HILL START ASSIST
S y s t e m w h i c h k e e p s y o u r v e h i c l e
immobilised temporarily (approxi-
mately 2 seconds) when starting on
a gradient, the time it takes to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely station-ary, with your foot on the brake
pedal,
- in certain conditions on a gradi- ent,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot
be deactivated. Operation
On an ascending
gradient
, with
the vehicle stationary, the vehicle
is held for a brief moment when
you release the brake pedal:
- p r o v i d e d y o u a r e i n fi r s t g e a r o r neutral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in D or M on an
automatic gearbox.
On a descending
gradient
, with
the vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you re-
lease the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start
assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle
with the engine running, manually
apply the parking brake and en-
sure that the parking brake warning
lamp (on the instrument panel) and
the warning lamp P (on the control
lever A ) are permanently on.

sumption by advising the driver to
c h a n g e u p o n v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a
manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when
driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation
and your vehicle's equipment, the
system may advise you to skip one
or more gears. You can follow this
instruction without engaging the in-
termediate gears.
The gear engagement recommen-
dations must not be considered
c o m p u l s o r y . I n f a c t , t h e c o n fi g u -
ration of the road, the amount of
t r a f fi c a n d s a f e t y r e m a i n d e t e r m i n -
ing factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or
not to follow the advice given by the
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
* According to engine. Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if ap-
propriate. The information appears in the in-
strument panel screen in the form of
an arrow accompanied by the sug-
gested gear.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
( fi r m p r e s s u r e o n t h e a c c e l e r a t o r
pedal, for example, when overta-
king...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- e n g a g i n g fi r s t g e a r ,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.

Mode selection Displays on the instrument panel
automatic mode: gear lever in
position D ,
sequential mode: gear lever in
position M ,
SPORT mode: gear lever in po-
sition D and button A pressed,
SNOW mode: gear lever in posi-
tion D and button B pressed. The position of the gear lever and
the driving mode are displayed on
the instrument panel dial
C .
A position grille associated with the
gear lever allows you to view the se-
lected position.
For safety:
- position P can be disen-
gaged only if you press the
brake pedal,
- when a door is opened, an au- dible signal is heard if the gear
lever is not in position P ,
- always make sure that the gear lever is in position P before you
leave your vehicle.
If the gearbox is in position P but
the position of the gear lever is dif-
ferent, reposition the gear lever on
P so that you can start the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation, enhanced by
the sport and snow programmes, or
manual gear changing.
Four driving modes are provided:
- automatic operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- the SPORT programme for a
more dynamic driving style,
- the SNOW programme to im-
prove driving when the grip is
poor,
- manual operation for sequen-
tial changing of the gears by the
driver.

Never select positions P or R
if the vehicle is not stationary.
If, while the vehicle is moving, po-
sition N is engaged inadvertently,
allow the engine to idle before en-
gaging position D or M .
Moving off
To start the engine, the gear le-
ver must be in position P or N .
Operate the starter.
When the engine is running,
place the gear lever on R , D or
M as required.
Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.
Release the brake pedal and ac-
celerate.
To avoid a possible difference
between the position of the gear
lever and the actual position of
the gearbox, always exit from
position P with the ignition on
and brake pedal applied.
Otherwise, when the ignition is on or
the engine is running:
reposition the gear lever in posi-
tion P ,
put your foot on the brake pedal
and then select the gear you
want. Park
This position of the gear le-
ver is used to prevent the
vehicle from moving when
you are stationary.
To select position P , move the
gear lever back to the highest
position (towards R ), then push
it forwards and then to the left.
To exit position P , move the gear
lever to the right and then to the
position you want.
Only engage this position when
the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. In this position, the front
wheels are locked. Make sure
that the gear lever is correctly
positioned. Reverse gear
Only engage this position
when the vehicle is station-
ary. To prevent snatching,
do not accelerate too soon
after selection.
Neutral Never select position N if
the vehicle is moving.
