– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10%
per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower air
density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle
and the nose weight (at the point where it joins
your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted
without exceeding it.
Tyres
►  Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle
and of the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
►  Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine towing device is used, the
rear parking sensors will be deactivated
automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►  Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine immobiliser
system, with a code that must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a dealer.
Starting/Switching off the
engine
The electronic key must be present in the
passenger compartment.
For versions equipped with Proximity Keyless
Entry and Start, the electronic key is also
detected in the boot.
If it is not detected, a message is displayed.
Move the electronic key so that the engine can
be started or switched off.
If there is still a problem, refer to the "Key not
detected - Back-up starting or Back-up switch-
off" section.

Driving06
Restarting the engine (START mode)
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the
driver indicates the intention of moving off again.
►  With a manual gearbox: with the clutch pedal
fully depressed.
►  With an automatic gearbox:
•

With the select
or in position D or M: with the
brake pedal released.
•

With the select
or in position N and the brake
pedal released: with the selector at D or M.
•

With the select
or in position P and the brake
pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N, D
or M.
•

R
everse gear engaged.
Special cases
The engine restarts automatically if all the
operating conditions are met again and in the
following cases.
–
With a manual gearbo
x: vehicle speed exceeds
2.5 mph (4 km/h),
–

With an aut
omatic gearbox, in mode N, vehicle
speed exceeds 0.6 mph (1 km/h).
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments, then
remains on, accompanied by an onscreen
message.
Have the vehicle checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
►  Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the "START/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which must
be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are
adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects
a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more
tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) as well as before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed,
long journey):
–

w
orsens road-holding.
–

lengthens braking dist
ances.
–

c
auses premature wear of the tyres.
–

increase
s fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown
on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►  Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►  Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Operating limits



No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
– In the pre sence of non-moving objects (parked
vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs, etc.).
–

O
ncoming traffic.
–

D
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner.
–

When o
vertaking or being overtaken by a very
long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) that is detected
in the rear blind spot but is also present in the
driver’s front field of vision.
–

When o
vertaking quickly.
–

In v
ery heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.
–

If the Park As
sist or DS PARK PILOT function is
activated.
Malfunction
If the event of malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface or
moving from a dry area to a wet area can
cause false alerts (for example, the presence
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot
angle is interpreted as a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels
or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot
Detection
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Detection.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 and
87 mph (65 and 140 km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for driving
on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Detection, refer to the corresponding sections.
Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.


This system:
– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian or,
depending on version, a cyclist.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a collision
or limit its severity.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).

117
Driving06
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
–

The v
ehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph (60
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
–

The v
ehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a cyclist
is detected.
–

The v
ehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle is
detected.
This warning lamp immediately flashes
(for approximately 10 seconds) when the
function acts on the vehicle’s braking.
With an automatic gearbox or drive selector, in
the event of automatic emergency braking until
the vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep the
brake pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle
from moving off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly while
the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system, you
are alerted by the fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.


Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, as confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out of
reverse gear.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
within the sensors’ detection zone.


Depending on version, in the example shown, only
the obstacles present in the shaded area will be
signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of

Choice of the type of
manoeuvre and search for
space
Depending on whether the vehicle has been
driven or not since the ignition was switched on,
the function proposes the entry to or exit from a
parking space on the touch screen.
►  Select the type and side of the manoeuvre to
activate the parking space search.
Illumination of this lamp confirms
activation.
It is possible to change the type of manoeuvre
at any time, including during the available space
search phase.
►  Drive at a distance of 0.50 to 1.50 m from the
row of parked vehicles, not exceeding 19 mph
(30 km/h), until the system finds an available
space (indicated by OK on the display and an
audible signal).
For "parallel" parking, the space must at
least equal to the length of your vehicle
plus 1 m.
For "bay" parking, the space must at least
equal to the width of your vehicle plus 0.70 m.
Preparing for the manoeuvre
►  Move very slowly until the request to stop
the vehicle and the "STOP" sign are displayed,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Once the vehicle has stopped, an instructions
page is displayed on the screen.
►  To prepare for the manoeuvre, you must fulfil
all of these instructions.
This symbol will be displayed automatically
when the instruction has been applied.
When all instructions have been validated, a
new screen is displayed, indicating that you can
undertake the manoeuvre.
►  To undertake the manoeuvre, press this
button.
►  While holding down the button, gradually
release the brake pedal.
The button must be held down throughout
the manoeuvre.

Reversing camera and the parking sensors are
automatically activated to help you monitor the
close surrounding area of your vehicle throughout
the manoeuvre.
Performing the manoeuvre
As soon as the driver releases the brake pedal,
the system automatically takes control of
choosing the travel direction, forwards or reverse,
acceleration, braking and the steering direction.
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
Manoeuvre in progress.
Manoeuvre interrupted.
Manoeuvre completed or abandoned
(white arrows indicate that the driver must
take back control of their vehicle).
The direction of the manoeuvre is indicated by
these symbols:
Forward gear.
