Disabling the function ASR
In  some  situations  (driving  on  very  wet 
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with 
snow  chains  fitted),  the  system  may 
reduce the engine output to limit wheel -
spin. If this is not required, it is possible 
to  deactivate  the  function  by  pressing 
switch 1.
The  message  “Traction  control  deac -
tivated”  is  displayed  on  the  instrument 
panel to inform you. The  traction  control  ASR  offers  addi
-
tional  safety,  it  is  recommended  that 
you do not drive with the function disa-
bled.  Correct  this  as  soon  as  possible 
by pressing switch  1 again.
Note: The  function  is  reactivated  auto-
matically  when  the  ignition  is  switched 
on  or  when  a  speed  of  approximately 
24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.
Emergency brake assist
This  is  an  additional  system  to  ABS 
which  helps  reduce  vehicle  stopping 
distances.
Operating principle
The  system  detects  an  emergency 
braking situation. In this case, the brak-
ing  assistance  immediately  develops 
maximum  power  and  may  trigger ABS 
regulation.
ABS  braking  is  maintained  as  long  as 
the brake pedal is not released.

braking anticipation
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  when  you 
rapidly  release  the  accelerator,  the 
system  anticipates  the  braking  ma -
noeuvre  in  order  to  reduce  stopping 
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
–  if you use the accelerator, when you 
release  it,  the  system  may  be  trig -
gered;
–  if you do not use the accelerator, the 
system will not be triggered.

Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In  most  traffic  conditions,  you  will  not 
have  to  touch  the  gear  selector  lever 
again:  the  gears  will  change  automati -
cally  at  the  right  time  and  at  the  most 
suitable engine speed because the au-
tomatic  system  takes  into  account  the 
vehicle  load  and  road  contour  and  ad-
justs itself to the particular driving style 
you have chosen.
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.

Operating faults
– When  driving,  if  the  message 
“Check  gearbox”  and  the 
© 
warning  light  appear  on  the  instru -
ment panel, this indicates a fault.
Contact  your  approved  Dealer  as 
soon as possible.
–  When  driving,   if  the  message 
“Gearbox  overheating”  appears  on 
the instrument panel, drive at a mod-
erate  speed  and  avoid  leaving  the 
lever  in  the  D  (or R)  position,  where 
traffic conditions allow: always return 
to the N position when you stop.
Contact  your  approved  Dealer  as 
soon as possible.
–  If  a  vehicle  with  an  automatic 
gearbox  breaks  down,   refer  to  the 
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
AUTOMATIC GEARbOx (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
With  the  selector  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 backwards;
–  To move up through the gears, push 
the lever forwards.
The  gear  selected  is  displayed  on  the 
instrument panel.
Special cases
In  certain  driving  conditions  (eg.: 
engine  protection,  operation  of  the 
Electronic  Stability  Program)  the  auto -
mated system may change the gear au-
tomatically.
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.

Economical driving
When  driving,  leave  the  lever  in  posi -
tion  D,  keeping  the  accelerator  pedal 
lightly  depressed  to  ensure  automatic 
gear  changes  at  comparatively  low 
engine speeds.
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.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved 
dealer.

–  Vehicles  not  fitted  with  traction 
control:  on  a  slippery  surface  or 
surface with a low level of adhesion, 
select  second  gear  manually  before 
starting  the  engine  to  avoid  wheel -
spin when starting.
Parking the vehicleWhen 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.
Special circumstances
–  Snow position: if you are driving on 
ground  where  you  are  likely  to  skid 
(snow,  mud,  etc.),  press  switch  4 , 
and  operating  tell-tale  5   will  come 
on.
Once  these  special  driving  con -
ditions  no  longer  apply,  exit  this 
function  by  pressing  switch  4 
again.  Operating  tell-tale  light  5 
goes out.

–  If  the  bends  and  road  surface   do 
not  allow  you  to  stay  in  automatic 
mode (eg. in the mountains), we rec-
ommend that you change to manual 
mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box  from  changing  gear  repeatedly 
when  climbing,  and  permit  engine 
braking on long descents.
–  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..

Adjusting automatic mode
The  system  normally  operates  in  auto-
matic mode but you can alter the stand-
ard  settings  used  by  the  system  (air 
distribution,  etc.).  These  options  are 
explained on the following pages.
AUt OMA tiC CLiMA te COntrOL (3/8)
Automatic  mode  is  the  recom -
mended mode of use
The  automatic  climate  control 
system  guarantees  comfort  in  the 
passenger  compartment  and  good 
visibility  (except  in  the  event  of  ex -
treme  conditions),  while  optimising 
consumption.
The  types  of  adjustments  that  can 
be made are described in the follow -
ing pages.
Return  to  automatic  mode  as  soon 
as possible.
The  displayed  temperature  values 
show a comfort level.
When  starting  the  engine,  increas -
ing  or  decreasing  the  value  dis -
played  will  not  allow  the  com -
fort  level  to  be  reached  any  more 
quickly.  The  system  will  always  op-
timise  the  temperature  increase  or 
decrease  (the  ventilation  system 
does not start instantly at maximum 
speed:  it  gradually  increases).  This 
may take several minutes.
Generally  speaking,  unless  there  is 
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.

In  automatic  mode,  depending  on 
the  outside  air  conditions,  the  ven -
tilation may not start immediately at 
maximum  power  but  will  increase 
progressively  until  the  engine  tem -
perature is warm enough to heat the 
passenger  compartment  air.  This 
may  take  from  a  few  seconds  to 
several minutes.
v arying the ventilation speed
In  automatic  mode,  the  system  uses 
the most suitable amount of air to reach 
and maintain the desired comfort level.
Automatic  mode  is  switched  off  by 
pressing buttons  8 and 10.
These buttons allow you to increase or 
decrease ventilation speed.
switching air conditioning on 
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches 
the  air  conditioning  system  on  or  off, 
depending on the climate conditions.
Exit  automatic  mode  by  pressing 
button  2 :  the  AUTO  warning  light  on 
display  4 goes out. n
ote:   the  “Clear  View”  function  auto -
matically  activates  the  air  conditioning. 
Press  button  5   to  return  to  automatic 
mode.

Operating faults
As  a  general  rule,  contact  your  ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
–  r eduction  in  de-icing,  demist -
ing  or  air  conditioning  per -
formance.   This  may  be  caused 
by  the  passenger  compartment 
filter cartridge 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.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  manual  air 
conditioning,  switch  off  the  system 
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption 
and helping to preserve the envi-
ronment
Drive  with  the  air  vents  on  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.
Air COnDitiOninG:  information and advice on use
note
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.
Do  not  open  the  refriger -
ant  fluid  circuit.   The  fluid 
may damage eyes or skin.Maintenance
