xAnti-lock braking warning
light
It lights up when the ignition or the
engine is switched on and goes off after
a few seconds.
If it lights up when you are driving, it in-
dicates a fault in the anti-lock braking
system.
Braking will then be as normal, without
the ABS. Contact an approved Dealer
as soon as possible.
ÔCoolant temperature warn-
ing light
This lights up red when the ignition is
switched on or the engine is started.
If it turns red, stop and let the engine
idle for a minute or two.
The temperature should drop.
Otherwise, stop the engine. Let the
engine cool down before checking the
coolant.
Contact an approved Dealer.
WARNING LIGHTS (3/6)
UVariable power-assisted
steering warning light
It lights up when the ignition or the
engine is switched on and goes off after
a few seconds.
If it comes on while driving, alongside
the warning light
®, this means
there is a system fault.
Contact an authorised dealer.
©Warning light
This lights up when the ignition
or engine is switched on and goes out
as soon as the engine is running. It can
light up in conjunction with other warn-
ing lights and/or messages on the in-
strument panel.
It means you should drive very care-
fully to an approved dealer as soon as
possible. If you fail to follow this recom-
mendation, you risk damaging your ve-
hicle.
ÄToxic Fume Filter System
Warning Light
On vehicles which are equipped with it,
if the vehicle is in the engine standby
phase this light comes on when you
start the engine and, depending on the
vehicle, when you switch off the ignition
(refer to the information on the "Stop
and Start function" in Section 2) then
goes out.
– If it lights up continuously, consult your approved dealer as soon as
possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
Please refer to the information on
“Maintenance and anti-pollution advice”
in Section 2.

The “Hybrid Assist” system uses an
electric motor to improve performance
of the combustion engine (acceleration,
starting on a slope etc.). The vehicle
has more acceleration torque available
while consuming less fuel.
BatteriesYour electric vehicle has two types of
battery:
– a 48 V traction battery;
– secondary 12 V battery.
“48 volt” traction battery
Located under the rear floor, this bat-
tery stores the energy recovered during
phases of deceleration. This energy is
used by the hybrid system to provide
additional torque to the combustion
engine.
“HYBRID ASSIST" SYSTEM: introduction (3/5)
Secondary 12V battery
The 12 V battery supplies the energy
required to operate vehicle equipment
(lights, windscreen wipers, ABS etc).
Please see the information under
“12 volt battery” in Section 4.
“48 volt” electrical circuit
The 48 V electrical circuit is denoted
by orange cables and parts bearing the
symbol
ṑ.
All interventions or modi-
fications to the vehicle’s
48 volt electrical system
(components, cables, con-
nectors, traction battery) are strictly
prohibited due to the risks this may
present to your safety. Call an ap-
proved Dealer.
Risk of electric shock.
A
The A symbol denotes the electrical
elements of your vehicle which may
present health risks.
The traction battery does
not require any mainte-
nance. You should not open
it or add any fluid.
Risk of electric shock.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/5)ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
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 perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. 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.).
– ABS (anti-lock braking system) ;
– ESC
(electronic stability control)
with understeer control and trac-
tion control;
– emergency brake assist;
– hill start assistance.
Other driving assistance systems are
detailed on the following pages.
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.
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).

2.36
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
Operating faults:
–
© and x lit up on the in-
strument panel accompanied by the
messages “Check ABS”, “Check
braking system” and “Check ESC”:
this indicates that the ABS, the ESC
and the emergency brake assist are
disabled. Braking is always ena-
bled;
–
x, D, © and ®
lit on the instrument panel accom-
panied by the message “Braking
system fault”: this indicates a fault
in the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
dealer.
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.Warning light ® re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Switch off the engine and do
not restart it. Contact an approved
Dealer.

2.38
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/5)
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. Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check brak-
ing system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.

2.50
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due\
care
and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the camera alignment may be changed, and its \
operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.
– Any work in the area where the camera is located (repairs, replacements\
, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.
Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.
In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.);
– a complex environment (tunnel etc.);
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– road markings which are worn, lacking in contrast or very widely spaced \
from one another (lines partially erased etc);
– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposi\
te direction etc.);
– the road is narrow, winding or undulating (tight bends etc.);
– closely following a vehicle travelling in the same lane.
Risk of false alarms or absence of warnings
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (4/4)

2.77
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (4/8)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
When exceeding this speed, the cruis-
ing speed and the following bars show
red and the cruising speed flashes on
the instrument panel: the distance con-
trol function is no longer activated.
Then, release the accelerator: cruise
and distance control will automatically
reactivate unless the function has been
set to standby.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if:
– you press switch 4 (O);
– you depress the brake pedal;
– you depress the clutch pedal;
– you use the gear lever;
– the engine speed is too low or too high;
– the vehicle speed is lower than 24.8 mph (40 km/h) or over
105.4 mph (170 km/h);
– certain driver correction devices and aids are triggered (ABS, ESC, etc.)
In the latter three cases, the message
“Adaptive cruise ct disconnected” is
displayed on the instrument panel when
the function is set to standby.
Standby is confirmed by the display of
the cruising speed in grey and the mes-
sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”. Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road con-
ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch
3 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above around 31 mph (50 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled,
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed by the illumination of the cruis-
ing speed in green, along with the mes-
sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”.
When the cruise control is set to
standby, pressing switch 2, side a (+),
reactivates the cruise control function
without taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the vehi-
cle is moving that is taken into account.
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate to reach this
threshold.
