The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before
a

long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section. Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.

I
f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a
warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
The system must be reinitialised with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary, via the

or by a qualified workshop.
Speed limiter
The system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed setting
programmed by the driver.
Once the speed limit is reached, the
accelerator pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a
programmed speed of at least
20

mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.

The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the set speed, simply slow down to
a

speed below the programmed speed.
The set speed remains in the system memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to obser ve speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Malfunction
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
i s cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. On sharp acceleration, as when
descending a
steep hill, the speed limiter
will not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
Have it checked in the dealer network or by
a

qualified workshop.
Cruise control
System which automatically
maintains the speed of the vehicle
at the value programmed by the
driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched off
manually or
by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the trajectory control systems for
safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
Cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Operation
- the braking assistance systems (ABS, EBFD, EBA) are not faulty.
-

t
he trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC)
are not deactivated or faulty,
-

t
he vehicle is not making a sharp turn,
-

t
he system has not triggered in the last ten
seconds.
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a


collision.
You are then warned by the display of
a


message.
The brake lamps of your vehicle are lit to warn
other users.
The collision can be avoided if the speed
difference between your vehicle and the one
ahead is not more than 9
mph (15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
accident by lowering the speed of impact.
The automatic braking can lead to the complete
stop of the vehicle if the situation requires it. In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily (for about 1.5
seconds) to allow
the driver to take back control by pressing the
brake pedal.
Unless the driver depresses the clutch
pedal quickly enough during automatic
braking, triggering of the system may
cause the engine to stall.
During automatic braking, the driver can
always obtain a
higher rate of deceleration
than that controlled by the system, by
pressing firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is
automatically put out of ser vice: it no
longer operates.
You must go to a
member of the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop to have
the system made operational again.Deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle
configuration menu, accessible with the ignition on.
Its state is memorised when the ignition is switched

Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are
stationary or moving in the same direction as
your vehicle. It does not detect small vehicles (bicycles,
motorcycles), pedestrians or animals, nor
non-reflective stationary objects.
This system will not trigger or inter vene if the
driver:
-
a

ccelerates strongly
-

o
r suddenly turns the steering wheel
(avoidance manoeuvre). When weather conditions are difficult
(extremely heavy rain, snow, fog, hail,
etc.), braking distances increase, which
may reduce the system's ability to avoid
a


collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly cautious.
Never let snow build up on the bonnet
or any object above the bonnet nor at
the front of the roof: this could enter the
field of vision of the sensor and obstruct
detection.
Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer
inter ference from accumulations of dirt or
misting of the windscreen. In this case you are
warned by the display of a
message.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
Do not stick or other wise attach any object
on the windscreen in front of the sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you
a re warned by an audible signal and the display
of the message " Automatic braking system
fault ".
Have the system checked by your dealer or by
a


qualified workshop. In the event of an impact to the
windscreen near the sensor, deactivate
the system and contact your dealer
or a
qualified workshop to have your
windscreen replaced.
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only your dealer or a
qualified workshop
may work on the system.
When towing a
trailer or when the vehicle
is being towed, the system must be
deactivated.

Parking assistance
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
entering the detection range of the sensors
located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (post, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
detection range.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
Audible assistanceVisual assistance
(Depending on version.)
Front parking sensors
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous. This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle remains below 6
mph (10 km/h).
The system is switched off when you shift out
of reverse gear.
