Driving
Engagement of reverse gear isaccompanied by an audible signal.
If you leave the vehicle, place the gear
selector in position Nand then you must stop the hybrid system by switching off the ignition (Ready
lamp off).
If the gear selector is not in position Non starting, Nflashes in the instrumentpanel, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message in the instrument panel screen. Foot on brakeflashes on the instrument panel, accompanied by anaudible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, if the brakepedal is not pressed on starting.
For optimum acceleration, for example
when overtaking another vehicle, pressthe accelerator pedal firmly past the point of resistance.

The gearbox is then operating in auto-active
mode, without any action on the par t of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitablegear, depending on the:
- st
yle of driving,
- profile of the road.
When the engine is idling with thebrakes off, if position R, Aor M
is selected, the vehicle will move off
on its own without any action on theaccelerator.

Safety
Electronic Stability Programme incorporatingthe following systems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance,
- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,
- the d
ynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability programme (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and provides improved control in corners, in
par ticular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking.
The 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 stoppingdistance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by areduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the drivingwheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle onacceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the pathfollowed by the vehicle and that required bythe driver, the DSC 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
o
f physics.
