Ambient temperature
In certain situations, the ambient temperature may only be displayed after a delay or not at all,

where there is too much variation in temperature (
entering or leaving a garage, a tunnel...),
- during very short journeys (less than about 2
minutes).
Lighting dimmer
When driving at night, this function allows certain displays in the instrument panel to be

Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
a
nd contribute towards better control in
c
orners, in particular on poor or slippery road
su
rfaces.
The
ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
em
ergency
b
raking.
The
electronic brake force distribution system
m
anages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more
q
uickly and therefore reduce the stopping
di
stance.
It
is triggered according to the speed at which
t
he brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
r
eduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
i
ncrease in the effectiveness of the braking.
Traction control (TRC)
This system optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
w
heels and on the engine. It also improves
t
he directional stability of the vehicle on
a
cceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the
d
river, this system monitors each wheel and
a
utomatically acts on the brake of one or more
w
heels and on the engine to return the vehicle
t
o the required path, within the limits of the laws
o
f physics.

Active City Brake
Active City B rake i s a d riving a ssistance s ystem t
hat aims to avoid a frontal collision or reduce
t
he speed of an impact if the driver does not
r
eact or reacts too late (brake application too
l
ate). This
system is designed to improve
d
riving safety.
It
remains the driver's responsibility to
c
ontinuously monitor the state of the
t
raffic and to assess the distances and
r
elative speeds of other vehicles.
Active
City Brake can in no
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
Never
look at the laser sensor through
a
n optical instrument (magnifying glass,
m
icroscope...) at a distance of less than
1
0 centimetres: risk of eye injury.Automatic
braking occurs later than if
d
one by the driver, so as to intervene
o
nly when there is a high risk of
c
ollision.Principle
Using a laser sensor and a camera located at the top of the windscreen, this system detects
a
vehicle running in the same direction or
s
tationary ahead of your vehicle.
When
necessary, the vehicle's braking system
i
s operated automatically to reduce the speed
o
f impact or to help avoid a collision with the
v
ehicle
a
head.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following
c onditions are met:
●
t
he engine is running,
●
t
he vehicle is in a for ward gear,
●
t
o trigger the pre-collision alert :
-
t
he speed is between 9 and 87 mph
(
15 and 140 km/h),
-
t
he difference in speed between your
v
ehicle and the one ahead is more than
a
bout 9 mph (15 km/h),
●
f
or braking assistance :
-
t
he speed is between about 18 and
5
0 mph (30 and 80 km/h),
-
t
he difference in speed between your
v

a
bout 18 mph (30 km/h),
●
f
or automatic pre-collision braking:
-

-

a

●

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your co unt r y.
Ensure
that the weight of the towing
v
ehicle is higher than that of the towed
v
ehicle.
The
driver must remain at the wheel of
t
he towed vehicle and must have a valid
d
riving
l
icence.
When
towing a vehicle with all four
w
heels on the ground, always use an
a
pproved towing arm; rope and straps
ar
e
p
rohibited.
The
towing vehicle must move off gently.
When
towing a vehicle with the engine
o
ff, there is no longer any power
a
ssistance for braking or steering.
In
the following cases, you must always
c
all on a professional recovery service:
-
v
ehicle broken down on a motor way
o
r fast road,
-
f
our-wheel drive vehicle,
-
w
hen it is not possible to put the
g
earbox into neutral, unlock the
s
teering, or release the parking brake,
-
t
owing with only two wheels on the
g
round,
-
w
here there is no approved towing
ar
m
a
vailable...
Your
vehicle
can
only
be
towed
from
t
he front
.
F
I
nstall
the
towing
arm.
F
W
ith
a
manual
gearbox:
put
the
gear
lever
i
nto
neutral.
F
W
ith
an
ETG
gearbox:
place
the
selector
at
p
osition N . Never use the radiator crossmember.
When
being
towed,
the
speed
limiter
s
hould
be
dectivated,
as
well
as
the
"
Active
City
Brake"
system
(if
fitted
to

our
vehicle).
Your
vehicle
is
not
designed
to
tow
a
trailer
or
u
se
a

Failure
to
follow
this
advice
may
result
in
