the message “Braking system fault”:
this indicates a fault in the braking
system.
In both cases, consult an approved
dealer.
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.Warning light ® re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Switch off the engine and do
not restart it. Contact an approved

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/5)
Electronic stability control
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 the direction se-
lected by the driver and the actual di-
rection of the vehicle and corrects this
as necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the engine
power. If the system is triggered, the
 indicator light flashes on the in-
strument panel. 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.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© and  appear
on the instrument panel.
In this case, the ESC and traction con-
trol system are deactivated. Consult an
authorised dealer.

2.44
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (5/7)
Conditions for non-activation
of the system
The system cannot be activated:
– when the gear lever is in neutral;
– when the parking brake is activated;
– while cornering.
As a general rule, if the driver shows
signs of attention (action on the steering
wheel, pedals etc.), the system delays
its operation or does not activate.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
\b warning light lights up
on the instrument panel, with the mes-
sage “Active braking disconnected”.
Consult an approved dealer
Temporarily not available
When the system detects a tempo-
rary unavailability, the
\b warning
light lights up on the instrument panel
accompanied by the message “Active
braking: sensor blind” or, depending on
the vehicle, “Radar-camera: no visibil-
ity”.
The possible causes are:
– the system is temporarily blinded (glare from the sun, dipped beam
headlights, bad weather conditions
etc.). The system will be operational
again when visibility conditions are
better.
– The system is temporarily disrupted (for example: windscreen obscured
by dirt, ice, snow etc.). In this case,
park the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Clean the windscreen. When
you next start the engine, the warn-
ing light and the message go out.
– If this is not the case, this may arise from another cause; contact an
Approved Dealer.

Operation
When the function is activated, the cor-
rection indicators 3 for the left and right
lines are displayed in grey on the instru-
ment panel.
The function is set to react if:
– speed is between about 43.4 mph (70 km/h) and 99.2 mph (160 km/h);
and
– the correction indicators 3 are green.
The function reacts if the vehicle ap-
proaches or crosses a line without ac-
tivation of the indicator lights. In these
cases:
– the function triggers corrective action on the vehicle’s steering system and
trajectory;
– the indicator 3 on the same side as
the crossed side line turns orange on
the instrument panel.
Note: on bends, the function allows for
slightly cutting the bend.
The function is deactivated by de-
fault every time the engine is started.
You can retake control of the ve-
hicle at any time by operating the
steering wheel.
When Lane Keeping Assist is activated,
the “Lane Departure Warning” function
is automatically activated (please refer
to the information on “Lane Departure
Warning” in Section 2).

Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the mes-
sage “Check blind spot alert” is dis-
played on the instrument panel. Consult
an approved dealer.
Note: when the engine is started, the
indicator light 6, display B , flashes
three times. It is normal.
– The system’s detection
range operates according
to a standard lane width. If
you are driving in wide traf-
fic lanes, the system might not
be able to detect a vehicle in the
blind spot.
– The system might be disrupted momentarily if it is exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves
(as beneath high-tension power
lines) or to very poor weather
conditions (heavy rain, snow
etc.). Remain aware of driving
conditions.
There is a risk of accidents.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (4/4)
Because sensors have
been installed in the bump-
ers, any work (repairs, re-
placements, touching up of
paintwork) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.

SAFE DISTANCE ALERT (1/3)
Activating/deactivating the
function
From the multifunction screen 2, select
menu “Vehicle”, “Driving assistance”,
“Distance warning” then choose “ON”
or “OFF”.
Using the information from the radar-
camera
1, this function informs the
driver of the time interval between him
and the vehicle in front so that a safe
stopping distance between the two ve-
hicles can be maintained.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not
obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-
tion etc.).
The function is activated when the ve-
hicle speed is between about 18.6 and
124 mph (30 and 200 km/h).
When the engine is started, the func-
tion maintains the same status that was
active when the engine was last stop-
ped.
You can access menu “Driving as-
sistance” directly from button 3

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (4/8)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
When exceeding this speed, the cruis-
ing speed and the following bars show
red and the cruising speed flashes on
the instrument panel: the distance con-
trol function is no longer activated.
Then, release the accelerator: cruise
and distance control will automatically
reactivate unless the function has been
set to standby.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if:
– you press switch 4 (O);
– you depress the brake pedal;
– you depress the clutch pedal;
– you use the gear lever;
– the engine speed is too low or too high;
– the vehicle speed is lower than 24.8 mph (40 km/h) or over
105.4 mph (170 km/h);
– certain driver correction devices and aids are triggered (ABS, ESC, etc.)
In the latter two cases, the message
“Adaptive cruise ct disconnected” is
displayed on the instrument panel when
the function is set to standby.
Standby is confirmed by the display of
the cruising speed in grey and the mes-
sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”. Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road con-
ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch
3 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above around 30 mph (50 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled,
activation of the cruise control is con-
firmed by the illumination of the cruis-
ing speed in green, along with the mes-
sage “Adaptive cruise ctrl”.
When the cruise control is set to
standby, pressing switch 2, side a (+),
reactivates the cruise control function
without taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the vehi-
cle is moving that is taken into account.

Switching off the function
The cruise control function is stopped if
you press switch 5 on the
 side; 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.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (6/8)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “Check cruise con-
trol” appears on the instrument panel.
There are two possibilities:
– the system is temporarily disrupted (for example: radar obscured by
dirt, mud, snow etc.). In this case,
park the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Clean the detection zone of
the radar. When you next start the
engine, the warning light and the
message go out;
– otherwise, this may be caused by another fault. Consult an approved
dealer
