Mileage before service
Distance remaining until the next oil change.
There are several scenarios:
– distance less than 900 miles (1,500 km). It appears on the display for approxi -
mately 8 seconds when the ignition is switched on as soon as the distance is
less than or equal to 900 miles (1,500 km).
– distance less than 0 miles/km. The
© indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.
NB: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies according to the driving style (frequent driving at low
speed, door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trailer etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change
can therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distan\
ce travelled.
The oil change intervals are independent of the vehicle’s maintenance schedule: please refer to your vehicle’s Maintenance
Document.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before an oil change, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 sec-
onds until the display shows the mileage permanently.

Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the message “ Check antipollution
system” is displayed on the instrument
panel accompanied by the
Ä and
© warning lights; consult an ap -
proved dealer straight away.
v ehicle with particle filter
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “fuel tank” in Section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid faults in icy weather:
– Ensure that the battery is always
fully charged;
– always keep the diesel tank rela -
tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub -
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.

Pull the lever up slightly, press button 1

with an incorrectly released handbrake.
to apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.

Depending on the slope
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary to apply the
brake by an additional two
notches and to engage a gear (1st
or reverse) for manual vehicles.
Make sure that the hand -
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over -
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– ABS (anti-lock braking system);
– electronic stability program (eSP)
with understeer control and trac -
tion control (ASR);
– emergency brake assist.
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).
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
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:
– If indicator lights
x and © light up on the instrument panel,
braking is still operational but
without ABS;
– If indicator lights
x, û,
© and D are displayed on
the instrument panel when driving,
this indicates there is a fault with
the braking system and ABS.
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 perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front).

electronic stability program
(eSP) with understeer control
and traction control (ASR)
Warning light  on the instrument
panel flashes when the function starts
operating. electronic Stability Program (eSP)
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.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding). t
raction control (ASR)
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.

emergency brake assist
This is an additional system to ABS
which helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the brak-
ing assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger ABS
regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is not released.
hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel -
eration.
DRIvING coRRectIoN DevIce (continued)
Special note on vehicles with a
Quickshift gearbox
When driving on some roads with low
surface grip (grass, snow, mud, etc.),
the system may reduce the engine
output to limit wheelspin. If this is not
required, it is recommended to switch
to manual mode on the Quickshift gear-
box (using the gear lever).
operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the warning lights
 and
© appear on the instrument panel.
In this situation, ESP and ASR are de-
activated.
Consult an approved dealer.

Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelera -
tor pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).
v arying the limit speed
You can vary the limit speed by press-
ing switch 2 (+) repeatedly to increase
the speed or switch 3 (-) to decrease it.
exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any moment. To do this: depress
the accelerator pedal firmly and fully
(beyond the kickdown point).
Whilst the speed is being exceeded,
the cruising speed displayed on the in-
strument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator pedal:
the speed limiter function will return as
soon as you reach a speed lower than
the stored speed. limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limit speed: the memorised speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa
-
tion display to inform you of this situ -
ation.
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.
