up, an indicator light on the instrument
panel lights up.
To return to the dipped headlight posi-
tion, pull stalk 1 towards you again.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (2/5)
“See-me-home lighting”
function
This function allows you to briefly switch
on the dipped beam headlights (to pro-
vide light when opening a gate, etc.).
With the engine and lights off, and
ring 3 in position 0, pull stalk 1 towards
you: the dipped beam headlights come
on for approximately one minute. To in-
crease this duration, you may pull the
stalk up to four times (total time limited
to two minutes). To switch off the lights
before they go out automatically, turn
ring 3 to any position, then return it to
position 0.
Cornering lights
Depending on the vehicle, if the dipped
beam headlights are on when corner-
ing, and under certain driving condi-
tions (speed, steering wheel angle, for-
wards gear selected, etc.), additional
lights are switched on to light the inside
of the bend.
Note: under certain conditions of pro-
longed use, this system will be switched
off automatically as it is intended for
use over limited periods.

warn drivers of other vehicles that you
have had to stop in an area where stop-
ping is prohibited or unexpected, or that
you are obliged to drive under special
conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on automati-
cally under heavy deceleration. You can
switch them off by pressing switch 3.

RUNNING IN, IGNITION SWITCH
Start position D
If the engine fails to start at the first at-
tempt, turn the key back before activat-
ing the starter again. Release the key
as soon as the engine starts.
Note: several seconds may pass be-
tween turning the key and the engine
starting to allow for engine preheating.
Special note on vehicles with a se-
quential gearbox
Depress the brake pedal with the lever
in the N position.
Note: If a gear other than neutral is dis-
played, it flashes; starting is not pos-
sible unless you depress the brake
pedal, while holding the key in the start-
ing position.

When the ignition is switched off, any
accessories (radio, etc.) will continue to
function.
Ignition on position M
With the ignition on, the engine will be
preheating.
In the “Accessories” or “On” posi-
tion, a system may automatically
switch off your vehicle’s accessories
depending on the battery charge, to
prevent it from discharging com-
pletely.
Up to 900 miles (1,500 km), do not exceed 2,500 rpm or approximately
54 mph (90 km/h) in the highest gear.
After completing this mileage you may
drive faster, although you may only
expect top performance after approxi-
mately 3,600 miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do not ac-
celerate hard while the engine is still
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for the vehicle.

STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine
Turn the ignition key to the “Ignition on”
position M and hold this position until
the engine preheating warning light
É goes out.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key to
the “Stop” position St.
Starting the vehicle
For rear-wheel drive versions on
level ground, with the vehicle un-
laden, we recommend that you start
in second gear.
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as air bags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Never start your vehicle
while freewheeling on a
gradient. Risk of non-acti-
vation of power-assisted
steering.
There is a risk of accidents.
Depending on the vehicle, if a gear is
engaged, the message “Depress clutch
+ start” is displayed on the instrument
panel. Press the clutch pedal.
Turn the key to starter position D with-
out depressing the accelerator
pedal.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.

Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an- ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/8)
Operating faults:
–
© and x lit up on the in-
strument panel accompanied by the
messages “CHECK ABS”, “check
braking system” and “CHECK ESC”:
the ABS, the ESC and the emer-
gency brake assist are disabled.
Braking is always enabled;
–
x, D, © and ®
lit on the instrument panel accom-
panied by the message “BRAKING
FAULT”: this indicates a fault with
the braking system.
In both cases, please consult an
Authorised Dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any
way improve the vehicle's physical per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. It is still essential to
follow the rules of good driving practice
(such as driving at a safe distance from
the vehicle in front etc.).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS);
– electronic stability program (ESC) with understeer control and trac-
tion control;
– driver assistance with a trailer;
– emergency brake assist;
– active emergency braking;
– grip control;
– hill start assistance.
Other driving assistance systems are
detailed on the following pages.

2.17
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ESC” and
warning light
© and  appear
on the instrument panel. In this case,
the ESC and traction control system
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Electronic stability program
(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.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/8)
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.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
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 vigi-
lance or responsibility of the driver
when manoeuvring the vehicle (the
driver must always be ready for
sudden incidents which may occur
when driving).

2.18
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/8)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “CHECK ABS”
appears on the instrument panel along
with the
© warning light.
Consult an approved dealer.
Driver assistance with a
trailer
This system helps to maintain control
over the vehicle while using a trailer.
It detects shaking caused by towing a
trailer under certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
– The towbar must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the harness must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the towbar must be connected to the vehicle.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
– asymmetric braking of the front wheels to reduce shaking caused by
the trailer;
– braking of all four wheels and limita- tion on engine torque to reduce the
vehicle speed until the shaking has
stopped.
Warning light
 flashes on the in-
strument panel to inform the driver.
Active emergency braking
Using the sensor 1, the system calcu-
lates the distance separating the vehi-
cle 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 sensor 1 is
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
