The
gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive

ear taking account of:
-
o
ptimisation of fuel consumption,
-
d
riving style,
-

-

For
optimum acceleration, when

the point of resistance.
Temporary control of gear

You can temporarily take over control of gear changes using the steering mounted "+" and

stationary
or at speeds below 5 mph
(
8 km/h) (depending on version), in neutral
(
control on N )
or when you press the brake
ped
al. Never
refuel with the engine in STOP
m
ode; you must switch off the ignition.
For
your comfort, during parking
m
anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
a
vailable for a few seconds after
coming
out of reverse gear.
The
Stop & Start system does not affect
t

f
or example braking, power steering...
The

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
I t controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from
a
parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move
f
or wards and backwards more than once.
The
Park Assist system cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The
driver must remain in control of
t
heir vehicle ensuring that the space
r
emains clear during the manoeuvre.
In
some circumstances, the sensors
m
ay not detect small obstacles located
i
n their blind spots. Changing
tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
w
inter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
t
he correct operation of the parking
a
ssistance system.
During
a manoeuvre the steering wheel
t
urns quickly: do not hold the steering
w
heel, do not place your hand between
the
spokes of the steering wheel and
t
ake care with loose and bulky clothing,
s
carves, handbags... There is a risk of
in
jury. For
entry into a parking space (parallel
p
arking) the system does not detect
s
paces which are clearly much smaller
o
r larger than the size of the vehicle.
This
"parking assistance" system
i
s activated automatically during
m
anoeuvres; it is therefore possible
t
hat a symbol comes on in the screen,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal,
w
ithout affecting the manoeuvre.The
selection of the type of manoeuvre
(
entering or exiting a parallel parking
s
pace) prevents a change to STOP
m
ode of Stop & Start.
In
STOP mode, this selection restarts
t
he
eng
ine.
The
driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line
with the recommendations on the
t
yre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the
system has been done with the
p
ressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not give a warning if a pressure is
i
ncorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This
is
given
by

illumination
of

lamp,
accompanied
by
a

signal
and
the
display
of

It
is
necessary to reinitialise the system every
