DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/5)
Grip control
If fitted on the vehicle, grip control 
makes it easier to control the vehicle on 
low grip surfaces (soft ground, etc.).
“Road” mode
Upon starting up the vehicle, the 
“STANDARD HIGHWAY MODE” mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument 
panel. The warning light on the switch 1 
goes out. 
This position enables optimal usage 
under normal driving conditions (dry-
ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).
“Road” mode uses traction control func-
tions. “Soft ground” mode
Press the switch 1: the integrated war-
ning light 
1 comes on, along with the 
instrument panel message “VARIABLE 
HIGHWAY MODE”.
This position enables optimal usage on 
soft ground (mud, sand, dead leaves, 
etc.). In this position, engine speed is left 
under the driver’s control. The system 
automatically switches to “Road” mode 
at speeds above 30 mph (50 km/h), and 
the warning light on button  1 goes out.
Tyres
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the 
same make, size, type and 
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should 
either be identical to those fitted 
originally or conform to those 
recommended by your approved 
dealer.

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
Under certain driving conditions (e.g. 
engine protection, electronic stability 
program (ESP) operational etc.: ESC)
the automatic system may change gear 
automatically.
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.1
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.
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 “CHECK 
GEARBOX” message and the 
© warning light appear on the 
instrument panel, this indicates a 
fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as 
soon as possible.
– When  driving,  if the message 
“GEARBOX OVERHEATING” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, drive 
at a moderate speed and avoid leav-
ing the gearstick in the  D (or R) po-
sition, where traffic conditions allow: 
always return to N while the vehicle 
is stationary.
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 (3/3)
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
–  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..

Only the temperature and the AUTO 
symbol are displayed
Functions managed in automatic mode 
are not displayed.
– press button 6 to increase the tem-
perature;
– press button  3 to decrease the tem-
perature.
Note:  The maximum and minimum 
settings of 15°C and 27°C allow the 
system to produce a minimum or maxi-
mum temperature, whatever the am-
bient conditions.
In automatic mode (AUTO indica-
tor light on the display is lit), all air 
conditioning functions are controlled 
by the system.
When you modify certain functions 
the AUTO indicator light goes out. 
Only the modified function stops 
being controlled by the system.
To reach and keep the chosen comfort 
level and to maintain good visibility, the 
system controls:
– ventilation speed;
– air distribution;
–  air recirculation management;
–  air conditioning start/stop;
–  the air temperature.Automatic mode
Press button  5. The AUTO operating 
tell-tale will come on.
The automatic climate control system 
guarantees comfort in the passenger 
compartment and good visibility (except 
in the event of extreme conditions), 
while optimising fuel consumption.
This is the recommended mode of 
use.

Adjusting automatic mode
The system normally operates in auto-
matic mode but you can alter the stan-
dard settings used by the system (air 
distribution, etc.). These options are ex-
plained on the following pages.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE 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 fol-
lowing pages.
Return to automatic mode as soon 
as possible.
The displayed temperature values 
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, in-
creasing or decreasing the value 
displayed 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.

3.11
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (5/8)
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 se-
veral minutes.
Varying 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 pres-
sing 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. Note: the “Clear View” function auto-
matically activates the air conditioning. 
Press button 
5 to return to automatic 
mode.

Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance.  You should not open it or add 
any fluid.
Handle the battery with care 
as it contains sulphuric acid, 
which must not come into 
contact with eyes or skin. If 
it does, wash the affected area with 
plenty of cold water. If necessary, 
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot 
objects and sparks do not come into 
contact with the battery as there is a 
risk of explosion.
BATTERY (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, a system 
continuously checks the battery charge 
status.
When the ignition is off, some consum-
ers may also be switched off (dipped 
beam headlights, radio, ventilation, 
etc.). On the instrument panel, the 
“BATTERY MODE : ECONOMY” mes-
sage appears when they are switched 
off. When the level is extremely low, 
the messages “BATTERY LOW” and 
“START ENGINE” are displayed.
The charge status of the battery can 
decrease, especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
–  for short journeys;
–  for driving in town;
–  when the temperature drops, etc.;
–  with the vehicle stopped and the  engine off.
The engine may be hot 
during operations in close 
proximity. In addition, the 
engine cooling fan may 
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.
