WARNING LIGHTS (2/3)
xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it does not go out after the ignition is
switched on, or lights up when driving,
there is a fault with the ABS. Braking
will then be as normal, without the ABS.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
ÄToxic Fume Filter System
Warning Light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult your approved Dealer as soon as
possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
Please refer to the information on
“Maintenance and anti-pollution advice”
in Section 2.
ßFront seat belt reminder
warning light
This lights up on the central display
when the engine is started then, if the
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt
(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened
and the vehicle has reached approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and
a beep sounds for around 2 minutes.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.
åAir bag warning light
This comes on when the igni-
tion is switched on and goes out after a
few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or comes on when the
engine is running, there is a fault in the
system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.
ÎSpeed limiter and cruise
control warning light
See the information on the “Speed lim-
iter” and “Cruise control” in Section 2.
\[Gear change indicator
This lights up to advise
you to change to a higher gear (up
arrow) or lower gear (down arrow).
Driving correction device
warning light
Refer to information on “Driver correc-
tion devices and aids” in Section 2.
MLow fuel level warning light
This comes on when the igni-
tion is switched on and goes out after a
few seconds. If it comes on when driv-
ing and is accompanied by a beep, fill
up with fuel as soon as possible. There
is only approximately 30 miles (50 km)
worth of fuel left after the warning light
first comes on. The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.

2.24
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– electronic stability control ESC
with understeer control and trac-
tion control;
– emergency brake assist with, de- pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;
– hill start assistance.
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).
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
Operating faults:
–
© and x lit on the instru-
ment panel with the messages
“Check ABS”, “Check braking
system” and “Check ESC”: ABS,
ESC and the emergency brake
assist are deactivated. Braking is
always enabled;
–
x, D, © and ® lit
up on the instrument panel alongside
the message “Braking system fault”:
this indicates a fault in the braking
system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
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 per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. 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.).

2.26
The traction control system offers ad-
ditional safety. It is recommended that
you do not drive with the function di-
sabled. Correct this as soon as pos-
sible by pressing the 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.
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 operat-
ing fault the message “Check brak-
ing system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.
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.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)
Disabling the traction control
system
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.

To remove bad odours from your ve-
hicles, only use the systems designed
for this purpose. Consult an approved
Dealer.
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.
