DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (11/12)
Hill start assistance
Depending on the gradient of the in-
cline, this system assists the driver
when starting on a hill. It prevents the
vehicle from rolling backwards by au-
tomatically applying the brakes when
the driver lifts his/her foot off the brake
pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmis-
sions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed)
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then released (the vehicle will move ac-
cording to the slope).
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from rol-
ling backwards in all situa-
tions (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-
cle from rolling backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

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.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (4/7)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
When exceeding this speed, the cruis-
ing speed and the following bars show
red and the cruising speed flashes on
the instrument panel: the distance con-
trol function is no longer activated.
Then, release the accelerator: cruise
and distance control will automatically
reactivate unless the function has been
set to standby.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if:
– you press switch 4 (O);
– you depress the brake pedal;
– you depress the clutch pedal;
– you use the gear lever;
– the vehicle speed is lower than 25 mph (40 km/h) or over 100 mph
(160 km/h);
– certain driver correction devices and aids are triggered (ABS, ESC, etc.)
In the latter two cases, the message
“Adaptive cruise ct disconnected” is
displayed on the instrument panel when
the function is set to standby.
Standby is confirmed by the display of
the cruising speed in grey and the mes-
sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”. 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 around 30 mph (50 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 “Adaptive cruise ctrl”.
When the cruise control function is put
on standby, pressing switch 2 side a
(+) reactivates the cruise control func-
tion without taking into account the
stored speed: it is the speed at which
the vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (4/4)
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain noises (motorcy-
cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may
trigger the beeping sound of the
parking distance control.
Automatic deactivation of the
parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral for manual gearboxes, or in position N
or P for automatic gearboxes.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, a beep sounds for approximately
3 seconds each time reverse gear is se-
lected and is accompanied by the mes-
sage “Check parking sensor” shown on
the instrument panel. Please consult an
authorised dealer.

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
4 moving guide line:
This is shown in blue on the multifunc-
tion screen 2. It indicates the vehicle
trajectory according to the position of
the steering wheel.
Special feature
Make sure that the camera is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
Operation
When you change to reverse gear, the
camera 1 located on the tailgate pro-
vides a view of the area behind the
vehicle on the multimedia screen 2,
accompanied by one or two fixed or
moving guide lines 3 and 4.
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. Fixed gauge 3
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

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.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/6)
Driving in automatic mode
With the vehicle at a standstill, engine
running, position P, N or R, depress the
brake pedal and move the selector to
the left then back, and release.
If one of the conditions is not applied,
D flashes for around 5 seconds and
the message “Push brake pedal” is dis-
played on the instrument panel for ap-
proximately 15 seconds.
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.
Note: With the engine running and
the vehicle travelling between 0 and
6 mph (0 and 10 km/h), position N or
R , it is not necessary to depress the
brake pedal to engage position D. This
is useful during parking manoeuvres
requiring a number of alternate forward
and reverse movements. 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 briskly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
point of resistance).
It is also possible to change down at
any time for overtaking purposes, by
pushing the selector to position “ -”.
To select reverse gear
With the vehicle at a standstill, engine
running, position P, N or D, depress the
brake pedal and move the selector to
the left then forwards, and release.
If the brake pedal is not depressed, a
beep will sound, the display of position
R flashes for around 5 seconds in the
grid shown on the instrument panel,
and a message “Push brake pedal” is
displayed for around 15 seconds.
Note: With the engine running, and
the vehicle travelling between 0 and
6 mph (0 and 10 km/h), position N or
D , it is not necessary to depress the
brake pedal to engage R. This is useful
during parking manoeuvres requiring
a number of alternate forward and re-
verse movements.
