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.

Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  these  may 
light  up  in  the  event  of  sudden  decel -
eration.

fault  the  message  “braking  fault”  ap -

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.

Tyre  pressures  should  be  checked

If the tyre pressures cannot be checked 
when  the  tyres  are  cold,  increase  the 
pressures from  0.2 to 0.3 bar (or  3 pSI).

and,  depending  on  the  vehicle  ver -

tyres (2/3)
Pressures should be checked when the 
tyres  are  cold;  ignore  higher  pressures 
which  may  be  reached  in  hot  weather 
or following a fast journey.
If  tyre  pressures  cannot  be  checked 
when  the  tyres  are  cold,  the  normal 
pressures  must  be  increased  by  0.2  to 
0.3 bar (or 3 PsI).
never deflate a hot tyre.Fitting new tyres
changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
emergency spare wheel
Refer  to  the  information  on  the 
“Emergency  spare  wheel”  and  in -
structions  on  “Changing  a  wheel”  in 
Section 5.
t yre pressuresRespect  the  tyre  pressures  (including 
the  emergency  spare  wheel).  Check 
them at least once a month and before 
a long journey (refer to the label on the 
edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect  tyre  pressures 
lead  to  abnormal  tyre  wear 
and  unusually  hot  running. 
These  are  factors  which 
may seriously affect safety and lead 
to:
–  poor road holding;
–  risk  of  bursting  or  tread  separa -
tion.
The  pressure  depends  on  the  load 
and  the  speed  of  use.  Adjust  the 
pressures  according  to  the  condi -
tions of use (refer to the information 
on “Tyre pressures”).
Please  be  aware  that  a 
poorly  tightened  or  miss -
ing valve cap can make the 
tyres  less  airtight  and  lead 
to pressure loss.
Always  use  valve  caps  identical  to 
those  fitted  originally  and  tighten 
them fully.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration  must  be  carried  out 
by a specialist.
Fitting  different  tyres  may 
change your vehicle as follows:
–  may  mean  that  your  vehicle  no 
longer  conforms  to  current  regu-
lations;
–  it may change the way it handles 
when cornering;
–  it  may  cause  the  steering  to  be 
heavy;
–  It  may  affect  the  use  of  snow 
chains.

use in winter
–  chains
For  safety  reasons,  fitting  snow 
chains  to  the  rear  axle  is  strictly 
forbidden.
chains  must  not  be  fitted  to  tyres 
which are larger than those originally 
fitted to the vehicle.
Chains  may  only  be  fitted 
to  tyres  of  the  same  size 
as  those  originally  fitted  to 
your vehicle.
Only  certain  chains  can  be  fitted  to 
tyres. Consult an approved Dealer.
–  snow or winter tyres We would recommend that these be 
fitted  to  all  four  wheels   to  ensure 
that  your  vehicle  retains  maximum 
grip.
note: be aware that these tyres may 
sometimes have:
–  a direction of travel  ;
–  a  maximum  speed  index  which 
may  be  lower  than  the  maximum 
speed of your vehicle.
–  studded tyres This  type  of  equipment  may  only  be 
used for a limited period and as laid 
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed 
specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be 
fitted to the two front wheels.
In  all  cases,  we  would  recommend 
that you contact an approved dealer 
who  will  be  able  to  advise  you  on 
the  choice  of  equipment  which  is 
most suitable for your vehicle.
