Electronic stability program
ESP with understeer control
and traction control ASR
Electronic Stability Program ESP
(depending on the vehicle)
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.). Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control ASR
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Deactivating the function
Deactivating the ASR traction control
function also deactivates the ESP func-
tion (refer to the following page).

Special feature of 4-wheel
drive and 2-wheel drive
vehicles (depending on the
vehicle)
Disabling the ESP function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel
-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The
ù warning light on the instru-
ment panel comes on to warn you of
this.
If you deactivate this function, the ASR
traction control function will also be de-
activated.
As the ’ESP and ASR provide en -
hanced safety, it is not advisable to
drive with the function switched off.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.

Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, warning lights
Ò and ù
light up on the instrument panel. In this
case, the ESP and ASR are deacti -
vated.
Please consult an authorised dealer if
these warning lights remain displayed
on the instrument panel after the igni -
tion is switched off and on again.
Note:
the function is automatically re -
activated when the ignition is switched
on, or when the speed exceeds 30 mph
(50 km/h) in AUTO and 2WD modes,
and approximately 36 mph (60 km/h) in
4WD Lock mode.
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
ù flashes on the instrument panel.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
– If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain -
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when accelerating.Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
Operating faults
If a vehicle with an automatic gear -
box breaks down, please refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P when you are pressing the
brake pedal, the lever can be released
manually. To do this, unclip the base of
the lever, and press recess 7 and the
unlocking button 2 simultaneously.
In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING (3/4)
Switching passenger
compartment isolation mode/
air recirculation mode on
Push control D to the left.
Under these conditions, air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle. Air recirculation is used to:
–
isolate the passenger compartment
from the external atmosphere (eg.:
driving in polluted areas, etc.);
– bring the passenger compartment to
the desired temperature more effec-
tively.
To return to the external air position,
push control D to the right.
Prolonged use of this position
can lead to condensation forming
on the side windows and wind -
screen and problems due to the
use of non-renewed air in the
passenger compartment.
It is therefore advisable to return to
normal operation (external air) by
moving control D to the right once
you are out of the polluted area.

is blown into the passenger compart -
ment. If you want to shut off the flow of
air completely and stop the system, set
control C to 0.
The system is deactivated: the ventila -
tion speed for the passenger compart-
ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),
you can however still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.

strument panel comes on).
This function de-ices/demists the rear
screen and the electric de-icing rear -
view mirrors (depending on the vehi -
cle).
Depending on the vehicle, the function
is stopped:
– automatically after it has been run -
ning for 12 minutes (the indicator
light goes out);
– by pressing button E again (the
warning light goes out).CEF
Before using the rear wiper, check that no object is obstructing the travel of the
blade.
In frosty weather, make sure that the wiper blades are not stuck by ice (to avoid
the risk of the motor overheating).
Keep an eye on the condition of the blades. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to lose efficiency (approximately once a year).
Regularly clean your rear screen.

Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air condition -
ing with no automatic mode, switch
off the system when it is not re -
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the envi-
ronment
Drive with the air vents open and
the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine. Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance.
This may be caused by the pas-
senger compartment filter car -
tridge becoming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in -
spection frequency.
