Driving
The mode cannot be changed if the vehicle is in motion.
With a manual gearbox, depress and hold
the clutch pedal to change the mode.
There is a risk of damaging the
transfer box!
While the indicator lamp for the selected
mode is flashing on the instrument panel:
– Do not accelerate.
– Do not release the clutch pedal with a
manual gearbox.
– Do not engage a gear with an automatic
gearbox.
Recommendations
On dry, tarmac or high-speed roads,
mainly use the 2H mode.
In 4L mode, avoid driving at a speed above
25 mph (40 km/h) and stay in a straight line.
Driving in 4H or 4L mode:
– on dry or tarmac road can cause oil
leakage, and seizure or malfunctions of the
transmission - risk of accident or serious
damage!
– on hard roads increases tyre wear and fuel
consumption.
Do not turn the selector suddenly from the 2L
position to 4H or 4L - risk of loss of control of
the vehicle!
Never change from 2H to 4H mode when the
wheels are spinning or skidding.
Mode suitable for normal driving on dry roads
with hard surface; provides economical, quiet
driving and reduces tyre wear.
4H mode: 4-wheel drive at high speed
Mode to be used only for driving on tracks where
the wheels may slip (off-road or on icy, snowy
roads, for example); provides stronger grip than
the 2-wheel drive transmission
mode (2H mode).
4L mode: 4-wheel drive at low speed
Mode to be used for maximum power and
traction; allows you to climb or descend steep
off-road slopes and benefits from maximum
traction (in sand, mud or in a thick layer of snow,
for example).

Hill start assist
System which briefly keeps the vehicle stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
–

The vehicle is completely stationary
, with your
foot on the brake pedal.
–

Certain slope conditions are met.
–


The driver
’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually. Then check that the parking
brake indicator lamp is on fixed on the
instrument panel.
The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.
Operation

Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered compulsory. The road layout, traffic
density and safety remain decisive factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the guidance issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The system is only active on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
The information appears on the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
inputs (power, acceleration, braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear;
–


engaging reverse gear
.
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures
of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is
moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each
tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–

worsens road-holding.
–


lengthens braking distances.
–


causes premature wear of the tyres.
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10
km) at
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.

Driving
6To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
–

pedestrians crossing the road.
–


In heavy traffic.
–


On winding or steep roads.
–


On slippery or flooded roads.
–


In poor weather conditions.
–


Driving on a speed circuit.
–


Driving on a rolling road.
–


When using snow chains, non-slip covers
or studded tyres.
Cruise control
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to
Cruise control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically keeps the vehicle’s speed at the cruise value
programmed by the driver (speed setting),
without using the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40

km/h).
With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must
be engaged.
