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.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/3)
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel -
eration.
Operating faultsWhen the system detects an operating
fault the message “braking fault” ap -
pears on the instrument panel along
with the
© warning light.
Consult an approved dealer.
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.

Refer to Section 5, “Tyres” for infor-

and, depending on the vehicle ver -
sion, the use of chains.
Special note
For vehicles used fully laden
( m a x i m u m p e r m i s s i b l e a l l - u p

maximum speed must be limited
to 60 mph (100 km/h) (48 mph

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.
