Advice: antipollution and fuel economy
aDvICe: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
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 parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac -
turer is actively striving to reduce pol -
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main -
tained and used correctly.aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to
optimise consumption, an indicator light
on the instrument panel will inform you
of the best moment to upshift or down -
shift gears:
\ shift up a gear;
[ shift down a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to
respect antipollution regulations could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu -
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations. Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved 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–
ignition: this does not require ad -
justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle’s
engine. Contact an approved dealer
for this.
– idle: this does not require adjust -
ment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-
ment reduces performance. It must

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.).
Driver correction devices and aids

Depending on the vehicle, they may
comprise:
– t h e a bS ( a n t i - l o c k b r a k i n g
system);
– eSC (electronic stability program)
with understeer control and a SR
traction control;
– emergency brake assist with, de -
pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;
– rear wheel steering.
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).
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s

However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.

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 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, warning 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).
t raction 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. operating faults
When the system detects an operat
-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the ESC
and ASR are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

Disabling the aSR function
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 “ Traction control off ” is
displayed on the instrument panel to
inform you.
Traction control (ASR) offers additional
safety; it is recommended that you do
not drive with the function disabled.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
Note: The function is reactivated auto-
matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.
emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer -
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig -
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.

braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma -
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig -
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the
system will not be triggered.

Rear wheel steering
On equipped vehicles, this system,
when the vehicle is being driven, steers
the rear wheels according to driving
conditions: at low speed this system
offers manoeuvrability, at higher speeds
it optimises stability.
When driving at low speeds, the rear
wheels steer in the opposite direction to
the front wheels (figure A ) to increase
the vehicle’s manoeuvrability. This is
used when driving in towns, on winding
roads, during parking manoeuvres, etc.
When driving at speeds above 40 mph
(60 km/h), the rear wheels steer in the
same direction as the front wheels
(figure B) to optimise the vehicle’s sta-
bility. This is useful when changing
lanes or when cornering etc. operating faults

CRUISe CoNtRoL/SPeeD LIMIteR: speed limiter function (2/3)
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”).
v arying the limit speed
To vary the limit speed, press switch 2
(+) repeatedly to increase the speed or
switch 3 (-) to decrease it.
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 kickdown point).
Whilst the speed is being exceeded,
the cruising speed displayed on the in-
strument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator pedal:
the speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed. Limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving 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.
