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.

2.44
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 and depending on
the vehicle, the cruising speed remains
stored and, depending on the vehicle,
the message “MEM”or the
 warn-
ing light appears on the instrument
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.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (1/4)
Selector lever 1
Display 3 on the instrument panel
shows the mode and gear selected.
P: Park
R: Reverse
N: Neutral
D: Automatic mode
M: Manual mode
4: zone displaying gearbox mode or
gear engaged in manual mode.
Operation
With the selection lever 1 in position P,
switch on the ignition.
With your foot on the brake pedal, 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.
To move out of position P the brake
pedal must be depressed before
pressing the unlocking button .2
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

Driving in automatic modePlace the lever into position D.
In the majority of driving conditions, you
will no longer have to use your gear
lever: the gears change automatically,
at the right time, to a suitable engine
speed because “automatic” takes the
vehicle’s load, road profile and driving
style into account.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/4)
Driving in manual modeWhen the selector lever is 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 backwards;
– to move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.
Depending on the vehicle:
– 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.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.: to
protect the engine) the “automated
system” may change the gear automa-
tically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect ma-
noeuvres, 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.
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.

2.47
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/4)
Special circumstances
– Depending on the vehicle, snow position: if you are driving on slip-
pery surfaces (snow, mud, etc.)
press switch 5, the operating indica-
tor light 6 comes on.
Once these special driving con-
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 5
again. The warning light 6 goes
out.

– If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain-
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather , to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few sec-
onds before moving the selector
lever from position P or N and en-
gaging it in D or R. –
Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel-
spin when accelerating.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.

2.49
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driving:
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 manoeu-
vring.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehi-
cle’s rear bumper, measure the dis-
tance between the vehicle and an ob-
stacle when reversing.
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 40 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
There is a beep when reverse gear is
engaged. If the beep sounds for a long
time (3 seconds), this signals an oper-
ating fault.
NB: ensure that the ultrasonic sensors
are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow,
etc.).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
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.

2.51
Note: make sure that the reversing
camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
Operation
When using reverse gear, the camera 1
located near the tailgate sends a view
of the area behind the vehicle to the
multimedia display 2 together with a
static guide line.
This system is used with the aid of a
fixed distance gauge. When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately.
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.

ControlsThe controls will depend on the vehicle
equipment level.
1 Distribution of air.
2 Switching air conditioning on or off.
3 Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.
4 De-icing/demisting of the rear screen and, depending on the vehicle, the
door mirrors and windscreen.
5 Air temperature adjuster.
6 Switching passenger compartment isolation mode/air recirculation mode
on
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 5 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further towards the
red the slide is, the higher the tempera-
ture will be.
Adjusting the ventilation fan
speed.
Turn control 3 from 0 to 4. The further
to the right it is positioned, the more air
is blown into the passenger compart-
ment. If you want to shut off the flow of
air completely and stop the system, set
control 3 to 0.
The system is deactivated: the ventila-
tion speed for the passenger compart-
ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),
you can however still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
Leaving this control in position 0 for
prolonged periods can lead to con-
densation forming on the side win-
dows and windscreen and problems
due to the use of non-renewed air in
the passenger compartment.

Information and advice on use: refer
to information on “Air conditioning: in-
formation and advice on use”.
Depending on the vehicle, in the
event of setting the “Wake up every
2 hours” remote starting function,
the ventilation system must be
stopped before leaving the vehicle.
Please see your vehicle’s multime-
dia instructions.

HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING (2/3)
43
Switching passenger
compartment isolation mode/
air recirculation mode on.
Bring lever 6 to position â.
Under these conditions, air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle. Air recirculation is used to:
– to isolate the passenger compart-
ment from the external atmosphere
(e.g. driving in polluted areas, etc.);
– to bring the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Rapid demisting
Turn controls 1, 3 and 6 to positions
W:
– air from the outside;
– maximum fan speed;
– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.
VHeated rear
windscreen/
Heated windscreen
With the engine running , press
button 4 (the warning light comes on).
Depending on the vehicle, this function
de-ices/demists the rear windscreen,
the electric rear-view mirrors and the
windscreen.
Depending on the vehicle, the function
is stopped:
– automatically after a period of time set by the system (warning light goes
out);
– by pressing button 4 again (the warn-
ing light goes out).
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.
You are therefore advised to return to normal mode (external air) as so\
on as the
air recirculation function is no longer required, by turning control 6 to the right.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air condition-
ing with no automatic mode, switch
off the system when it is not re-
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the envi-
ronment
Drive with the air vents open and
the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine. Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist-
ing or air conditioning per-
formance.
This may be caused by the pas-
senger compartment filter car-
tridge becoming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.Presence of water under the ve-
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection
frequency.
