Driving
This section describes the use of the parking brake, the manual,electronic or automatic gearbox, the gear efficiency indicator and Stop & Start to help reduce fuel consumption, hill start assist, the speed limiter to avoid exceeding a programmed speed, cruise control
to maintain a programmed speed, the rear parking sensors to detectobstacles.

Rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors,
located in the rear bumper.
This detects an
y obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle, except
obstacles located just below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone or any other similar object may be detected at the beginning of themanoeuvre, but may no longer be detected when the vehicle comes close to it.
The parking sensor system cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver. The system is activated as soon as reverse
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible
signal. The proximity information is given by:


- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
th
e obstacle.

- a graphic (according to version) in the
multifunction screen, with blocks whichbecome increasingly closer to the vehicle.

Activation
When the distance between the rear of thevehicle and the obstacle is less than thirtycentimetres, the audible signal becomescontinuous and the "Danger" symbol appears
in the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit
reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.

ProgrammingOperating faults

If there is an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep)and a message in the multifunction screen. You can activate or deactivate the s
ystem bymeans of the multifunction screen configuration menu. The system state is memorised when
switching off the ignition.
For more information on access to the parkingsensors menu, refer to "Configuration/Vehic leparameters" in the "Multifunction screens"section corresponding to your screen.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Braking
To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.

Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signallingon the trailer.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOPwarning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

RACING towbar

Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a towbar. The space occupied by thesport diffuser prevents this.
