Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored.
The green
 and  indicator lights
on the instrument panel go out, con-
firming that the function is deactivated.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been stored, it is possi-
ble to recall it by pressing button 5 (R),
on condition that you are driving faster
than 20 mph (30 km/h) and that you are
sure that the road conditions are suit-
able (traffic, road surface condition,
weather conditions, etc.).
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control is on
standby, pressing the (+) buttons 2
reactivates the cruise control func-
tion without taking into account the
stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an auto-
matic gearbox;
– press switch 4 (O).
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
stored.
Standby is confirmed when the green
 warning light goes out and the
“SPEED MEMORY” message appears
on the instrument panel.
CRUISE CONTROL (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

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 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic
sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, condensation etc.).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
Operation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 1 comes on.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the
screen
1 shows the vehicle surround-
ings alongside the beeps.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: al\
ways
ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a chil\
d, animal,
pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.

Temporary deactivation of
the system
(depending on vehicle)
Press switch 2 to deactivate the system:
The indicator light built into the switch
lights up to remind you that the system
is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.
The system is automatically reactivated
after the ignition is switched off and the
engine restarted.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/2)
Operating faultsWhen the system detects an operating
fault, a beep sounds for about 3 sec-
onds as a warning. Consult an ap-
proved dealer
In the event of an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g. striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture) this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g. twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved dealer.
2
Prolonged deactivation of the
system
You can deactivate the system perma-
nently by pressing and holding switch 2.
The warning light built into the switch
remains lit constantly.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.

2.40
REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
Operation
Moving into reverse gear, the camera 1
located on the rear hinged door pro-
vides a view of the area behind the
vehicle on the rear-view mirror 2 or,
depending on the vehicle, on the mul-
timedia display 3, accompanied by one
or two (moving and fixed) guide lines 4
and 5.
Note: make sure that the reversing
camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, condensation, etc.). NB: Depending on the vehicle, you can
adjust certain settings from the multi-
media display
3. 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:
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 (2/2)
The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation
projected onto flat ground; this in-
formation must not be taken into
account when superimposed on a
vertical object or an object on the
ground.
Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in
sunshine etc.), the camera vision
may be adversely affected.
If the rear doors are open or poorly
closed, the camera display disap-
pears and, depending on the ve-
hicle, the message “BOOT OPEN”
appears.
Dynamic gauge 4 (depending on the
vehicle)
This is shown in blue on the multimedia
display 3. It indicates the vehicle tra-
jectory according to the position of the
steering wheel.
Static guide line 5:
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 centi-
metres 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.
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.

only)
3 : displays the gear engaged in manual
mode.
Operation
With gear lever 1 in position P, start the
engine.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
the unlocking button 2.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light
Ó 4 on the display
goes out), move the lever out of posi-
tion P.
Only engage D or R when the vehicle
is stopped and the engine running,
with your foot on the brake and the
accelerator pedal released.

Note: depending on the vehicle, when
the selector lever 1 is in a position other
than P, display 3 of the gear selected
flashes. Starting is impossible. Move
the lever 1 to position P, switch on the
ignition.
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.: de-
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved dealer.

2.43
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/3)Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears, push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, electronic stability
program (ESP) operational etc.: ESC)
the automatic system may change gear
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.

Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi-
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In most traffic conditions, you will not
have to touch the gear selector lever
again: the gears will change automati-
cally at the right time and at the most
suitable engine speed because the au-
tomatic system takes into account the
vehicle load and road contour and ad-
justs itself to the particular driving style
you have chosen.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

2.44
Operating faults
– When driving, if the “CHECK
GEARBOX” message and the
© warning light appear on the
instrument panel, this indicates a
fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– When driving, if the message
“GEARBOX OVERHEATING” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, drive
at a moderate speed and avoid lea-
ving the gearstick in the D (or R) po-
sition, where traffic conditions allow:
always return to N while the vehicle
is stationary.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– If a vehicle with an automatic gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/3)
Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (eg. in the mountains), we rec-
ommend that you change to manual
mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gear repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling..
