ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (7/7)
Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert\
or any action on the system operation.
– The sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in or\
der to ensure the proper operation of the
system.
– Fixed obstacles (stationary vehicles, traffic jams, toll booths etc.) or objects travelling at low speed or of a \
small size ( motor-
bikes, bicycles, pedestrians etc.) may not be detected by the system.
– A vehicle entering the same lane will only be detected once it has entere\
d the detection zone. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– When entering a bend or curve, the sensor may temporarily no longer dete\
ct the vehicle in front, and this may lead to acce- leration.
– When exiting a curve, the detection of the vehicle in front may be affected or delayed. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– A slower vehicle travelling in an adjacent lane may be detected and cause\
a slowing down if one of the two vehicles is trav- elling too close to the lane of the other.
– The system is deactivated below around 20 mph (40 km/h). Drivers must \
react accordingly.
– Sudden changes in situation are not instantly taken into account by the \
system. Drivers must remain vigilant at all times and
under all circumstances.
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
– traffic is heavy;
– the vehicle is travelling in a tunnel;
– the vehicle is travelling on a windy road;
– the vehicle is travelling on a slippery road or in poor weather conditio\
ns (fog, snow, rain, side winds etc.).
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

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.).

Choice of manoeuvre
The system can perform four types of
manoeuvres:
– parallel parking;
– perpendicular parking;
– angle parking;
– moving out of a parallel parking space.
From the multifunction screen, select
the manoeuvre to be performed.
Note: When starting the vehicle, or
after successfully completed parallel
parking using the system, the default
manoeuvre proposed by the system is
assistance in exiting a parallel parking
space. In other cases, the default ma-
noeuvre can be set from the multifunc-
tion screen.
ASSISTED PARKING (2/4)
Operation
Parking
As long as the vehicle speed is less
than 20 mph (30 km/h), the system
looks for available parking spaces on
both sides of the vehicle.
Once a space has been found, it is dis-
played on the multifunction screen, indi-
cated by a small letter “P”. Drive slowly,
with the indicators activated on the side
of the space, until the message “Stop”
is displayed, alongside a beep.
The space is then indicated on the mul-
tifunction screen by a capital “P”.
– Stop the vehicle;
– select reverse gear.
Warning light
lights up on the in-
strument panel, along with a beep.
– release the steering wheel;
– follow the system instructions pro- vided on the multifunction screen. Your speed should not exceed around 4
mph (7 km/h).
Once the warning light
on the
instrument panel goes off and a beep
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.

2.77
ASSISTED PARKING (3/4)
Your speed should not exceed around
4 mph (7 km/h).
Once in position to exit the space, the
system will notify you of the end of the
manoeuvre.
Once the warning light
on the
instrument panel goes off and a beep
sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-
pleted.
Suspending the manoeuvreThe manoeuvre is suspended in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
– you take control of the wheel;
– a door or the boot is opened;
– the vehicle is at a standstill for too long;
– an obstacle in the direction of move- ment prevents the manoeuvre from
being completed;
– the engine will stop.
Once the warning light
on the
instrument panel goes off and a beep
sounds, the manoeuvre has been sus-
pended. Then to resume the manoeu-
vre, press and hold the system activa-
tion switch. In this case, the reason for suspending
the manoeuvre will be displayed on the
multifunction screen.
Make sure:
– you have released the steering wheel

Label A
Open the door to read it.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are cold.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, increase the
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre. Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
monitoring system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pressure
etc.), the warning light
lights up
on the instrument panel; please refer to
«Tyre pressure monitoring system» in

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
3
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation end piece
3 to prevent any prod-
uct spatter and store the container in
plastic packaging to prevent product
leaks.
– Affix the driving recommendation label (located under the container) to
the dashboard where the driver can
see it.
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation op- eration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at be- tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended
pressure, re-adjust it (refer to the
label affixed to the edge of the driv-
er’s door), otherwise contact an ap-
proved dealer: repair is not possible.
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and may
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.
Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.

towing weight for your vehicle (refer
to the information on “Weights” in
Section 6).
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
Transport the vehicle on a trailer or tow
it with the front wheels off the ground.
In exceptional circumstances
, you
may tow it with all four wheels on the
ground, only in a forward gear, with the
gear in neutral position N over a maxi-
mum distance of 50 miles and not ex-
ceeding a speed of 15 mph (25 km/h).
