Safety
An indicator lamp associated with each mode 
comes on, accompanied by the display of a 
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes 
 
 
 
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of  wheel spin, based on the different levels 
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the 
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the  conditions of grip encountered for each of 
the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80
  km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the 
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to 
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the 
most grip is controlled in such a way as to 
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin 
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully 
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50
  km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow 
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of 
getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120
  km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as 
the vehicle may become stuck.
Deactivation
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" 
position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no  longer act on the operation of the engine 
or of the brakes in the event of a change of 
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
from 31 mph (50
  km/h) and whenever the 
ignition is switched on.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to 
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to 
occasionally drive on other less passable 
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving 
such as:
–
 
crossing and driving on terrain which 
could damage the underbody or strip away 
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler
, etc.) due 
to obstacles or stones in particular,
–
 
driving on terrain with steep gradients and 
poor grip,
–
 
crossing a stream.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia 
reel which allows the strap length to adjust 
automatically to the shape of the user. The seat 
belt returns to its storage automatically when it 
is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which 
automatically locks the strap in the event of a 
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls

5Electric child lock
Remote control system to 
prevent opening of the rear 
doors (sliding side door(s), side-
hinged rear doors or tailgate 
(depending on version)) using 
their interior controls.
This control prevents the opening of the rear 
doors using their interior handles and the use of 
the rear electric windows.
Activation/Deactivation 
 
 
 
► With the ignition on, press this button to 
activate/deactivate the child lock.
A
 message is displayed, confirming activation/
deactivation of the child lock.
When the indicator lamp is on, the child lock is 
activated.
In the event of a serious impact, the 
electric child lock is deactivated 
automatically.
Any other status of the indicator lamp  indicates a malfunction of the electric 
child lock.
With the child lock activated, it is still 
possible to open the doors from outside.
This system is independent and in no  circumstances does it take the place of 
the central locking control.
Check the status of the child lock each time 
you switch on the ignition.
Always keep the electronic key with you when 
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
In the event of a serious impact, the electric 
child lock is switched off automatically to 
permit the exit of the rear passengers.
Child lock on rear 
windows
This mechanical system 
prevents opening of the left-
hand and/or right-hand rear side 
windows.

key so it returns to position 2.
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some 
climatic conditions, the following 
recommendations should be followed:
–
 
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine 
at idle to warm up but move off straight away 
and drive at moderate speed.
–
 
In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning 
lamp will stay on for a longer period after 
switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off 
before starting.
–
 
In  very severe wintry 
conditions
 
(temperature below -23   °C), to 
ensure correct operation and durability of your 
vehicle’s mechanical components (engine 
and gearbox),  leave the engine running for 
4 minutes before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in an 
enclosed area without adequate ventilation: 
internal combustion engines emit toxic 
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. 
Danger of poisoning and death!
If the engine does not start straight away, 
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the 
starter motor again. If the engine does not 
start after several attempts, do not keep 
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor 
and the engine.

recommendations below:
–
 
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine 
to warm up while stationary
, but move off 
straight away and drive at moderate speed.
–
 
In wintry conditions, when the ignition is 
switched on, the duration of lighting of the 
preheating indicator lamp is extended. W
ait 
until it goes off before starting the engine.
–
 
In  very severe wintry 
conditions
 
(temperature below -23°C), 
to ensure correct operation and preserve 
the lifespan of the vehicle's mechanical 
components, engine and gearbox,  leave the 
engine running for 4 minutes  before moving 
off.
Never leave the engine running in an 
enclosed area without adequate ventilation:

functions, using the control, allow the parking 
brake to be applied and released.
►
 
Follow this procedure again to reactivate 
automatic operation (confirmed by the indicator 
lamp on the instrument panel going out).
Emergency braking
If depressing the brake pedal fails to provide 
effective braking or in exceptional circumstances 
(e.g.
  driver unwell, assisted driving), the vehicle 
can be braked by sustained pulling on the 
electric parking brake control. Braking continues 
for as long as the control is kept pulled, and 
ceases when the control is released.
The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle 
during emergency braking.
If emergency braking malfunctions, the message 
"Parking brake fault" will be displayed on the 
instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems 
malfunction, indicated by lighting 
one or both warning lamps on the instrument 
panel, the vehicle’s stability is no longer ensured.
►
 
In this case, ensure the vehicle's stability by 
successive and repeated "pull-release" actions 
on the electric parking brake control until the 
vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Hill start assist
This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary 
(for approximately 2   seconds) when making a hill 
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake 
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The system is only active when:
–
 
The vehicle is completely stationary
 , with your 
foot on the brake pedal.

If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual 
gearbox.
–
 
If mode 
 D or M is selected on an automatic 
gearbox.
–
 
If mode 
 D or B is selected on the drive 
selector.
 
 
Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary 
and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held 
for a short time when the driver releases the 
brake pedal.
Malfunction

Driving
– depress the clutch pedal.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel 
consumption by recommending the most suitable 
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and 
the vehicle's equipment, the system may 
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are 
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the 
configuration of the road, the traffic density and 
safety remain determining factors when choosing 
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow 
the system’s advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions with a 
manual gearbox, the system may suggest 
shifting into neutral ( N is displayed on the 
instrument panel) so that the engine can go into 
standby (STOP mode of
  Stop & Start), in certain 
driving conditions.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is 
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the  instrument panel, in the form of an "up" or 
"down" arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change  instructions according to the driving 
conditions (e.g.
  slope, load) and driving style 
(e.g.
  power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–
 
engaging first gear
 .
–
 
engaging reverse gear
 .
Automatic gearbox
Automatic 6 or 8-speed gearbox, with electronic management of gear changes. It also offers a 
manual mode with sequential gear changes 
via control paddles located behind the steering 
wheel.
Gear selector
To turn the gear selector in complete safety, it is recommended that you keep 
your foot on the brake pedal.
