DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/4)
Electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control
and traction control ASR
Electronic stability control ESC
(depending on vehicle)
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 the direction se-
lected by the driver and the actual di-
rection of the vehicle and corrects this
as necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the engine
power. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced un-
dersteer (loss of front axle road hol-
ding).
Traction control ASR
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle 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.
Warning light
on the instrument
panel flashes when the function ESC
starts operating (with ASR).
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving 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 responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Operating fault
When the system detects an opera-
ting fault, the
warning light on
the instrument panel comes on. In this
case, the ESC and the ASR are deac-
tivated.
Please contact an authorised dealer.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)
Hill start assistance
This device assists the driver when
starting on hills (ascending or descend-
ing). It prevents the vehicle from rolling
forwards or backwards by automatically
applying the brakes when the driver lifts
their foot off the brake pedal to depress
the accelerator pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N for sequential gearboxes) and
the vehicle is completely stationary
(brake pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then released (the vehicle will move ac-
cording to the slope).The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit-
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from rolling forwards or
backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

OperationSwitch on the ignition.
The display on the instrument panel
switches on.
If neutral ( N) is displayed, start the
engine but do not depress the accel-
erator.
If any gear other than neutral is en-
gaged, N flashes on the display; press
the brake pedal and place the lever in
position N. Start the engine.
NB: Do not attempt to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle if the battery is
flat (the display remains off when the ig-
nition is switched on).
Under certain conditions, the engine
starter may take some time. Keep the
key in the starting position.
Starting
Moving forwards (starting in neutral)
The gear display shows N then A.
With the brake pedal depressed, posi-
tion the selector lever to D.
Release the brake pedal: – The engine’s idle speed is suffi-
cient for parking manoeuvres.
– Accelerate gently to move for-
wards. Reverse gear
(from neutral, with the
vehicle stationary)
With the brake pedal depressed, posi-
tion the selector lever to R. The letter R
appears on the display.
Release the brake pedal:
– The engine’s idle speed is suffi-
cient for parking manoeuvres.
– Accelerate gently to reverse.
There is a beep when reverse gear is
engaged.
You may shift from reverse gear to a
forwards gear by pushing the lever to D
once the vehicle is stationary.
Note: When the vehicle is stationary,
you must depress the brake pedal to
engage a gear. Otherwise, warning
light
Ó will come on.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (2/6)
Exactly like a vehicle
equipped with a manual
gearbox, a vehicle equipped
with a sequential gearbox is
unable to prevent the vehicle from
rolling on a slope if the handbrake is
not applied or the brake pedal con-
stantly depressed.

Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on,
starting in neutral, place the lever to D
to be able to shift directly to automatic
mode.
The letter A appears on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the ac-
celerator and the brake. Gears will
change automatically at the correct
moment and at a suitable engine speed
because automatic mode takes into
consideration the road surface and the
chosen driving style.
Note:
Automatic mode takes account of:
– the position and speed of depression of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimum
gear,
– action on the brake pedal, to com- mence engine braking in preparation
for a downshift.
When stopped at traffic lights, with the
gear engaged, you can keep the ve-
hicle stationary by pressing the brake
pedal without changing to neutral N.
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
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.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (4/6)
Accelerating and overtaking
– slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually,
– to obtain maximum vehicle per- formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress
the pedal will allow you to downshift
according to the vehicle’s capabili-
ties.
If the engine is being overrevved or
underevved, the system will select
the optimal gear.

Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
K
This function is managed automatically
(operation is confirmed by a warning
light on button 7), but you can also acti-
vate it manually. Manual use
Press button 7 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 7.
To exit this function, press button
7
again.
Stopping the system
Turn control 6 to “OFF” to stop the
system. To start, turn control 6 again
to adjust the blower speed or press
button 1.

NB:
– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially when driv-
ing 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.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
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.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
