SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution
system” is displayed along with warn-
ing lights
Ä and ©, consult an
authorised dealer immediately.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully charged,
– always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (1/3)
Note:
To indicate that the electronic parking
brake is released, a beep sounds and
the message “Apply parking brake” ap-
pears on the instrument panel:
– with the engine running: when the driver’s door is opened;
– with the engine switched off (eg. when the engine stalls): when a front
door is opened.
In this case, pull and release switch 1 to
apply the assisted parking brake.
Assisted release of the parking
brake
The brake will be released as soon as
the vehicle starts and accelerates.Assisted operation
The assisted parking brake immobilises
the vehicle when stopping the engine
(and not when the engine is on
standby for vehicles fitted with the
Stop and Start function). Please refer
to “Starting, stopping the engine” and
“Stop and Start function” in Section 2.
In all other instances, e.g. engine stal-
ling, the electronic parking brake is not
applied automatically. Manual mode
must be used.
For certain country-specific model ver-
sions, the assisted brake application
function is not activated. Refer to the
information on “Manual operation”. To confirm that the electronic parking
brake is applied, the message “Parking
brake on” and warning light
}
on the instrument panel and warning
light 2 on the switch 1 light up.
After the engine is switched off, indi-
cator light 2 goes out several minutes
after the electronic parking brake has
been applied and indicator light
}
goes out when the vehicle is locked.
Before leaving the vehi-
cle, check that the assisted
parking brake is fully ap-
plied. Warning light 2 on
switch 1 and warning light
}
on the instrument panel light up to
show that the parking brake is ap-
plied but go out when the doors are
locked.

Operating faults
– If there is a fault, the © warning
light illuminates on the instrument
panel accompanied by the “Check
parking brake” message and, in
some cases, the
} warning
light.
Please contact an authorised dealer
as soon as possible.
– If there is an assisted parking brake fault, the warning light
® comes
on, along with the message “Braking
system fault”, a beep and, in some
cases, the warning light
}.
This means that you must stop as
soon as traffic conditions allow.
Versions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, automatic release
is deactivated when the driver’s door
is open or not shut properly and the
engine is running (in order to prevent
the vehicle from moving without the
driver). The “Release parking brake
manually” message appears on the
instrument panel when the driver de-
presses the accelerator.
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (3/3)
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au-
tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-
quires it, chock the vehicle.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selector
lever to position P. This is
because when the vehicle
is stationary with the engine running
and a gear engaged, the vehicle
may begin to move if you accele-
rate.
There is a risk of accidents.
If no lights or sounds are
apparent, this indicates
a fault in the instrument
panel. This indicates that
it is essential to stop immediately
(as soon as traffic conditions allow).
Ensure that the vehicle is correctly
immobilised and contact an appro-
ved Dealer.
In the event of message
“Electric failure DANGER”
or “Check battery”, manu-
ally activate the electronic
parking brake by pulling switch 1 (or
position the gear lever in P for au-
tomatic gearboxes) before stopping
the engine.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the
vehicle.
Contact an authorised dealer.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life, which will come
into force in 2015.
Some of the parts on your vehicle have
been designed to be recycled later.
These parts are easily removable in
order to be collected and reprocessed
in recycling networks.
Furthermore, by virtue of its design,
moderate fuel consumption and initial
settings, your vehicle also conforms
to current anti-pollution regulations.
The manufacturer is actively striving
to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emis-
sions and to save energy. However,
the fuel consumption of your vehicle
and the level of pollutant exhaust gas
emissions are also your responsibility.
Ensure that it is maintained and used
correctly.Maintenance
It is important to remember that fail-
ure to respect anti-pollution regulations
could lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner.
In addition, replacing engine, fuel
supply system and exhaust compo-
nents with parts other than those origi-
nally recommended by the manufac-
turer may alter your vehicle so that it
no longer complies with anti-pollution
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Air filter, fuel filter: a choked ele-
ment will reduce efficiency. It must
be replaced.
– Idle speed: no adjustment is needed.
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
an authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

2.31
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/4)
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.).
Depending on the vehicle, they will con-
sist of:
– ABS (anti-lock braking system) ;
– ESC
(electronic stability control)
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).
Operating faults:
–
© and x lit up on the in-
strument panel alongside mes-
sages “Check ABS”, “Check braking
system” and “Check ESC”: indicates
the ABS, ESC and emergency brake
assist are deactivated. Braking is
always enabled;
–
x, D, © and ® lit
up on the instrument panel alongside
the message “Braking system fault”:
this indicates a fault in the braking
system.
In both cases, consult an approved
dealer.
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.
Warning light ® re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Switch off the engine and do
not restart it. Contact an approved
Dealer.

Electronic stability control
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.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/4)
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 traction con-
trol system are deactivated. Consult an
authorised dealer.

2.37
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off-
road
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESC function by
pressing the “ESC” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel brak-
ing remains active. This function ap-
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be
transferred to the wheels with the most
grip. This is particularly useful when
crossing a bridge.
All the ESC functions will be reacti-
vated when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h)
(24.8 mph [40 km/h] in 4WD Lock
mode), when the engine is restarted
or when the “ESC” switch is pressed
again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating fault,
it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode. The message “Check 4WD” is
displayed on the instrument panel, and
the
‘ and © warning lights
come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a moder-
ate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system
may not be able to switch to “2WD” or
"4WD Lock” mode. “AUTO” mode re-
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
After stopping the engine, the system
may take up to five minutes to cool
down.
If the system detects excessive wheel-
spin on the front wheels, it adapts the
engine to run in a way that reduces
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in
LOCK mode
When “4WD Lock” mode is active, the
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this
case, the wheels may lock intermit-
tently to achieve better grip, thus reduc-
ing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is lim- ited during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is normal, and does not indicate an op-
erating fault.

2.58
Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Consult
an authorised dealer.
Note: When the engine is started, the
indicator light 6 (display B) flashes
three times. It is normal.
– The system’s detection
range operates according
to a standard lane width. If
you are driving in wide traf-
fic lanes, the system might not
be able to detect a vehicle in the
blind spot.
– The system might be disrupted momentarily if it is exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves
(as beneath high-tension power
lines) or to very poor weather
conditions (heavy rain, snow,
etc.). Remain aware of driving
conditions.
There is a risk of accidents.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (4/4)
Because sensors have
been installed in the bump-
ers, any work (repairs, re-
placements, touching up of
paintwork) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.

Conditions for non-function
– If the object is not moving;
– if traffic is heavy;
– the road is winding;
– if front and rear sensors both detect objects at the same time (e.g. when
passing an articulated lorry).

Switching off the function
The cruise control function is stopped if
you press switch 5 on the
 side; in
this case a speed is no longer stored.
The green
 indicator light and the
message “Adaptive cruise ctrl” on the
instrument panel go out to confirm that
the function is deactivated.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (6/8)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “Check cruise con-
trol” appears on the instrument panel.
There are two possibilities:
– the system is temporarily disrupted (for example: radar obscured by dirt,
mud, snow etc.). In this case, park
the vehicle and switch off the engine.
Clean the detection zone of the ra-
dar-camera. When you next start
the engine, the warning light and the
message go out;
– otherwise, this may be caused by another fault. Consult an approved
dealer

4.3
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 guide it down,
allowing a 30 cm gap before it is closed,
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.
Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Check that nothing is pre-
venting the catch from lock-
ing (gravel, cloth, etc.).
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.
