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.

2.17
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.

Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored.
The green
and indicator lights
on the instrument panel go out, con-
firming that the function is deactivated.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing button 5 (R), on con-
dition that you are driving faster than
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and
that you are sure that the driving condi-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface
condition, weather conditions, etc.).
NB: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– the brake pedal;
– move to neutral position;
– switch 4 (O).
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
stored.
Standby is confirmed when the green
warning light goes out and the
“stored” message appears on the in-
strument panel.
CRUISE CONTROL (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

Temporary deactivation of
the system
(depending on vehicle)
Press switch 2 to deactivate the system:
The indicator light built into the switch
lights up to remind you that the system
is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.
The system is automatically reactivated
after the ignition is switched off and the
engine restarted.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/2)
Operating faultsWhen the system detects an operating
fault, a beep sounds for about 3 sec-
onds as a warning. Consult an ap-
proved dealer
In the event of 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.
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved dealer.

Prolonged deactivation of the
system
You can deactivate the system perma-
nently by pressing and holding switch 2.
The warning light built into the switch
remains lit constantly.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, please use the kit located
in the glovebox.
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.

parking brake applied,
– Disconnect any accessories previ- ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-
cessories socket;
– refer to the information on the infla- tion kit compressor and follow the in-
structions;
– inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (please refer to the infor-
mation in the section on “Tyre pres-
sures”);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure
(on the pressure gauge 2).
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 2 will indicate briefly
a pressure of 6 bar, then the pres-
sure drops;
– Adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit. To
reduce it, press the button 1.
