WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (3/6)
D slow continuous wiping
E fast continuous wiping
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the au-
tomatic wiping, the wiper is set to inter-
mittent wiping. Contact an authorised
dealer.
The operation of the rain sensor can be
disturbed in the event of:
–
damaged wiper blades; a screen
of water or traces left by a blade in
the sensor’s detection zone may in-
crease the response time of the au-
tomatic wiper, or increase the wiping
frequency;
– a windscreen with any chip or crack
level with the sensor, or a wind-
screen covered in dust, dirt, insects,
ice, the use of washing wax and
water-repellent chemicals; the auto-
matic wiping will be less sensitive, or
even unresponsive. Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the vehi-
cle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
If stalk
1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.
Precautions
– In the event of ice, check whether the
blades are stuck to the windscreen
before operating the wiping mecha-
nism. If you activate the wipers while
the blades are stuck down with ice,
you may risk damaging both the
blade and the wiper motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to the prema-
ture wear or damage to the blades.
Positions A and D are accessible
with the ignition on. Positions C
and E are accessible only with the
engine running.

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (4/6)
Note:
After your intervention, to reposition the
blades correctly, make sure the blades
are resting on the windscreen, switch
on the ignition and activate the wiper
control.
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the winds-
creen.
It may be useful to:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the winds-creen in winter;
– to replace the blades (please refer to the information on the “Wiper
blades” in Section 5).
With the ignition on and the engine off,
lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully
(fast continuous wipe position). The
wiper arms stop in a position away from
the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make
sure they have been placed on the
windscreen, then move the stalk to po-
sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition,
place the wipers on the windscreen.
Otherwise, there may a risk of damage
to the bonnet or the wipers when they
are switched on.
In the event of obstacles present
on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,
etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-
ding the central area located behind
the interior rear-view mirror) and
the rear screen before starting the
wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
Before any action involving
the windscreen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen,
etc.) return stalk 1 to position B
(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.

1.102
REAR SCREEN WASH/WIPE (2/2)
In the event of obstacles present on the
rear window (dirt, snow, etc.), the wiper
will try to sweep away all the obstacles.
If an obstacle prevents the blade from
moving, it can be stopped. Remove the
obstacle, wait for around 30 seconds
and reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
Precautions
– In the event of ice, check whether
the blades are stuck to the wind-
screen before operating the wiping
mechanism. If you activate the wiper
while the blade is blocked by ice, you
risk damaging both the blade and the
wiping motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to premature
wear or damage to the blades.
Activation/deactivation of the rear
screen wiper
Engaging reverse gear triggers inter-
mittent wiping (if the front wipers are in
operation). If your vehicle is fitted with
a vehicle settings customisation menu,
you can opt to activate or deactivate
this function. To do this, refer to the in-
formation on the “Vehicle settings cus-
tomisation menu” in Section 1; “Rear
wiping in reverse gear”.
For vehicles not fitted with a settings
customisation menu, you can have this
function deactivated by an authorised
dealer.
pRear screen wash/wipe
With the ignition on, push and
hold stalk 1, then release.
A longer action will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers followed, a few seconds
later, by a fourth, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/3)
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system displays the current pres-
sures on the instrument panel 1 and
alerts the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure.
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping a wheel (however this practice is not recommended);
– after changing a wheel.
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.).
21
Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
– repeatedly and briefly press con- trol 2 to select the tyre pressure dis-
play and, depending on the vehicle,
the “Tyre pressure” function;
– press and hold (around 3 seconds) the button 2 to launch the reset. The
flashing tyres followed by the mes-
sages “Learning TP initiated” and
then “Tyres location in progress” in-
dicates that the reset request for the
tyre pressure reference value has
been acknowledged.
Reset can take several minutes of driv-
ing.
If the resetting is followed by short
trips, the message “Tyres location in
progress” can remain displayed after
successive restarts.
Note
The standard tyre pressure cannot be
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.
3
Resetting can also be done from the
multifunction screen 3 if your vehi-
cle is fitted with a navigation system.
Select the menu “Vehicle”, “Tyre
pressure”.

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.

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.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (1/7)
When traffic conditions permit (large
free-flowing road or motorway), the
adaptive cruise control gives you the
option of maintaining a chosen speed,
known as the cruising speed, adjust-
able from 31 mph to 93 mph (50 and
150 km/h), or 68.2 mph (110 km/h) de-
pending on the vehicle, while keeping
a following distance from the vehicle in
front in the same lane.
The sensor has a range of 120 metres.
Note: The driver should take into ac-
count the maximum speed limit in the
country where they are driving.
Note: the adaptive cruise control can
brake the vehicle up to a third of the
braking capacity. Depending on the
situation, the driver may need to brake
harder.
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid. This 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).
The adaptive cruise control should
not be used in heavy traffic, on
winding or slippery roads (black ice,
aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad
weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Sensor location
Make sure that the sensor 1 is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

On equipped vehicles, some infor-
mation is given on the head-up dis-
play.

2.67
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (7/7)
Limitation of the system operation
– 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.
– Fixed obstacles (stationary vehicles, traffic jams, toll booths etc.) or objects travelling at low speed or of a \
small size ( motor-
bikes, bicycles, pedestrians etc.) may not be detected by the system.
– A vehicle entering the same lane will only be detected once it has entere\
d the detection zone. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– When entering a bend or curve, the sensor may temporarily no longer dete\
ct the vehicle in front, and this may lead to acce- leration.
– When exiting a curve, the detection of the vehicle in front may be affected or delayed. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– A slower vehicle travelling in an adjacent lane may be detected and cause\
a slowing down if one of the two vehicles is trav- elling too close to the lane of the other.
– The system is deactivated below around 20 mph (40 km/h). Drivers must \
react accordingly.
– Sudden changes in situation are not instantly taken into account by the \
system. Drivers must remain vigilant at all times and
under all circumstances.
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);
– traffic is heavy;
– the vehicle is travelling in a tunnel;
– the vehicle is travelling on a windy road;
– the vehicle is travelling on a slippery road or in poor weather conditio\
ns (fog, snow, rain, side winds etc.).
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.
