Hill Descent Control limits the speed on steep
descents by aut
omatically br

aking all four
wheels, both when moving forward and in re-
verse. As the anti-lock brake system remains
active, it prevents the wheels from locking. In
vehicles with manual transmission, the Hill
Descent Control adapts the theoretical
speed without slowing the engine below its
idling speed.
After starting the descent of a slope below
30 km/h (18 mph), speed is limited to a mini-
mum of 2 km/h (1 mph) and a maximum of
30 km/h (18 mph). When appropriate, the
driver may increase or decrease the speed
within the limit by pressing the accelerator or the brake. At this point the function is interrup-
ted and, if necessary, it is then r

eactivated.
Even so, it is imperative that the surface guar-
antees sufficient adhesion. For this reason,
the Hill Descent Control will not fulfil its func-
tion when, for example, descending a slope
with a frozen or slippery surface.
Hill Descent Control is available when the
dash panel display shows the message k .
Hill Descent Control automatically intervenes
if the following conditions are met:

Start and driving
sportier, more direct and noticeably more dy-
namic driving sensation.
St eering assist
This help assists the driv
er in critical situa-
tions. It recommends turning the steering
wheel to perform a corrective manoeuvre
(counter-steering), turning slightly to avoid
skidding ››› .
WARNING
Steering assist helps the driver in critical
sit uations. The driv

er is the person who has
to control the vehicle's steering at all times. Control lamp

If the warning light does not come on again after re-
starting the engine and driving a short distance, it is
not necessary to check the steering.

OR: The st eering column does not unlock or lock.
T
urn off the ignition and turn it on again. Consider the
messages shown on the instrument panel display.
Do not continue driving if the steering column re-
mains locked after switching on the ignition. Seek
specialist assistance. The control lamp should light up for a few
seconds when the ignition is s
wit

ched on. It
should go out once the engine is started. WARNING
Never ignore the warning lamps or messag-
es.

Driving
Engine
Depending on the pr ofil
e selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed. When the Eco pro-
file is selected, the Start-stop function is
activated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change timing is changed to put the
changes at higher or lower revolutions. The
Eco profile activates the Inertia function,
thereby reducing consumption. The rest of
the driving profiles will activate the inertia use
function when the selector lever is not in the S
position, depending on how the accelerator
pedal is released ››› page 233
. When the ve-
hicle is turned on again, the function is activa-
ted by default to reduce consumption.
With manual transmission, the Eco profile
changes the gear change recommendations
to facilitate more efficient driving.
Dynamic chassis control (DCC)*
DCC continuously adapts the shock absorb-
ers to the condition of the road and current
driving conditions, according to the pre-set
programme.
In the event of a fault in the DCC, the follow-
ing message is displayed on the instrument screen Fault: shock absorber regula-
tion
Steering
The po
wer steering varies its driving modes
and adapts to the profile selected, thus offer-
ing the best behaviour for each situation.
Air conditioning
The Climatronic* can operate in Eco mode
with particularly limited consumption.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Depending on the driving profile, the perform-
ance of the ACC varies, to allow more sporty
acceleration and braking or a more respect-
ful fuel consumption.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
In the Offroad and Snow driving profiles, the
electronic stability Control (ESC)
››› page 278 adjusts to adapt to the terrain.
In addition, hill descent control (HDC) is acti-
vated in the Offroad profile ››› page 236
.
PreCrash system
The PreCrash system adapts according to
the selected configuration. The Sport and
Offroad driving profiles have specific settings to adapt them to driving and terrain charac-
teristics

Changing gear in CCS mode
The CCS decelerates as soon as the clutch
pedal is pressed, intervening again automati-
cally after a gear is engaged.
Travelling down hills with the CCS
If the CCS cannot maintain a constant vehi-
cle speed downhill, brake and change down
a gear if necessary. The GRA is temporarily
disabled by pressing the brake.
Automatic off
The GRA disconnects automatically or is
temporarily interrupted:

Fr ont Assist is enabl

ed between 4 km/h (2.5
mph) and 250 km/h (156 mph). Depending
on a range of conditions, some of the func-
tions described below are omitted to optimize
the behaviour of the system.
Front Assist is a driving assistance function
that can never replace the driver’s atten-
tion.
Safety distance warning
If the system detects that you are driving too
close to the vehicle in front, it will warn the
driver with this indication on the instrument
panel display

Driver assistance systems
ACC detects it and adapts the speed au-
t omatically, maint
aining a distance set by
the driver.
Does my vehicle have ACC?
Your vehicle has ACC if it has a configuration
menu in the infotainment system ››› page 90
and if it has the ACC function buttons on the
multifunction steering wheel ››› Fig. 185
.
Speed range
ACC regulates speeds between 30 km/h (20
mph) and 210 km/h (130 mph). 1)
If the vehicle is fitted with an automatic gear-
box, the ACC can bring the vehicle to a
standstill if a vehicle in front of it stops.
If your vehicle is fitted with a manual gearbox,
you must pay attention to speed and gear
changes. The ACC is deactivated if the
speed is too low (less than 30 km/h) of the
engine RPM is too low or high.
Driver intervention prompt ACC is subject to certain limitations in-
herent to the system. This means that
the driver will have to control the speed
and distance from other vehicles in cer-
tain situations. In this case, the instru-
 ment cluster display will tell you t
o in-
tervene by applying the brake, and an
audio warning will be played.
Radar sensors
The ACC uses the front radar technology.
Read its maintenance instructions and infor-
mation about its limitations ››› page 243
. WARNING
The ACC’s technology cannot overcome
the syst em's inher

ent limitations or change
the laws of physics. If used negligently or
involuntarily, it may cause serious acci-
dents and injuries. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.

Driving
Avoid undertaking on the right 1)
If a v ehicl
e is detected in the left lane that is
travelling at a speed slower than that set by
the driver, it will brake the vehicle within the
comfort limits of the system to avoid passing
it on the right ››› Fig. 187
.
You can cancel this regulation by changing
the set speed or by pressing the accelerator
pedal.
The function works at speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph). It may not be available in certain
countries.
Overtaking
When the turn signal is switched on for over-
taking, the ACC reduces the distance from
the vehicle in front to help with the overtaking
manoeuvre. The set cruising speed will not be
exceeded.
The function works at speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph). It may not be available in certain
countries.
Stop&Go function
 Valid for: vehicles with an automatic gearbox
The ACC can bring the vehicle to a standstill
(0 km/h) if the vehicle in front stops. The ACC remains active and the message
ACC ready to start is displayed on the in-
strument clust
er for a few seconds. You can
extend or reactivate this warning by pressing
the button  or, depending on your vehicle’s equipment, by grabbing the steering wheel.
During this time, the vehicle will move off
again if the vehicle in front moves forwards.
To move off when the message ACC ready
to start is not longer displayed, once the
vehicle in front has moved off:
