Electronic stability control
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.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© and  appear
on the instrument panel.
In this case, the ESC and traction con-
trol system are deactivated. Consult an
authorised dealer.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (8/10)
Active emergency braking
Limitation of the system operation
– The system will only respond to vehicles which are moving or which have \
been sensed as moving.
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert\
or any action on the system operation.
– The sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in or\
der to ensure the proper operation of the system.
– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycl\
es as effectively as to other vehicles.
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns).
Halting the function
You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accel\
erator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a avo id-
ance manoeuvre.
If the driver notices any unusual behaviour in the system, please consul\
t an authorised dealer.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (10/10)
Rear wheel steering
On equipped vehicles, this system,
when the vehicle is being driven, steers
the rear wheels according to driving
conditions: at low speed this system
offers manoeuvrability, at higher speeds
it optimises stability.
When driving at low speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the opposite direction to
the front wheels (figure A) to increase
the vehicle’s manoeuvrability. This is
used when driving in towns, on winding
roads, during parking manoeuvres, etc. When driving at higher speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the same direction as
the front wheels (figure B
) to optimise
the vehicle’s stability. This is useful
when changing lanes or when corner-
ing etc.
Note: The system configuration (agil-
ity, etc.) depends on the mode selected
in the “Multi-sense” menu (please refer
to the information on “Multi-sense” in
Section 3). Operating faults
– If the
© warning light, together
with the message “Check power
steering”, is displayed on the instru-
ment panel: please contact an au-
thorised dealer.
– If the warning light
®, together
with the message “Power steering
fault”, is displayed on the instrument
panel, this indicates a fault in the
system.
AB
® requires you to stop
as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Contact an approved
Dealer.
An impact to the underside of the
vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furniture) may
result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.:
deformation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

FATIGUE DETECTION WARNING (1/2)
This function analyses the behaviour
of the driver at the steering wheel and
warns him of the risk of fatigue.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid in case of
risk of fatigue. This function
does not take the place of
the driver.
Under no circumstances should this
function replace the driver’s care or
responsibility whilst driving.
Activation/deactivation
Vehicles fitted with a multimedia
system
From the multifunction screen 1: select
“Vehicle”, “Driving assistance”, “Fatigue
detection warn.”, then choose “ON" or
"OFF".

– repeatedly press control 5 up or
down until you reach the “Fatigue de-
tection warn.” menu, then press the
switch 4 OK.
– Press the switch 4 OK again to acti-
vate or deactivate the function.
Operation
The function is set to notify the
driver if:
– the vehicle speed is greater than ap- proximately 37.2 mph (60 km/h);
and
– Approximately 15 minutes have passed since the deletion of the pre-
vious warning.
The function triggers an alert if the
system detects repeated signs of fa-
tigue in the driver at the steering wheel.
When a risk of fatigue is detected,
the message “Fatigue warning have a
break” is displayed on the instrument
panel accompanied by a beep.
Press switch 4 OK to delete the warn-
ing.
It is advisable to stop as soon as pos-
sible for a break.
FATIGUE DETECTION WARNING (2/2)
Note:
– if the warning is not deleted by press- ing switch 4 OK, the beep repeats;
– some driving styles may be inter- preted by the system as a sign of
tiredness (action on the steering
wheel, frequency of activation of the
direction indicators etc.) ;
– the use of the function is also useful on monotonous roads (motorways,
high-speed roads etc).
Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check fatigue warning” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Call an
approved Dealer.

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.
Detection of obstacles to the side
Depending on the direction of the
wheels, the system determines the tra-
jectory of the vehicle and notifies the
driver of any risk or otherwise of a col-
lision with an obstacle 3 to the side of
the vehicle.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (3/5)
If a side obstacle is detected:
– the beeps become faster and then sound continuously as the obstacle
gets nearer. Green, orange and red
zones will be displayed on the dis-
play D;
– if there is no risk of collision, no beep will sound when approaching the ob-
stacle. Green, orange and red zones
will be displayed interspersed on the
display D.
Note: in the event of a change in tra-
jectory during a manoeuvre, the risk of
collision with an obstacles may be sig-
nalled late.

Fixed clearance gauge 3
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers A, B and C , indicat-
ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle.
This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.Operation
When reversing, the camera transmits
a view of the surroundings to the rear
of the vehicle to the screen 2 accompa-
nied by one or two clearance gauges 3
et 4 (mobile and fixed). This system
is initially used with the aid of several
gauges (mobile for trajectory and fixed
for distance). When the red zone is
reached, use the bumper image to stop
accurately.
