NOTIC E
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine or of the brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.These systems are reactivated automatically from 50 km/h (31 mph) and whenever the ignition is switched on.
WARNI NG
RecommendationsYour vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to occasionally drive on other less passable terrain.However, it does not permit off-road driving such as:– crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the underbody or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones in particular,– driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip,– crossing a stream.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
System that provides assistance when descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of control of the vehicle when descending, whether going forward or in reverse.During a descent, it assists the driver in maintaining a constant speed, depending on the gear engaged, while progressively releasing the brakes.
NOTIC E
For the system to activate, the slope must be greater than 5%.The system can be used with the gearbox in neutral.Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.With an automatic gearbox, the system can be used with the selector at N, D or R.
WARNI NG
When the system is regulating, the Active Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
NOTIC E
The system is not available:– if the speed of the vehicle is above 70 km/h (43 mph),– if the speed of the vehicle is being controlled by the Adaptive Cruise Control, depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.The driver can select the system when the engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary or when moving at speeds up to approximately 50 km/h (31 mph).
► To select the system, at speeds below 50 km/h (31 mph), press this button until its indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green in the instrument panel.The system becomes active at speeds below 30 km/h (19 mph).

Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic pretensioning system and force limiter.This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.
