CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 3
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is stopped
if you press switch 1 or 2: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The green
warning light
 on the instrument
panel A goes out, confirming that the
function is stopped.
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.
Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road condi-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,
weather conditions, etc.).
Press switch 6 (R) if the vehicle speed
is above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When recalling the stored speed, the
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed, depending on the vehicle:
– by the appearance of the
 warn-
ing light;
– or by the message area lighting up in green.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/4)
Operating principleUltrasonic detectors, installed in the
front or rear bumper depending on the
vehicle, measure the distance between
the vehicle and an obstacle whilst re-
versing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
Note: the display 1 shows the vehicle
surroundings in conjunction with the
beeps.
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no moving obstacles (such as a
child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc.)
or small, narrow objects such as
stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
Automatic deactivation of the rear
parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when reverse gear is disengaged;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

Rear parking distance controlOperation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 1 comes on.

2.39
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/4)
Front parking distance
control
(depending on vehicle)
Operation
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
Most objects located less than around
1 metre away from the front of the ve-
hicle are detected and a beep sounds.
Depending on the vehicle, the display 1
lights up.
Automatic deactivation of the front
parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the vehicle speed is above ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes. If there are obstacles located close to
both the front and rear of the vehicle,
only the closest of the two will be ac-
knowledged and the corresponding
front or rear beep sound will be emit-
ted. If obstacles are detected both at
the front and rear of the vehicle at the
same time, and they are both less than
30 centimetres away from the vehicle,
the corresponding front and rear beeps
will sound alternately.1
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.
Special feature
Make sure that the camera is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
Operation
When reversing, the camera 1 on the
boot lid transmits a view of the sur-
roundings to the rear of the vehicle
to the multimedia display 2 accompa-
nied by two clearance gauges 3 and 4
(mobile and fixed).
This system is initially used with the aid
of several gauges (mobile for trajectory
and fixed for distance). When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately. 3 moving guide line:
This is shown in blue on screen
2. It in-
dicates the vehicle trajectory according
to the position of the steering wheel.
Fixed gauge 4
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers A, B and C , indica-
ting the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle.

REVERSING CAMERA (2/2)
This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circ\
ums-
tances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents during dri-
ving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child\
,
animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or\
posts in
your path when manoeuvring.
The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation
projected onto flat ground; this in-
formation must not be taken into
account when superimposed on a
vertical object or an object on the
ground.
Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in
sunshine etc.), the camera vision
may be adversely affected.
If the boot is open or poorly closed,
the message “Boot open” appears
and the camera display disappears.
You can also adjust the camera image
settings (brightness, contrast, etc.)

Operation
With the gear lever 1 in position P,
switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must
depress the brake pedal before pres-
sing unlocking button 2.
With the foot on the brake pedal (war-
ning light
c on the display 3 goes
out), move the lever out of position P.

Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic condi-
tions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

2.45
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/3)
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: stri-
king a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an appro-
ved Dealer.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears, push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, or electronic stability
program (ESP) operational etc.): the
automatic system may change gear au-
tomatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect ma-
noeuvres, a gear change may be re-
fused by the automatic system: in this
case the gear display flashes for a few
seconds as a warning.
Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in automa-
tic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and enga-
ging D or R.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
