All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as much torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 50 km/h (31 mph))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 120 km/h (75 mph))
WARNI NG
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
Deactivation
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.
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
Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces (e.g. gravel, mud).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, the system 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 gradient 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.

Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when decelerating
The Brake function emulates engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.The energy recovered when the accelerator pedal is released is then used to partially recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing the vehicle's driving range.
WARNI NG
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come on.
► From mode D/R, press button B to activate/deactivate the function (the button lights up when the function is activated).D/R on the instrument panel is replaced with B.The system status is not saved when the ignition is switched off.
WARNI NG
In some situations (e.g. battery full, extreme temperatures), the amount of regenerative braking may be temporarily limited, resulting
in less deceleration.The driver must remain alert to traffic conditions and must always be ready to use the brake pedal.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the intelligent braking system automatically recovers some of the energy and uses it to recharge the traction battery.This energy recovery also reduces use of the brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
NOTIC E
The driver may experience a different sensation when depressing the brake pedal compared to a vehicle without regenerative braking.
Driving modes
Driving modes are selected using the following control:
1. Pressing the control activates Eco mode. The indicator lamp comes on. (Petrol or Diesel)2. Pressing the control displays the modes on the instrument panel.With an electric motor, when starting the vehicle, no mode can be selected until the READY indicator lamp is displayed.When the message disappears, the selected mode is activated and remains indicated on the instrument panel (except Normal mode).Whenever the ignition is switched on, Normal driving mode is selected by default.
Normal
To restore the default settings.
Eco
To reduce energy consumption by reducing the performance of the heating and air conditioning, without deactivating them.To reduce consumption of the traction battery's electrical energy by limiting engine torque.
Power (Electric)
Allows a fully laden vehicle (GVW) to obtain equivalent performance to that of an unladen vehicle in Normal mode.
NOTIC E
All modes are displayed on the instrument panel, except for Normal mode.
