DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/5)
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. 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.
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.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK BRAKING
SYSTEM” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.
Driver assistance with a
trailer
This system helps to maintain control
over the vehicle while using a trailer.
It detects shaking caused by towing a
trailer under certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
– the towbar must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the harness must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the towbar must be connected to the vehicle.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
– asymmetric braking of the front wheels to reduce shaking caused by
the trailer;
– braking of all four wheels and limita- tion on engine torque to reduce the
vehicle speed until the shaking has
stopped.
Warning light
 flashes on the in-
strument panel to inform the driver.

TRANSPORTING OBJECTS towbar
Fitting the towbar coupling
ball
Position the ball within the range of
bolts 1 or 2 , to respect the height B,
which must be between 350 and
420 mm, with the vehicle laden (use the
illustration example below).
To assemble the towbar ball, please
consult the equipment assembly in-
structions.

If the towbar ball obscures the regis-
tration plate or the rear fog lights, it
should be removed when not in use.
In all cases, comply with local leg-
islation.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to provide
brake lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is
being towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer.
Never use the drive shafts or axles.
These towing points may only be used
for traction: never use them for lifting
the vehicle directly or indirectly.– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.
– Do not accelerate or brake sud- denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, do not exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition switch or the
card from the reader during
towing.

– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local leg\
islation in each country and, in particular, laid down in the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is
permitted:

– maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reach\
ed first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not ex\
ceed 48 mph (80 kph), depending on local legislation, and the tyre pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 m\
etres thereafter.
