and then lower the lever to the floor.
To apply:
Pull the lever

the vehicle is immobilised.
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 transmission.

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 the rear 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.

Advice: antipollution and fuel economy
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life which will come
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac-
turer is actively striving to reduce pol-
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained and used correctly.Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to
optimise consumption, an indicator light
on the instrument panel will inform you
of the best moment to upshift or down-
shift gears:
\ shift up a gear;
[ shift down a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to
respect antipollution regulations could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu-
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations. Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– ignition:
this does not require ad-
justment.
–

spark
plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle’s
engine. Contact an approved dealer
for this.
–

i
dle: this does not require adjust-
ment.
–

air
filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-
ment reduces performance. It must
be replaced.

– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
–

Brake

ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.

speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
–

Double

in modern vehicles.
–

Bad weather
, flooded roads:
Do not drive through floods
if the water is above the
lower edge of the wheel
rims.Driving– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.

Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
–

If

it lights up continuously, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
–

if

it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats adapted to the ve-
hicle that attach to the pre-
installed parts, and regularly check
their mounting. Do not place several
mats on top of each other.

This system monitors the tyre pressure.
Depending on the vehicle, the infor-
mation is displayed on the instrument
panel. In this case, they appear:

ing system information by pressing

(refer to the information
on the “trip computer and warning
system” in Section 1);
–

o
r if there is a fault when driving
(refer to the following pages to find
out more about the warning mes-
sages).
Tyre pressure monitor
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
TyRE PRESSURE MONITOR (1/3)
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver via the
display
1

and trip computer and warn-
ing system
2

that the tyres are suf-
ficiently inflated and warns if they are
underinflated or leaking.
The tyre pressure can be adjusted
when cold (refer to the information on
“Tyre pressures”).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Changing a wheel
If you wish to change your wheels (fit-
ting winter tyres etc.), the system will
reset itself automatically after approx-
imately two minutes driving at a mini-
mum speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
12
Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel po-
sitions and pressures to be recog-
nised; check the tyre pressures after
all operations.

Traction control (A.S.R.) offers addi-
tional safety; it is recommended that
you do not drive with the function disa-
bled. Correct this as soon as possible
by pressing 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.
b

raking 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/AIDS (3/4)
Disabling the A.S.R. function
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.

Automatic gearbox
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/3)
Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic con-
ditions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
