Starting using
the electronic key
With the first press on the " S TA R T/
STOP " button, this indicator lamp
flashes slowly in the instrument panel. Depending on the ambient temperature,
each attempt at starting can take up to
around 30 seconds. During this period,
do not press the "
START/STOP" button
again, or release the clutch pedal or
brake pedal (depending on the type of
gearbox).
After this period, if the engine has not
started, press the " START/STOP"
button again for another attempt at
starting. If one of the starting conditions is
not met, the "Keyless
e
n
try and
Starting" system indicator lamp flashes
in the instrument panel. In some
circumstances, it is necessary to
turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the " START/STOP " button to
assist unlocking of the steering.
For vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox:

vehicle. However, if you are driving at less than
20 mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and
broken lines.
to i
mprove your safety, the camera analyses the image and then triggers a warning if the vehicle wanders over a lane marking (speed higher than
30
mph (50 km/h)).
th

is system is particularly suitable for motorways and dual carriageways.
th

e lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe driving
regulations and take a break every
two
hours.
Activation
F Press this button, located on the steering wheel.
Detection
You are alerted by an audible signal and the
display of a warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
No alert is given if the direction
indicators are on and for around
20
seconds after they stop flashing.

Under-inflation detection
the system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
th

e system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
th
e under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
th
is system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
Hazard warning lamps
Visual warning by means of the direction
indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle
breakdown, towing or accident.

P

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare

th

is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
th

e under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.
th

e inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
ty

re pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

electronic stability control (eS C)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
these systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards better control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
th

e ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
th

e electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
t
h
is is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Traction control (TRC)
this system optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Operation
Illimination of this warning lamp,

the ABS system, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
