DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/5)
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.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ABS” ap-
pears on the instrument panel along
with the
© warning light.
Consult an approved dealer.
Driver assistance with a
trailer
This system helps to maintain control
over the vehicle while using a trailer.
It detects shaking caused by towing a
trailer under certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
– the towbar must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the harness must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the towbar must be connected to the vehicle.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
– asymmetric braking of the front wheels to reduce shaking caused by
the trailer;
– braking of all four wheels and limita- tion on engine torque to reduce the
vehicle speed until the shaking has
stopped.
Warning light
 flashes on the in-
strument panel to inform the driver.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (2/6)
Starting
Moving forwards (starting in neutral)
The display indicates gears N and A.
– With the brake pedal depressed, push the selector lever forwards then
release it.
– Release the brake pedal and accel- erate gently to move forwards. Reverse gear
(vehicle stationary)
– Brake pedal depressed. Push the
selector lever towards the right and
to the rear as shown on the base
of the lever, and then release it.
Reverse gear is engaged and the
letter R appears on the display.
– Release the brake pedal: – the engine’s idle speed is suffi-
cient for parking manoeuvres;
– accelerate gently to reverse.
You may shift from reverse gear to a
forwards gear by pushing the lever for-
wards once the vehicle is stationary.
Note: when the vehicle is stationary,
you must depress the brake pedal to
engage or disengage a gear. Otherwise,
warning light 5 will come on.

Exactly like a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox, a vehicle equippe\
d
with a sequential gearbox is unable to prevent the vehicle from rolling \
on
a slope if the handbrake is not applied or the brake pedal constantly de\
-
pressed.

2.47
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (6/6)Bleep
– If you hold the vehicle on a slope for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, you will strain
the system (risk of overheating the
clutch).
In this case, an intermittent beep-
ing sound will remind you that you
should put your foot on the brake
pedal or apply the handbrake.
– Never leave the vehicle with the engine running when in gear. For
safety reasons you will hear an in-
termittent beeping sound when you
open the door if you have not shifted
into neutral or you have not switched
off the ignition or depressed the
brake pedal.
Operating faults
i
If this warning light comes on
when the vehicle is in motion , it
indicates a fault in the system. In most
cases, you may still drive the vehicle,
although it will not function perfectly.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Towing a vehicle with a sequential
gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
– switch on the ignition;
– select neutral with the brake pedal
depressed;
– check that the gearbox is in neutral (by pushing the vehicle, for exam-
ple).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed
with the ignition switched off.
Accelerating and overtaking
– Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually;
– to obtain maximum vehicle per-
formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress the
pedal will allow you to downshift ac-
cording to the vehicle’s capabilities.
Parking
It is possible to park in gear (for exam-
ple, on a slope):
– with the ignition on, select a gear with your foot on the brake ;
– check that a gear other than N is dis- played on the instrument panel, then
remove the ignition key;
– apply the handbrake.
To disengage the gear, switch on the
ignition without starting the engine and
shift the selector lever to neutral with
the brake pedal depressed . Check
that N is displayed on the instrument
panel.

Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (1/2)
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few moments
to let the hot air escape before starting
the engine.
Advice on use
In some situations (air conditioning off,
air recirculation activated, ventilation
speed at zero or low etc.), you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.

Tray 25
Pull tray 25 fully towards you.
Turn it and push it fully.
You can use clip 24 to attach A5 format
documents.
To refit it, pull the table tray fully to-
wards you, lift it up until it is horizontal

Upper cab storage
compartment 26 and 27
Reserved for the transport of objects
only.

compartment 27 must not exceed 5 kg.
Do not hang any heavy and/
or sharp objects which may
fall whilst driving. Risk of
injury.
Nothing should be placed
on the floor area in front of
the driver as such objects
may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.

When the ignition is off, some consu-
mers may also be switched off (dipped
beam headlights, radio, ventilation,
etc.). On the instrument panel, the mes-
sage “BATTERY MODE: ECONOMY”
appears when switched off. When the
level is extremely low, the message
“BATTERY LOW START ENGINE” is
displayed.
The charge status of the battery can
decrease, especially if you use your
vehicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– with the vehicle stopped and the engine off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.

This is located behind step A and does
not require maintenance. You should
not open it or add any fluid .
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must n\
ot
come into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary, consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.
Label B
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 1 naked flames and smoking are for-
bidden;
– 2 eye protection required;
– 3 keep away from children;
– 4 explosive materials;
– 5 refer to the handbook;
– 6 corrosive materials.
The battery is a speci-
fic type, please ensure it
is replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved
dealer.
