TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/4)
TYRE PUNCTURE
The warning light
 stays on to-
gether with a beep and, depending
on the vehicle, the message “TYRE
PUNCTURE”.
This message is accompanied by the
warning light
®.
They indicate that at least one wheel
is punctured or severely underinfla-
ted. Replace it or contact an authorised
dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre
pressure if the wheel is deflated.
Warning light ® re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions
allow.
The sudden loss of pressure in a
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.
CHECK TYRE SENSORS
The warning light
 flashes for
several seconds, then stays on and,
depending on the vehicle, together
with the message “CHECK TYRE
SENSORS ”.
This message is accompanied by the
warning light
©.
They indicate that at least one tyre is
not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency
spare wheel). In other cases, contact
an authorised dealer.
Display
The display 2 on the instrument panel
informs you of any tyre pressure faults
(flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).
CHECK TYRE PRESSURES
The warning light
 stays on
and, depending on the vehicle, along
with the message “CHECK TYRE
PRESSURES”.
These indicate that at least one tyre is
flat.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the
pressures of the four wheels when cold.
The warning light
 goes off after a
few minutes’ driving.

2.14
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Please see the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5.
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system
and available from your dealer net-
work: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor. When it is fitted on the vehi-
cle, the warning light
 flashes
for several seconds, then stays on, to-
gether with the warning light
©.
Depending on the vehicle, the message
“CHECK TYRE SENSORS” appears
on the instrument panel.
Readjustment of tyre
pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (4/4)
Tyre repair product and
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially desi-
gned, only use equipment approved by
the approved network. Please refer to
“Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.

2.15
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 while driving, this indicates a
fault in 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.

2.16
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/3)
Electronic stability program
ESC with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
 flashes on the instrument panel. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ESC” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the ESC
and traction control system are deacti-
vated.
Consult an approved dealer.

2.17
Emergency brake assistThis 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.
Operating faultsWhen the system detects an operating
fault the message “BRAKING FAULT”
appears on the instrument panel along
with the
© warning light. Please
consult an authorised dealer.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/3)
Hill start assistance
Depending on the gradient of the in-
cline, this system assists the driver
when starting on a hill. It prevents the
vehicle from rolling backwards, de-
pending on the slope, by automatically
applying the brakes when the driver lifts
his/her foot off the brake pedal to de-
press the accelerator pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral and the
vehicle is completely stationary (brake
pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope).
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit-
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling forwards or back-
wards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

2.18
The speed limiter function helps you
stay within the driving speed limit that
you choose, known as the limit speed.
SPEED LIMITER (1/3)
Switching on
Press the side switch 1 . Warning
light
 comes on, lit orange, and the
“SPEED LIMITER” message appears
on the instrument panel, accompanied
by dashes to indicate that the speed
limiter function is activated and waiting
to store a limit speed.
To store the current speed, press
switch 2 (+): The limit speed will replace
the dashes.
The minimum stored speed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Speed limiter activation, memory and increase (+).
3 Decreasing the speed limiter (-).
4 Speed limiter function standby (with limited speed memory) (O).
5 Activation and recall of memorised limit speed (R).

2.19
SPEED LIMITER (2/3)Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any moment. To do this: press the
accelerator pedal firmly and fully
(beyond the resistance point).
Whilst the speed is being exceeded,
the cruising speed displayed on the in-
strument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator: the
speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limit speed: the stored speed will flash
on the instrument panel information dis-
play to inform you of this situation.
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.
Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelera-
tor pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).
Varying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by re-
peatedly pressing:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed;
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.

2.20
SPEED LIMITER (3/3)
Putting the function on
standby
The speed limiter function is suspended
when you press switch 4 (O). In this
case, the limit speed remains stored
and the message “SPEED MEMORY”
accompanied by this speed appears on
the instrument panel.
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing switch 5 (R).
When the speed limiter is put on
standby, pressing switch 2 (+) re-
activates the function without taking
into account the stored speed: it is
the speed at which the vehicle is
moving that is taken into account.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is deacti-
vated when you press switch 1. In this
case, the speed is no longer stored.
The orange instrument panel warning
light
 goes out, confirming that the
function is stopped.

2.21
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 18 mph (30 km/h).
CRUISE CONTROL (1/4)
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid. The func-
tion does not take the place
of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-
pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-
ing, gravel) and during bad weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls 1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage
and increase switch (+).
3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4 Switch the function to standby
(with cruising speed saved) (O).
5 Activation with recall of saved
cruising speed (R).

Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Switching on
Press switch 1 side .
Indicator light 6 comes on, lit green, and
the message “CRUISE CONTROL” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Please note that you must
keep your feet close to the
pedals in order to react in
an emergency.
CRUISE CONTROL (2/4)

Activating cruise controlAt a steady speed (above 18 mph
(30 km/h approximately)) press switch 2
or (+): the function is activated and the
current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes
and the cruise control is confirmed by
the appearance of a message on the
instrument panel and warning light 7 lit
green, as well as warning light 6.
