To indicate that the electronic parking
brake is released, a beep sounds and
the message “Apply parking brake” ap-
pears on the instrument panel:
– with the engine running: when the driver’s door is opened;
– for vehicles not fitted with Stop and Start, with the engine switched off
(e.g when the engine stalls): when a
front door is opened.
In this case, pull and release switch 3 to
apply the assisted parking brake.
Assisted release of the parking
brake
The brake will be released as soon as

Start function, with the engine on
standby, the electronic parking brake is
automatically activated if the driver un-
fastens their seat belt or opens the driv-
er's door or gets out of their seat.Brief stop
To apply the electronic parking brake
manually (when stopping at a red light,
or stopping when the engine is running,
etc.): pull and release the switch 3. The
brake is released as soon as the vehi-
cle is started up again.
Special cases
To park on a slope or while towing a
trailer, for example, pull switch 3 for
a few seconds to gain the maximum
braking.
To park the vehicle without applying the
electronic parking brake (if there is a
risk of freezing, for example):
– with the engine running, while si- multaneously depressing the brake
pedal and the switch 3, stop the
engine (do not put it on standby for
vehicles fitted with Stop and Start);
– in gear, release the brake pedal and switch 3.
Manual operationYou can control the electronic parking
brake manually.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (3/3)Operating faults
– If there is a fault, the © warning
light illuminates on the instrument
panel accompanied by the “Check
parking brake” message and, in
some cases, the
} warning
light.
Please contact an authorised dealer
as soon as possible.
– If there is an assisted parking brake fault, the warning light
® comes
on, along with the message “Braking
system fault”, a beep and, in some
cases, the warning light
}.
This means that you must stop as
soon as traffic conditions allow.
Versions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, automatic release
is deactivated when the driver’s door
is open or not shut properly and the
engine is running (in order to prevent
the vehicle from moving without the
driver). The “Release parking brake
manually” message appears on the
instrument panel when the driver de-
presses the accelerator.
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au-
tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-
quires it, chock the vehicle.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selec-
tor lever to position P and
switching off the engine.
This is because when the vehicle is
stationary with the engine running
and a gear engaged, the vehicle
may begin to move.
There is a risk of accidents.If no lights or sounds are ap-
parent, this indicates a fault
in the instrument panel. This
indicates that it is essential
to stop immediately (as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow). Ensure that the
vehicle is correctly immobilised and
contact an approved Dealer.
In the event of message
“Electric failure DANGER”
or “Check battery”, manu-
ally activate the electronic
parking brake by pulling switch 3 (or
position the gear lever in P for au-
tomatic gearboxes) before stopping
the engine.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of
the vehicle.
Contact an authorised dealer.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/6)
ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which opti-
mises fuel consumption. It acts upon
certain power consuming systems in
the vehicle (heating, air conditioning,
power-assisted steering etc.) and on
certain driving actions (acceleration,
gear changing, cruise control, deceler-
ation etc.).
Limiting acceleration enables low fuel
consumption in urban and surrounding
areas. When ECO mode is in use, it is
normal to notice a change in the heat-
ing level.
Activating the function
The function can be activated:
– by pressing switch 6.
– by pressing the switch 7 (please refer
to the information on “Multi-Sense” in
Section 3);
– from the navigation menu on the multimedia screen (please refer to
the multimedia instructions).
The warning light
 comes on on
the instrument panel to confirm activa-
tion. Disabling the function
Press switch 6.
The warning light
 goes out on
the instrument panel to confirm deac-
tivation.
While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
For this, depress the accelerator pedal
firmly and fully.
ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/5)
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 the direction se-
lected by the driver and the actual di-
rection of the vehicle and corrects this
as necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the engine
power. If the system is triggered, the
 indicator light flashes on the in-
strument 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.
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.
