Electronic fault or diesel
preheating warning light
With the ignition switched on,
this light comes on; it indicates that the
heater plugs are operating.
It goes out after preheating is sufficient
and the engine can be started.
If it remains lit or comes on when you
are driving, it indicates an electrical or
electronic fault. Contact an approved
dealer as soon as possible.
ÆSTOP light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out as soon as
the engine is started. It lights up at the
same time as other warning lights, and
is accompanied by a beep.
It requires you to stop immediately,
for your own safety, as soon as traffic
conditions allow.
Switch off the engine and do not res-
tart it.
Consult an approved dealer.
ÄWarning light for monitoring
exhaust gas

TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off-
road
(vehicles equipped with ESC)
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESC function by
pressing the “ ESC” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel bra-
king remains active. This function ap-
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be
transferred to the wheels with the most
grip. This is particularly useful when
crossing a bridge.
All the ESC functions will be reactivated
when the vehicle speed reaches ap-
proximately 30 mph (50 km/h) (36 mph
(60 km/h) in 4WD Lock mode), when
the engine is restarted or when the
“ESC” button is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating
fault, it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode, and the
‘ and Ò war-
ning lights come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a mode-
rate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re-
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
In this case, we recommend that you
stop as soon as possible to allow the
system to cool down (until the warning
light stops flashing).
Cooling may take up to five minutes.
If the system detects excessive whee-
lspin on the front wheels, it adapts the
engine to run in a way that reduces
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in “
LOCK” mode
(vehicles equipped with ABS)
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this
case, the wheels may lock intermit-
tently to achieve better grip, thus redu-
cing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is limi- ted during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is normal, and does not indicate an
operating fault.

Electronic stability program
ESC with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic Stability Program ESC
(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
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steering (loss of front axle road hold-
ing).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Deactivating the ESC
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 whee-
lspin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The warning light
 on the instru-
ment panel comes on to warn you of
this.
If you deactivate this function, the
traction control system will also be
deactivated.
With the Electronic Stability Program
ESC with understeer control and trac-
tion control providing additional safety,
you are advised not to drive with the
function disabled. Correct this as soon
as possible by pressing the switch 1
again.
Note: The function is automatically
reactivated 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.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)
Hill start assistance
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling forwards or backwards by
automatically applying the brakes when
the driver lifts their foot off the brake
pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmis-
sions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope).
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, the indicator
light
 flashes on the instrument
panel.
Operating faults
When the system detects an opera-
ting fault the warning lights
Ò and
 appear on the instrument panel.
In this case, the Electronic Stability
Program ESC with understeer control
and traction control are deactivated.
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.
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit-
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from rolling forwards or
backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

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.
