This system helps to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving situations (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip when cornering, etc.) and works in conjunc- tion with the ‘understeer control’ system.
Electronic Stability Program: ESP
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
When the E.S.P. function starts oper-
ating, warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa- nied by the ‘traction control deselected’ message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the E.S.P. in the case of pronounced understeering (loss of front axle road holding).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle measure the actual direction.
The system compares the direction se- lected by the driver and the actual di- rection of the vehicle and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power.

Deactivating the A.S.R.
function results in the E.S.P. function being deactivated. Refer to the information on the “Traction control: ASR” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat- ing fault the message “Check ESP” ap- pears on the instrument panel along
with warning lights © and A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
The function is deactivated by pressing
switch 1; warning light A will come on to warn you that the system has been deactivated.
This action also deactivates the trac- tion control mechanism: the message ‘ASR deselected’ appears on the in- strument panel. Refer to the informa- tion on “Traction control” in the follow- ing pages.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati- cally when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Traction control: ASR
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
The system also adjusts the engine speed to the grip available under the wheels, independently of the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function begins to operate,
warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa- nied by the ‘traction control deselected’ message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system measures and compares the speed of the drive wheels at all times and slows down their over-rotation.
If a wheel is starting to slip, the system brakes automatically until the drive sup- plied becomes compatible with the level of grip under the wheel again.
This system helps to limit skidding on drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away or accelerating.

Deactivating the A.S.R. function results in the E.S.P. function being deactivated. Refer to the information on the “Electronic stability program: E.S.P.” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat- ing fault the message “Check E.S.P.” appears on the instrument panel along
with the © warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very wet ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with snow chains fitted), the system may reduce the engine output to limit wheel- spin. If this is not required, it is possible to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The ‘traction control deselected’ mes- sage is displayed on the instrument panel along with warning light A to inform you.
Disabling the function also disables the E.S.P. function.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati- cally when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Emergency brake assist
This function is an addi- tional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav- iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the vigilance or re- sponsibility of the driver when ma- noeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden in- cidents which may occur when driv- ing).
This system supplements the ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis- tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer- gency braking situation. In this case, the braking assistance immediately de- velops maximum power and may trig- ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights

Depending on the vehicle, these may light up in the event of sudden decel- eration.

Varying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by pressing repeatedly or holding down:
– switch
2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch
3 (-) to decrease the speed.
The system is designed in such a way that it is possible to detect a dif- ference between the stored speed and the speed shown on the instru- ment panel.
Driving
When a limit speed has been stored, if this speed is not reached the vehicle behaves in a similar way to those with- out the speed limiter function.
From this point, no effort on the accel- erator pedal will allow you to exceed the programmed speed except in an emergency (refer to information on “Exceeding the limit speed”).
Switching on
Press switch 1 on the side showing
Ð. This indicator light on the instru- ment panel comes on.
Limiting the speed
At a steady speed (above 20 mph
(30 km/ h)), press switch 2 (+): the speed is stored.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (2/3)
The speed limiter function is in no way linked to the brak- ing system.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (3/3)
Recalling the limit speed
A stored speed can be recalled by
pressing switch 5 (R) until the message “Speed limiter” is displayed.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency
It is possible to exceed the limit speed at any moment. To do this: press the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond the kickdown point).
Whilst the speed is being exceeded, the cruising speed displayed on the in- strument panel flashes.
When the emergency has passed, re- lease the accelerator pedal: the speed
limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the limit speed before the emergency.
Limit speed cannot be maintained
In some driving conditions (for example when driving up or down a steep gradi- ent), the system is unable to maintain the limit speed: the stored speed on the instrument panel information display will flash to inform you of this situation.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is interrupted when you press:
– switch
4 (O), in which case the limit speed remains stored and the mes- sage “Stored” appears on the instru- ment panel;
– switch
1, in which case the limit speed is no longer stored, and the in- dicator light on the instrument panel goes out to confirm that the function has been cancelled.

The cruise control function helps you to maintain your driving speed at a speed that you choose, called the cruising speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
Cruise control
This function is an addi- tional driving aid. However, the function does not take the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum- stances replace the driver’s respon- sibility to respect speed limits and to be vigilant (the driver must always be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in heavy traffic, on undulating or slip- pery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
The cruise control function is in no way linked to the braking system.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
3 Cruising speed activation, storage and decrease switch (-).
4 Switch the function to standby (with memorisation of governed cruising speed) (O).
5 Recall of memorised governed cruis- ing speed (R).

Driving
Once a cruising speed is stored and the cruise control function is active, you may lift your foot off the accelera- tor pedal.
Important: you are never- theless advised to keep your feet close to the pedals in order to react if neces- sary.
The system is designed in such a way that it is possible to detect a dif- ference between the stored speed and the speed shown on the instru- ment panel.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above 20 mph
(30 km/h) approximately) press switch 2
(+) or 3 (-): the speed is stored.
Cruise control activation is confirmed
when indicator light 6 is lit up in green
in addition to indicator light 7.
Switching on
Press switch 1 on the side showing
Ï.
Indicator light
7 on the instrument panel lights up to indicate that the cruise con- trol function is in operation.When the function is activated, the message ‘Cruise control’ appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes.
