DCS GEARBOX
The six-speed electronically controlled
gearbox offers a choice between the
comfort of automatic regulation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
This gearbox has three driving modes:
- a manual mode for changing of
the gears by the driver using the
steering mounted controls or the
gear lever,
- a " Normal " automatic mode for
economical control of the gears
(everyday use),
- a " Sport " automatic mode which
permits a more dynamic style of
driving, with improved acceleration
and optimised engine braking. When you move the lever in the gate to
select a position, the corresponding in-
dicator or message is displayed on the
instrument panel.

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL
4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive and provides optimum traction re-
gardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the
torque between the front and rear axles
is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
guaranteeing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are avail-
able and can be selected manually
by the driver in accordance with his
requirements.
You can change transmission mode
when stationary or while driving at a
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h) .
The transmission mode can be selected
by turning the control A .
Display on the instrument panel
The transmission mode is displayed in
the form of an intermittent display on
the instrument panel screen when the
transmission mode is selected.
Selecting the transmission mode
The selection of this mode is recom-
mended when the level of grip permits.
2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two
wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a
tarmacked road on which the driver
considers that there is no risk of loss of
grip (dry road).
4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or diffi cult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).
System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.

cumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
System which automatically maintains
the vehicle speed at the value pro-
grammed by the driver, without any ac-
tion on the accelerator pedal.

The cruise control is
switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
25 mph (40 km/h) minimum and sec-
ond gear must be engaged in the case
of a manual gearbox.

The cruise control is switched off man-
ually, by an action on the brake or clutch
pedal or if the ASC system is triggered.

The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.

Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
SENSORS
It detects obstacles (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehi-
cle, but it cannot detect obstacles locat-
ed immediately below the bumper. Activation
The parking sensors are activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more frequent as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
moves closer to it.
Location of the sensors
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:
- two side sensors
A
- two central sensors B . Vehicle only
Vehicle fi tted with a towbar
Detection zones
The detection zones differ depending
on whether the vehicle is fi tted with a
towbar.
If you select towbar mode, the towbar
zone
C is excluded from the detection
zones.
The parking sensor system cannot,
in any circumstances, take the place
of the need for vigilance and respon-
sibility on the part of the driver.
Sensors

Distance
between vehicle and obstacle less than:
Side A Approximately
25 cm
Central B
without towbar Approximately
40 cm
Central B
with towbar Approximately
60 cm
System consisting of proximity sensors
installed in the rear bumper.

CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level
The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick. The brake fl uid level should be
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
Screenwash and headlamp wash * fluid
Check the fl uid level regularly,
using the gauge.
* According to country.
Changing the engine oil
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

gine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.
Changing the coolant fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations for optimum

idle.
Check that the power steering fl uid
level is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks and top up if necessary.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
