A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at
any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.-
c heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-

d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),
-

d

engine.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position


N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
If you are obliged to drive through
water:
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact

Emergency braking
The emergency braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.If a failure of the DSC system is signalled
by the illumination of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull-
release" actions on the control lever A
.
In the event of a failure of the main
service brake or in an exceptional
situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under
instruction, etc) a continuous pull
on the control lever A will stop the
vehicle.
The DSC system provides stability when
braking during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
Special situations
To ensure correct operation, and so
your safety, the number of successive
applications and releases of the parking
brake is limited to eight cycles.
If used excessively, you are alerted by
the message "parking brake faulty" and
a flashing warning lamp. In some circumstances (engine start...),
the parking brake may adjust the level
of application itself. This is normal
operation.
To move your vehicle a few centimetres
without starting the engine, with the
ignition on, press the brake pedal and
release the parking brake by pulling
then releasing the control lever A .
Complete release of the parking brake
is indicated by the warning lamps in the
control lever A and in the instrument
panel going off and by the display of the
message "Parking brake off ".
