When stationary, and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox
or position P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic gearbox.
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.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.
To apply:
Pull lever 3 upwards. Check that the
vehicle is immobilised. The warning
light
} on the instrument panel will
come on.

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 2 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 electronic parking brake immobi-
lises the vehicle when the engine is
switched off by pressing the engine
start/stop button 1 or by turning the
ignition key (key in the “ ON" 2 po-
sition).
In all other circumstances, for example
stalling of the engine or placing of
the engine on standby by the Stop
and Start function (refer to the informa-
tion on the "Stop and Start" function in
Section 2), 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 3 on the switch 2 light up.
After the engine is switched off, indi-
cator light 3 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 3 on
switch 2 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 selec-
tor lever to position P and
switching off the engine.
This is because when the vehicle is
stationary with the engine running
and a gear engaged, the vehicle
may begin to move.
There is a risk of accidents.If no lights or sounds are ap-
parent, this indicates a fault
in the instrument panel. This
indicates that it is essential
to stop immediately (as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow). Ensure that the
vehicle is correctly immobilised and
contact an approved Dealer.
In the event of message
“Electric failure DANGER”
or “Check battery”, manu-
ally activate the electronic
parking brake by pulling switch 2 (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.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (5/10)
If the driver depresses the brake pedal
and the system still detects a risk of col-
lision, the brake force is increased.
If the driver fails to react following
an alert of an imminent collision, the
system activates the brakes.
Active emergency braking
Using the sensor 1, the system calcu-
lates the distance separating the vehi-
cle from the one in front and alerts the
driver if there is a risk of a front-end col-
lision. The driver can then brake the ve-
hicle to limit the damage arising from a
collision.
Note: Make sure that the sensor 1 is
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
Operation
When driving (speed between 18.6 and
93 mph (30 and 150 km/h), if there is a
risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
depending on the vehicle:
– the warning light
 is displayed
in red on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by a beep;
or
– the indicator 2 is displayed in red on
the instrument panel and, depending
on the vehicle, on the head up dis- play, accompanied by a beep.
The system only detects vehicles
driving in the same direction of traf-
fic. The system cannot detect mo-
torcycles because of the difficulty in
forecasting their trajectory.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (5/7)Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 5: 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.
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.
Please note that you must
keep your feet close to the
pedals in order to react in
an emergency.
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate to reach this
threshold.
Under certain conditions (coming up
behind a vehicle moving much more
slowly, rapid change of lane of vehi-
cles in front etc.), the system may not
have time to respond and may emit a
beep alongside alert D when situations
require the driver’s attention, or alert E
when situations require immediate
action from the driver.
React accordingly and perform the ap-
propriate manoeuvres.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/5)
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
The system detects obstacles to the
front, the rear and the sides of the ve-
hicle.
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
The parking distance control system
does not take into account towing and
load carrying systems etc.
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no small, narrow moving obstacles
(such as a child, animal, pushchair,
bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind
spot when manoeuvring.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-
cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by
dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Operation
Most objects located less near the
front, rear and sides of the vehicle are
detected.
Depending on the distance of the ob-
stacle, the frequency of the beep will
be higher while approaching it, and will
become a solid beep around 20 cm for
obstacles to the sides, and 30 cm for
obstacles to the front or rear. Green,
orange and red zones will be displayed
on the display C.
