Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main ser vice
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 electronic stability programme (ESP)
provides stability during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the lighting 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
.
Emergency parking brake release
)
if your vehicle has one, take out the vehicle
chock B
, located under the boot floor.
)
On a slope, immobilise the vehicle by
placing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels, opposing the slope.
On level ground, immobilise the vehicle by
placing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels. In the event of fault with the electric parking
brake or a battery failure, an emergency
mechanical control can be used to manually
release
the parking brake.
)
Immobilise the vehicle (or chock it if the
brake pedal has not been released), with
the engine running, by engaging first gear
(manual gearbox, position P
(automatic
gearbox) or M
or R

Driving
Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system inter venes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
*
According to engine.
- You are in third gear.
Example:
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument
panel screen in the form of an arrow
accompanied by the suggested gear.
In the case of driving which makes
par ticular demands on the per formance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
over taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.
