).

2.30
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-
pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-
ing, gravel) and during bad weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4 Activation with recall of saved cruis- ing speed (R).
5 Switch the function to standby (with cruising speed saved) (O).

2.34
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
The system detects obstacles to the
front, the rear and the sides of the ve-
hicle.
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/4)
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-
cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by
dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no small, narrow moving obstacles
(such as a child, animal, pushchair,
bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind
spot when manoeuvring.

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
OperationMoving into reverse gear, the 1 camera
(located on the tailgate on five-seater
versions or near the number plate lights
on estate versions) provides a view of
the area behind the vehicle on the 2
touchscreen. Depending on the ve-
hicle, this may be accompanied by a
moving guide line or a static guide line.

Note: make sure that the reversing
camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).

Note: depending on the vehicle, cer-
tain settings can be adjusted from the 2
touchscreen. Refer to the handbook for
the equipment.
This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circ\
um-
stances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving:

noeuvring.

3.11
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few moments
to let the hot air escape before starting
the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.
