Rear wheel steering
On equipped vehicles, this system,
when the vehicle is being driven, steers
the rear wheels according to driving
conditions: at low speed this system
offers manoeuvrability, at higher speeds
it optimises stability.
When driving at low speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the opposite direction to
the front wheels (figure A) to increase
the vehicle’s manoeuvrability. This is
used when driving in towns, on winding
roads, during parking manoeuvres, etc. When driving at higher speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the same direction as
the front wheels (figure B
) to optimise
the vehicle’s stability. This is useful
when changing lanes or when corner-
ing etc.
Note: The system configuration (agil-
ity, etc.) depends on the mode selected
in the “Multi-Sense” menu (please refer
to the information on “Multi-Sense” in
Section 2). Operating faults
– If the
© warning light, together
with the message “Check power
steering”, is displayed on the instru-
ment panel: please contact an au-
thorised dealer.
– If the warning light
®, together
with the message “Power steering
fault”, is displayed on the instrument
panel, this indicates a fault in the
system.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (12/12)
AB
® requires you to stop
as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Contact an approved
Dealer.
An impact to the underside of the
vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furniture) may
result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.:
deformation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (2/3)
Operation
This function will indicate:
– when the vehicle speed is between approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) and
140 km/h (87 mph);
– when another vehicle is in the blind spot area and travelling in the same
direction as your vehicle.
If another vehicle is being overtaken,
the indicator 4 will be activated only if
that vehicle remains in the blind spot for
more than one second.
Indicator 4
An indicator light 4 is situated on both
door mirrors 5.
Note: Clean the door mirrors 5 regu-
larly, so that the indicator lights 4 can
be seen properly.
Display B
The function is activated and has not
detected any vehicles.
Display C
Initial warning: the indicator light 4
shows that a vehicle has been detected
in the blind spot.
Display D
When the direction indicator is activa-
ted, the indicator light 4 flashes when a
vehicle is detected in the blind spot on
the side towards which you are about to
steer. If you cancel the direction indica-
tor, the function will return to the initial
warning (display C).

Note: The system’s detection range
operates according to a standard
lane width. If you are driving in
narrow traffic lanes, it may detect
vehicles in other lanes.

Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Consult
an authorised dealer.
Note: When the engine is started, the
indicator light 4 (display B) flashes
three times. It is normal.
– The system’s detection
range operates according
to a standard lane width. If
you are driving in wide traf-
fic lanes, the system might not
be able to detect a vehicle in the
blind spot.
– The system might be disrupted momentarily if it is exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves
(as beneath high-tension power
lines) or to very poor weather
conditions (heavy rain, snow,
etc.). Remain aware of driving
conditions.
There is a risk of accidents.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (3/3)
Because sensors have
been installed in the bum-
pers, any work (repairs, re-
placements, touching up of
paintwork) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.

This function is an addi-
tional aid which indicates
other vehicles in the blind
spot area.
It can never in any case be a subs-
titute for care nor for the driver’s
responsibility while in charge of his
vehicle.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driving:
make sure while manoeuvring that
there are no moving or movable ob-
jects (such as a child, an animal, a
pushchair or a bicycle) or small or
narrow obstacles (such as a boulder
or a post) in the blind spot area.

The speed limiter function is suspended
when you press switch 4 (O). In this
case, the speed limit remains stored
and the message “Memorised” accom-
panied by this speed appears on the
instrument panel.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is deactiva-
ted if you press switch 1: in this case a
speed is no longer stored. The orange
instrument panel warning light
 goes
out, confirming that the function is stop-
ped.
When the speed limiter is put on
standby, pressing side a (+) on
switch 2 reactivates the function wi-
thout taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the
vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Please note that you are
strongly advised to keep
your feet close to the pedals
in order to react in an emer-
gency.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above approx.
20 mph or 30 km/h), press switch 2
side a (+): the function is activated and
the current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes
and cruise control is confirmed by the
appearance of the message “Check
cruise control” and the warning light
.
If you try to activate the function below
20 mph (30 km/h), the message “Invalid
speed” will be displayed and the func-
tion will remain inactive.
Switching on
Press switch 1 on side .

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)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 green
 warning light and message on the
instrument panel goes 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
3 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled,
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed by the illumination of the cruis-
ing speed in green, along with the mes-
sage “Check cruise control”.
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
side a (+) 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 4 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or the shift into neutral if the vehicle has an au-
tomatic gearbox.
In these three cases, the cruising
speed remains stored and the mes-
sage “Memorised” accompanied by this
speed appears on the instrument panel.
Standby is confirmed by the display of
the cruising speed in grey and the mes-
sage “Memorised”.
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.

Choice of manoeuvre
The system can perform four types of
manoeuvres:
– parallel parking;
– perpendicular parking;
– angle parking;
– moving out of a parallel parking space.
From the multifunction screen, select
the manoeuvre to be performed.
Note: When starting the vehicle, or
after successfully completed parallel
parking using the system, the default
manoeuvre proposed by the system is
assistance in exiting a parallel parking
space. In other cases, the default ma-
noeuvre can be set from the multifunc-
tion screen.
ASSISTED PARKING (2/4)
Operation
Parking
As long as the vehicle speed is less
than 20 mph (30 km/h), the system
looks for available parking spaces on
both sides of the vehicle.
Once a space has been found, it is dis-
played on the multifunction screen, indi-
cated by a small letter “P”. Drive slowly,
with the indicators activated on the side
of the space, until the message “Stop”
is displayed, alongside a beep.
The space is then indicated on the mul-
tifunction screen by a capital “P”.
– Stop the vehicle;
– select reverse gear.
Warning light
lights up on the in-
strument panel, along with a beep.
– release the steering wheel;
– follow the system instructions pro- vided on the multifunction screen. Your speed should not exceed around
4 mph (7 km/h).
Once the warning light
on the
instrument panel goes off and a beep
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.
