ADvICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad -
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through floods
if the water is above the
lower edge of the wheel
rims.Driving– Drive carefully for the first few miles
until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi -
ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub -
stances may be released into the at -
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in -
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possi -
ble;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door
calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
–
In vehicles fitted with air condi -
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es -
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo -
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.

ALL-wHEEL DRIvE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4wD) (1/3)
“AUTO” mode
This is the mode defined each time
the engine is started.
Operating principle
The “AUTO” mode automatically dis -
tributes the torque between the front
and rear axles according to the road
conditions and the vehicle speed. This
position optimises roadholding. Use
this mode where the roads are slippery
or in good condition.
“2wD” mode
Press on the upper section of button 1.
The
‘ indicator light will light up on
the instrument panel.
Operating principle
The “2WD” mode uses the front wheels
only. Use this mode where the roads
are in good condition.
To deactivate this mode, press the
upper section of button 1 again. The in-
dicator light on the instrument panel will
go out.
“4wD Lock” mode
Press the bottom section of button 1 .
The button returns immediately to its
original position. The
’ indica -
tor light will light up on the instrument
panel.
To deactivate this mode, press the
lower section of button 1 again. The in-
dicator light on the instrument panel will
go out.
Operating principle
The “4WD Lock” mode uses the front
and rear axles, each with 50% of the
power. Use this mode on uneven and
unsurfaced roads.
Note: if the vehicle speed exceeds
24 mph (40 km/h) in “4WD Lock” mode,
the system automatically switches back
to “AUTO” mode.
Driving mode switch 1
Depending on the road conditions,
pressing button 1 enables the following
modes to be selected:
– AUTO ;
– 2WD ;
– 4WD Lock.

ALL-wHEEL DRIvE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4wD) (3/3)
All-wheel drive system
– Depending on the driving conditions, the system may switch automatically from “2WD” to “4WD”. In this case, the
“4WD” indicator light does not come on.
– Whichever mode is selected, do not start the engine if the rear wheels are on the ground and the front wheels are in the air
(e.g. vehicle jacked up) or if they are resting on rollers.
– Do not press the mode selector switch while cornering, reversing or if the wheels are slipping. Only select the “2WD”,
“AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a straight line.
– When the engine warms up, the idle speed may be higher. Be careful when driving or stopping on slippery roads with the
“AUTO” mode selected.
– Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
– Snow chains must only be fitted to the front wheels.
– This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to
suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not en-
courage you to drive more quickly. Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).
– It is recommended not to use “4WD Lock” mode permanently when driving on roads in good condition.
– Always ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting tyres
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels may have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.

Electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control
and traction control ASR
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 the direction se-
lected by the driver and the actual di -
rection of the vehicle and corrects this
as necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the engine
power. Traction control
ASR
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.
 lit indicates that the ESC system
(with the ASR) is active. Operating faults
When the system detects an operat
-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© and  appear
on the instrument panel. In this case,
the ESC and ASR are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

DRIvER CORRECTION DEvICES (3/5)
If you deactivate this function, the
traction control (ASR) system will
also be deactivated.
As the ESC and ASR provide enhanced
safety, it is not advisable to drive with
the function switched off. Correct
this as soon as possible by pressing
switch 1 again.
Note: the system is automatically reac-
tivated each time the engine is switched
off.
1
Disabling the ESC function
(including traction control (ASR)
system)
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 “ESC off” is displayed on
the instrument panel to inform you.
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
Depending on the speed at which the
brake pedal is depressed, the system
will detect emergency braking. In this
case, the braking assistance immedi -
ately develops maximum power and
may trigger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel -
eration.

Starting the system
With the vehicle travelling downhill at
less than 15 mph (25 km/h) in first or re-
verse gear (position D or R for vehicles
with an automatic transmission), press
switch 2 to switch to “4WD Lock” mode.
Once a sufficient gradient is detected,
the
• indicator light appears on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the
“HDC operational ” message.
Note: if the vehicle speed exceeds
24 mph (40 km/h), the transmission
switches automatically to “AUTO” mode
(the
• indicator light goes out).
The system can be reactivated by
pressing “4WD Lock” when the vehicle
speed drops below 24 mph (40 km/h).

With the engine cold, the
automatic hill descent con -
trol function can be de -
activated temporarily (the
• warning light goes out).
When the engine temperature rises,
the warning light comes on again
and the function is available.
The automatic hill descent control
system may be deactivated tempo-
rarily if there is a risk of the braking
system overheating.
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.
This system does not operate when
the gear lever is in neutral (position
N or P for vehicles with an auto -
matic transmission), or if the vehicle
is travelling on flat ground.

periods
Press the switch for approximately
3 seconds to deactivate the system: the
indicator light on the switch comes on
and the message “ Parking sensor off”
is displayed on the instrument panel.
The system is reactivated by press -
ing the switch again for approximately
3 seconds.
Operating faultsWhen the system detects an operat -
ing fault, the message “ Check parking
sensor ” is displayed on the instrument
panel, the
© warning light comes
on and a beep sounds.
Consult an approved Dealer.
When the vehicle is being driven
at a speed below 7 mph (12 km/h),
certain noises (motorcycle, lorry,
pneumatic drill, rain, alarm etc.) may
trigger the beeping sound.

Under the following conditions, the
parking distance control system
may not function:
– the sensors are obscured (dirt,
mud, snow, etc.);
Clean with a soft cloth.
– the sensors are frozen.
Under the following conditions, the
parking distance control system
may malfunction:
– uneven surface, gravel track, hill,
forest track, etc.
– floods or water splashes.
The system may not detect objects
such as the following:
– narrow obstacles (sharp-edged
objects or rope);
– materials which absorb sound
waves easily (cotton, sponge,
snow, etc.)

Operation
N With the gear lever 2 in position P,
switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
the unlocking button 1.
With the foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light
c on display A goes out),
move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi -
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re -
leased.
A
Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic con -
ditions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
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.

AUTOMATIC OR CONTINUOUSLY vARIABLE TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– backwards to shift down the gears;
– forwards to shift up the gears.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, or electronic stability
control (ESC) operational etc.) the au -
tomatic system may change gear auto-
matically.
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.
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent repeated gear
changes when climbing and will
enable engine braking on long de -
scents.
– In very cold weather, to avoid stall-
ing the engine, start the engine and
wait a few seconds before moving
the lever from position P or N to po-
sition D or R.
– v ehicles not fitted with traction
control: to avoid wheelspin when
starting on a slippery or low grip sur-
face, change to manual mode and
select second gear before moving
off.
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.
Depending on the vehicle, apply the
handbrake or check that the elec -
tronic parking brake is on (refer to
the information on the Parking brake in
Section 2).
In very cold weather, the system may prevent the gears from being shifted in
manual mode until the gearbox reaches the right temperature.
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.
