WARNING LIGHTS (3/5)
åAirbag warning light
This lights up when the engine
is started and goes out after approxi-
mately three seconds. If it does not
come on when the ignition is switched
on or if it remains lit, there is a fault in
the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.
¹Passenger airbag OFF
Please refer to the information
on “Child safety: deactivating/activating
the front passenger airbag” in Section 1.
›Passenger airbag ON
Please refer to the information
on “Child safety: deactivating/activating
the front passenger airbag” in Section 1.
Rear seat belt reminder
(depending
on vehicle)
Warning light
ß comes on, ac-
companied (depending on the vehicle)
by a message indicating the number
of fastened seat belts on the instru-
ment panel for approximately 30 sec-
onds, each time the vehicle is started,
a door is opened or a seat belt is fas-
tened/unfastened. Check that the rear
passengers are wearing seat belts and
that the number of seat belts shown as
fastened corresponds to the number of
rear seat places occupied.
xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after approxi-
mately three seconds. If it does not go
out after the ignition is switched on, or
lights up when driving, there is a fault
with the ABS. The braking system then
operates as it would on a vehicle with-
out the system ABS.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible. The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.
Hill start assistance warning
light
Please refer to the information on the
“Driver correction devices and aids” in
Section 2.
Warning light for electronic
stability program ( ESC ) and
traction control system
Refer to information on “Driver correc-
tion devices and aids” in Section 2.

2.24
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/5)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS);
– emergency brake assist;
– electronic stability program (ESC) with understeer control;
– traction control;
– grip control;
– hill start assistance. Operating faults:
–
© and x lit up on the in-
strument panel alongside mes-
sages “Check ABS”, “Check brak-
ing system” and “Check ESC”: ABS,
ESC and emergency brake assist
are deactivated. Braking is always
enabled;
–
x, D, © and ® lit
up on the instrument panel alongside
the message “Braking system fault”:
this indicates a fault in the braking
system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.

2.25
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
Emergency brake assist
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 switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check brak-
ing system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer. Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.
Electronic stability program
(ESC) with understeer control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.). 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 driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
 flashes on the instrument panel.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).

To remove bad odours from your ve-
hicles, only use the systems designed
for this purpose. Consult an approved
Dealer.

Air flow
Turn control knob 1 (beyond the point
of resistance):
Up: maximum air flow.
Down: closed.
Direction
Move tabs 2 to the desired position.
Rear seats
Move tab 3 to the right or left to direct
the air flow.
Turn control knob 4 :
– downwards to decrease the air flow and direct it downwards;
– upwards to increase the air flow and direct it upwards.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.
