Warning lights (3/4)
The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.
xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This light comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out within about
3 seconds. If it comes on when you are
driving, it indicates a fault in the anti-
lock braking system. Braking will then
occur normally, without the anti-lock
system.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
^Water in the diesel filter
warning light
If it comes on when you are driving, it
indicates the presence of water in the
diesel. Contact your approved dealer
as soon as possible.
ÀOil pressure warning light
This light comes on when the
ignition is switched on and goes out
within about 3 seconds. If it lights up
while you are driving, stop at once and
switch off the ignition. Check the oil
level. If the level is correct, the light has
come on for another reason; contact an
approved dealer.
Traction control warning
light
Refer to the information on “Driving cor-
rection devices and aids” in Section 2.
zBrake pad wear warning
light
Depending on the vehicle, if the warn-
ing light comes on, you must have your
brake pads checked as soon as possi-
ble.
Lane departure system war-
ning light
Please refer to the information on “Lane
departure warning” in Section 2.
ÉPreheating warning light
This should come on when
the ignition is switched on. It indicates
that the heater plugs are in operation.
It goes out after preheating is sufficient
and the engine can be started.
T Digital tacograph warning light
If it comes on, there is a fault in the
system. Refer to the handbook for the
equipment.
Engine standby warning
light
Please refer to the information on the
“Stop and Start Function” in Section 2.
\bUnavailability of engine
standby warning light
Please see information in the para-
graph on “Stop and Start Function” in
Section 2.

TRACTION CONTROL OFF Indicates that you have deactivated the traction control function.
BATTERY MODE: ECONOMY Indicates that vehicle accessories have been switched off to preserve the battery.
OIL LEVEL CORRECT Indicates that the oil level is correct when the ignition is switched on\
.
These can help in the vehicle starting phase, or give information about \
a selection or a driving status.
Examples of information messages are given in the following pages.

These appear with the © warning light and mean that you should drive very carefully to an author\
ised dealer as soon
as possible. If you fail to follow this recommendation, you risk damagin\
g your vehicle.
They disappear when the display selection key is pressed or after severa\
l seconds and are stored in the computer log. The

n de-
vices and aids” in Section 2).
CHECK FUEL FILTER Indicates that there is water present in the diesel fuel.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as possible.
CHECK GEARBOX Indicates that a fault has occurred in the gearbox; contact an approved
Dealer as soon as possible.
CHECK AUTO LIGHTS Indicates an automatic lighting operating fault; contact an approved Dea\
ler.
CHECK ANTI- POLLUTION – Indicates a fault in the vehicle’s emission control system.

mpanied

 warning light. Refer to the information on “Additive tank” in
Section 1.

2.17
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ESC” and
warning light
© and  appear
on the instrument panel. In this case,
the ESC and traction control system
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Electronic stability program
(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.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
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.
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.
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 vigi-
lance or responsibility of the driver
when manoeuvring the vehicle (the
driver must always be ready for
sudden incidents which may occur
when driving).

2.19
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/5)
Grip control
If fitted on the vehicle, grip control
makes it easier to control the vehicle on
low grip surfaces (soft ground, etc.).“Soft ground” mode
Press the switch 1: warning light 
comes on the instrument panel accom-
panied by the message “VARIABLE
HIGHWAY MODE”.
This position enables optimal usage
on soft ground (mud, sand, dead
leaves, etc.). In this position, engine
speed is left under the driver’s control.
The system automatically switches to
“Road” mode at speeds above 30 mph
(50 km/h), and warning light
 on
the instrument panel goes out.
Tyres
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
dealer.
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.
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 vigi-
lance or responsibility of the driver
when manoeuvring the vehicle (the
driver must always be ready for
sudden incidents which may occur
when driving).
“Road” mode
Upon starting up the vehicle, the
“STANDARD HIGHWAY MODE” mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument
panel. Warning light
 on the in-
strument panel is out.
This position enables optimal usage
under normal driving conditions (dry-
ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).
“Road” mode uses traction control func-
tions.
