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.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/4)
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.

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (1/11)
Active emergency braking
The system has two types. Depending
on the vehicle, one of the two systems
is equipped in the vehicle.
- System A
- System B
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. This func-
tion is not under any circum-
stances intended to replace
the due care and attention of the
driver, who should at all times be
in control of the vehicle.
System A is composed of the radar
sensor 1 and the front camera 2.
You can find that your vehicle is with the
system A from the shape of the front
camera area.
If your vehicle is equipped with system
A , please refer to the information on
“System A” in following pages.
Note: The radar sensor 1 is located
behind the front bumper. It’s difficult to
identify the presence of the radar. System
B is using the radar-camera
sensor 3.
You can find that your vehicle is with the
system B from the shape of the radar-
camera sensor area.
If your vehicle is equipped with system
B , please refer to the information on
“System B” in following pages.

Operation
While driving (at speeds of between 20
and 85 mph (30 and 140 km/h)), if there
is a risk of collision with the vehicle in
front, the warning light 4 will be dis-
played on the instrument panel in red,
alongside a beep.
If the driver depresses the brake pedal
and the system still detects a risk of
collision, the brake force is increased. If
the driver fails to react following an alert
of an imminent collision, the system ac-
tivates the brakes.
System A
Operating principle
Using the radar sensor, the system cal-
culates the distance separating the ve-
hicle from the one in front and alerts the
driver if there is a risk of a front-end col-
lision. The driver can then brake the ve-
hicle to limit the damage arising from a
collision.
Note: make sure that the radar sensor 1
is not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow etc.
or by the fitting of accessories such as
bullbars).4

2.47
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (9/11)
System B (continued)
Conditions for non-activation
of the system
The system cannot be activated:
– when the gear lever is in neutral;
– when the parking brake is activated;
– while cornering.
As a general rule, if the driver shows
signs of attention (action on the steering
wheel, pedals etc.), the system delays
its operation or does not activate.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
 warning light lights up
on the instrument panel, with the mes-
sage “Active braking disconnected”.
Consult an approved dealer.
Temporarily not available
When the system detects a tempo-
rary unavailability, the
 warning
light lights up on the instrument panel
accompanied by the message “Active
braking: sensor blind” or, depending on
the vehicle, “Radar-camera: no visibil-
ity”.
The possible causes are:
– the system is temporarily blinded (glare from the sun, dipped beam
headlights, bad weather conditions
etc.). The system will be operational
again when visibility conditions are
better.
– The system is temporarily disrupted (for example: windscreen obscured
by dirt, ice, snow etc.). In this case,
park the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Clean the windscreen. When
you next start the engine, the warn-
ing light and the message go out.
– If this is not the case, this may arise from another cause; contact an
Approved Dealer.

2.55
BLIND SPOT WARNING (1/4)
This system alerts the driver to other
vehicles in the detection zone A.
The system is activated when the vehi-
cle’s speed is between approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) and 140 km/h
(87 mph).
This function uses sensors 1 installed
in the front and rear bumper of both
sides.

A
Special featureMake sure that the sensors are not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
If a sensor is obscured, the message
“Blind spot clean sensor” will appear on
the instrument panel. Clean the sen-
sors.
AThis function is an addi-
tional aid which indicates
other vehicles in the blind
spot area.
It can never in any case be a subs-
titute for care nor for the driver’s
responsibility while in charge of his
vehicle.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driving:
make sure while manoeuvring that
there are no moving or movable ob-
jects (such as a child, an animal, a
pushchair or a bicycle) or small or
narrow obstacles (such as a boulder
or a post) in the blind spot area.

2.58
Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Consult
an authorised dealer.
Note: When the engine is started, the
indicator light 6 (display B) flashes
three times. It is normal.
– The system’s detection
range operates according
to a standard lane width. If
you are driving in wide traf-
fic lanes, the system might not
be able to detect a vehicle in the
blind spot.
– The system might be disrupted momentarily if it is exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves
(as beneath high-tension power
lines) or to very poor weather
conditions (heavy rain, snow,
etc.). Remain aware of driving
conditions.
There is a risk of accidents.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (4/4)
Because sensors have
been installed in the bump-
ers, any work (repairs, re-
placements, touching up of
paintwork) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.

Conditions for non-function
– If the object is not moving;
– if traffic is heavy;
– the road is winding;
– if front and rear sensors both detect objects at the same time (e.g. when
passing an articulated lorry).

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/5)
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 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
The system detects obstacles to the
front, the rear and the sides of the ve-
hicle.
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no moving obstacles (such as a
child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc.)
or small, narrow objects such as
stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-
cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by
dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

2.81
Automatic deactivation of the
parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral for manual gearboxes, or in position N
or P for automatic gearboxes.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (5/5)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, a beep sounds for approximately
3 seconds each time reverse gear is se-
lected and is accompanied by the mes-
sage “Check parking sensor” shown on
the instrument panel. Please consult an
authorised dealer.
The function can be disrupted under
certain conditions, including:
– if the sensor is obscured by dirt, mud, snow, etc, wipe it clean with
a soft damp cloth or cotton wool;
– if the sensor is frozen;
– when driving on uneven or grav- elled surfaces or slope or in bush;
– very poor weather conditions
(heavy rain, snow, etc.);
The system can not detect includ-
ing:
– small or narrow objects such as rope, etc;
– objects that can absorb ultrasonic like a sponge, snow, etc.
The system can be beeped or dis-
rupted by motorbikes, bicycles,
transmitters, etc.
