Pull the lever 5 up slightly, press
button 6 and then lower the lever to the
floor.
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
GEAR CONTROL (2/2)/HANDBRAKE
Parking the vehicle
When 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.
In the event an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture), this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
Do not touch the circuit elements or
any fluids or liquids.
To prevent any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorised dealer.
Risk of serious injury or electric
shock and risk to life.
When setting off , if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever
can be released manually. To do this,
unclip the base of the lever and simulta-
neously press at location 4 and the un-
locking button 6 on the lever.
When stationary and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage position P.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/3)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– of the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– electronic stability program (ESC) with understeer control and trac-
tion control;
– emergency brake assist;
– hill start assistance.
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle’s physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front, etc.). Operating faults:
– If the x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while driv-
ing, braking is still operational ;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
In such cases, ABS, ESC and emer-
gency brake assist are also deactivated
and, depending on the vehicle, the
messages “CHECK ABS”, “BRAKES
TO BE CHECKED” and “CHECK ESC”
appear on the instrument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.

one of the front or rear doors is opened,
the period for which the light is switched
on will start again.
Then the courtesy light and the luggage
compartment light dim and go out.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the remote control unit
inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others
by starting the vehicle, activating
equipment such as the electric win-
dows, or locking the doors. If any
part of the body becomes trapped,
reverse the direction of the window
immediately by pressing the rele-
vant switch. Risk of serious injury.

3.16
One-touch electric window(depending on vehicle)
The one-touch mode works in addition
to the operation of the electric windows
described previously.
It is fitted to the driver’s window and
is used for lowering only.
Briefly press switch 1: the window will
open completely.
Pressing the switch again while the
window is moving will stop its move-
ment.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS (2/2)/HALF-OPENING WINDOW

Half-opening window
To half-open the window, turn handle 4
in the direction of the arrow, then lock it
by pushing the handle. When closing it,
check that it is properly locked.

Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

3.21
To raise the seatback
Before raising the seatback, make sure
there are no objects (water bottle, tool
box etc.) which will prevent it from lock-
ing properly.
Raise the seatback and click it into po-
sition. Check that it is correctly locked.
To fold down the seatback
Before moving the bench seat, make
sure the front seats are pushed forward
enough, that the rear seat belts are un-
fastened and that nothing will obstruct
the manoeuvre.
Lower the rear headrests to storage po-
sition.
Pull lever 1 of the seatback you wish to
fold down (on the right or left-hand side
of the bench seat), and bring the seat-
back down.
REAR BENCH SEAT: functions (1/2)
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
When moving the rear
bench seat, make sure
the bench seat anchor-
age points are clean (they
should be free from grit, cloths etc.).
When refitting the seatback,
make sure it is correctly
locked.
If using seat covers, make
sure they do not prevent the seat-
back and seat base latches from
locking in. Ensure that the seat belts
and seat belt fasteners are correctly
positioned.
Reposition the headrests.

when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Unlocking the bonnet catch
To open, push tab 2 to the left as you
open the bonnet.
Opening the bonnetLift the bonnet, helping it up, and it will

Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Check that nothing is pre-
venting the catch from lock-
ing (gravel, cloth, etc.).
BONNET (2/2)
Closing the bonnet
Check that nothing has been left in the
engine compartment.
To close the bonnet again, hold the
bonnet in the middle and lower it to
30 cm above the closed position, then
release it. It will latch automatically
under its own weight.
After carrying out any work
in the engine compart-
ment, check that nothing
has been left behind (cloth,
tools, etc.).
These may damage the engine or
cause a fire.
In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet lock checked by
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
