Driving
Once a cruising speed is stored and
the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Important: you are never-
theless advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react if neces-
sary.
Activating cruise control
At 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 6 lit
green, as well as warning light 7.
Switching on
Press switch 1 side .
Indicator light 6 comes on, lit green, and
the message “CRUISE CONTROL” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (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.

2.33
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The two in-
strument panel warning lights
 and
 go out to confirm that the function is
deactivated.
Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road con-
ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch
4 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled, acti-
vation of the cruise control is confirmed
by the illumination of the
 warning
light.
NB: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
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 shift into neutral if the vehicle has an auto-
matic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed
remains stored and the message
“MEMORISED” appears on the instru-
ment panel.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light
 goes out.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the
rear bumper (depending on the vehi-
cle), measure the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst revers-
ing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
NB: make sure that the ultrasonic sen-
sors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)Operation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and, depending on the vehicle, dis-
play 1 lights up.
1
NB: depending on the vehicle, screen 1
shows the vehicle surroundings along-
side the beeps.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: alw\
ays
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pra\
m or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your p\
ath when
manoeuvring.

2.35
Deactivating the system
Press switch 2 to deactivate the system.
The indicator light built into the switch
lights up to remind you that the system
is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.
Depending on the vehicle, you can de-
activate the parking distance control
from the touch-screen. Please see the
equipment instructions for further infor-
mation.

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.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/2)
Adjusting the parking
distance control volume
Depending on the vehicle, certain set-
tings can be adjusted from the touch-
screen 1. Please see the equipment in-
structions for further information.

Operating faults
Depending on the vehicle, when the
system detects an operating fault, the
message “check parking distance con-
trol” appears on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the warning light
© and a beep lasting approxi-
mately 5 seconds. Please contact an
authorised dealer.

2.36
REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
OperationMoving into reverse gear, the 1 camera
(located on the tailgate on five-seater
versions or near the number plate lights
on estate versions) provides a view of
the area behind the vehicle on the 2
touchscreen. Depending on the ve-
hicle, this may be accompanied by a
moving guide line or a static guide line.
1
Note: make sure that the reversing
camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).

1
Note: depending on the vehicle, cer-
tain settings can be adjusted from the 2
touchscreen. Refer to the handbook for
the equipment.
This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circ\
um-
stances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents during driv-
ing: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child,\

animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or\
posts in
your path when manoeuvring.

2.37
REVERSING CAMERA (2/2)
The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation
projected onto flat ground; this in-
formation must not be taken into
account when superimposed on a
vertical object or an object on the
ground.
Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in
sunshine etc.), the camera vision
may be adversely affected.
If the boot is open or poorly closed,
the message “BOOT OPEN” ap-
pears and, depending on the vehi-
cle, the camera display disappears.

Dynamic gauge 3 (depending on the
vehicle)
This is shown in blue on screen 2. It in-
dicates the vehicle trajectory according
to the position of the steering wheel.
Static guide line 4:
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers A, B and C , indicat-
ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle. This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.
This system is initially used with the aid
of several gauges (mobile for trajectory
and fixed for distance). When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately.

2.38
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 your foot on the brake pedal
(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.

Gear change paddles 5
The paddles 5 enable you to change
gear while the gear lever is in ‘manual
mode’ position or, if driving, in ‘auto-
matic mode’ position.
P, N and R are not accessible using the
paddles.
The display 4 notifies the driver about
the current mode and gear.

2.39
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Driving in manual modeWith the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left into the M po-
sition. Shifting the lever or the paddles
repeatedly allows you to change gears
manually:
– to move down through the gears, push the lever forwards or press the
left-hand paddle;
– to move up through the gears, push the lever backwards or press the
right-hand paddle.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special casesIn certain driving conditions (for exam-
ple, engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Programme: the au-
tomatic system may change gear auto-
matically. Likewise, to prevent incorrect
manoeuvres, a gear change may be re-
fused 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.
Driving in automatic mode
Put lever 1 into 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.
When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.

2.40
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 press-
ing the brake pedal, the lever can be re-
leased manually. To do this, release the
base of the lever, then use a tool (rigid
rod) in the slot 6 and simultaneously
press button 7 to unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.Operating faults
– when driving , if the “CHECK AUTO
GEARBOX ” message appears on
the instrument panel, it indicates a
fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible;
– when driving, if the message
“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.
