ASSISTED PARKING (3/4)
Your speed should not exceed around
4 mph (7 km/h).
Once in position to exit the space, the
system will notify you of the end of the
manoeuvre.
Once the warning light
 on the
instrument panel goes off and a beep
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.
Suspending the manoeuvreThe manoeuvre is suspended in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
– you take control of the wheel;
– a door or the boot is opened;
– the vehicle is at a standstill for too long;
– an obstacle in the direction of move- ment prevents the manoeuvre from
being completed;
– the engine will stop.
Once the warning light
 on the
instrument panel goes off and a beep
sounds, the manoeuvre has been sus-
pended. To resume the manoeuvre,
press and hold the system activation
switch. In this case, the reason for suspending
the manoeuvre will be displayed on the
multifunction screen.
Make sure:
– you have released the steering
wheel;
and
– that all doors and the boot are closed;
and

following cases:
– by pressing the system activation switch;
– the vehicle speed has exceeded 4 mph (7 km/h);
– you have performed more than ten forwards/backwards movements in
one manoeuvre;
– the parking distance control sensors are dirty or blocked;
– the vehicle wheels have skidded.
Once the warning light
 on the
instrument panel goes off and a beep
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.
Exiting a parallel parking space

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
c on the display goes
out), move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake, the accelerator pedal released
and the engine running.

Selector lever 1
P: park
R: reverse
N: Neutral
D: automatic mode
M: manual mode
+: upper gear
–: lower gear
The gear engaged is displayed on the
instrument panel B and on the dis-
play A.
Note: press button 2 to go from position
D or N to R or P.
Driving in automatic mode
Put lever 1 into position D.
In most road conditions you will en-
counter, you will not need to touch your
lever again: the gears will change au-
tomatically at the right time and at the
most suitable engine speed because
the automatic system takes into ac-
count the vehicle load and road contour
and adjusts itself to the particular driv-
ing style you have chosen.
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.
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.

Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode. This will prevent the
automatic gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– 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.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special casesIn certain driving conditions (result-
ing in, for example, engine protection,
operation of the Electronic Stability
Control programme: ESC etc.) the au-
tomated system may change the 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.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
Move the selector lever 1 to position D,
then move the lever to the right into po-
sition M.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– to move down through the gears, push the lever forwards;
– to move up through the gears, push the lever backwards.

When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.
Check that the indicator
light P on the instrument
panel is activated before
leaving the vehicle.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of
the vehicle

3.2
MULTI-SENSE (1/2)
The Multi-Sense system enables once
of five modes to be selected which, de-
pending on the vehicle, affect the drive,
the light environment, the comfort and
the engine noise:
– modes Comfort , Neutral, Eco and Sport are preset and associated with
customisable light environments and
engine noise;
– mode Perso is fully customisable.
The drive modes affect the:
– power-assisted steering;
– engine and gearbox responsiveness;
– heating level.
They also affect the:
– passenger compartment and instru- ment panel lighting;
– instrument panel and multifunction screen information;
– engine noise;
– massage seat.
After each start-up, the vehicle uses the
mode set at the time the engine was
last switched off.
Mode Comfort
This mode favours smooth steering.
The interior environment is softened.
Mode Neutral
Default mode, mode Neutral selects the
vehicle factory settings.
Mode Eco
Mode Eco is geared towards saving
energy and the environment. The
steering is smooth, engine and gearbox
management enable fuel consumption
to be lowered. Air conditioning is man-
aged to be used only when necessary.
Please refer to the information on
“Driving advice, Eco-driving” in
Section 2.
Multi-Sense
Sport Eco
Neutral Comfort Perso

Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation speed
by pressing buttons 11 or 18 or by slid-
ing your finger in zone 20.
Temperature adjustmentThere are two types of settings:
– uniform passenger compartment
setting;
– DUAL function setting to independ- ently adjust the left and right sides.
Uniform passenger compartment
setting
Use control 7.
DUAL function setting
Press button 15 to activate. Use con-
trol 7 to adjust the left side and control 2
for the right side.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
