Controls1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4 Activation with recall of saved cruis- ing speed (R).
5 Switch the function to standby (with cruising speed saved) (O).
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. The func-
tion does not take the place
of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-
pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-
ing, gravel) and during bad weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

Activating cruise controlAt a steady speed (above 18 mph
(30 km/h approximately)) press switch 2
or (+): the function is activated and the
current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes
and the cruise control is confirmed by
the appearance of warning light 7 lit
green, as well as warning light 6.
DrivingOnce a cruising speed is stored and
the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Please note that you must
keep your feet close to the
pedals in order to react in
an emergency.
Switching on
Press switch 1 side .
Indicator light 6 comes on, lit green, and

CRUISE CONTROL (3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa-
tion display to inform you of this situ-
ation.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– use the switch 5 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or the shift
into neutral if the vehicle has an au-
tomatic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed
remains stored and, depending on the
vehicle:
– the message “Memorised” and stored speed are displayed on the
instrument panel.
– the stored speed is displayed be- tween
ment panel.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light
goes out.

ASSISTED PARKING (4/4)
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due\
care
and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
Make sure that the manoeuvre complies with the applicable traffic regulations at your location.
– The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: al\
ways ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pushchair, bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.
– The system cannot detect objects located in the sensor blind spots.
– When manoeuvring, the steering wheel may turn quickly: do not put your h\
ands inside, and make sure that nothing is caught inside.
– Always visually check that the parking space proposed by the system is s\
till available and contains no obstacles.
– The system should only be used when towing a trailer or when there is a \
towing or load carrying system on the vehicle.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/3)
Operation
With the selection lever 1 in position P,
switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
the unlocking button 2.
With the foot on the brake pedal (the
warning light 3 on the display goes out),
move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-
leased.

Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In most road conditions you will en-
counter, you will not need to touch your
lever again: the gears will change au-
tomatically at the right time and at the
most suitable engine speed because
the automatic system takes into ac-
count the vehicle load and road contour
and adjusts itself to the particular driv-
ing style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

2.49
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (result-
ing in, for example, engine protection,
operation of the Electronic Stability
Control programme: ESC etc.) the au-
tomated system may change the gear
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode. This will prevent the
automatic gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
Driving in manual mode
With the selection lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– to move down through the gears, push the lever forwards;
– to move up through the gears, push the lever backwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.

When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. For this, unclip
the base of the lever then insert a tool
(with a hard rod to it) into the slot 5 to
unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.
Operating faults
– when driving , if the message
“CHECK AUTO GEARBOX” appears
on the instrument panel, it indicates
a failure.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving, if the message
“AUTO GEARBOX OVERHEATING”
appears on the instrument panel,
stop as soon as possible to let the
gearbox cool down and wait for the
message to disappear;
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.

For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter-nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.Switching the air
recirculation on
Press button 6: the integrated indicator
light comes on. In these conditions, air
is taken from the passenger compart-
ment and is recycled, with no air being
taken from outside the vehicle.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/3)
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on t\
he side
windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air\
in
the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode
(external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer \
required, by
pressing the button 6 again.

window demisting vents.
iThe air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting vents, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard air vents, the
front footwells and, depending on the
vehicle, the second row footwells.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
