ßFront seat belt reminder
warning light
This comes on when the engine is
started; if the driver or front passenger
seat belt is not fastened (if this seat is
occupied) and the vehicle has reached
approximately 10 mph (15 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.
ãp assenger air bag warning
light OFF
It lights up when the ignition is switched
on and goes out after a few seconds,
unless the passenger air bag is deacti-
vated (refer to Section 1: “Deactivating
the front passenger air bags”).
INsTRUMENT p ANEL: warning lights (3/4)
åAir bag warning light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it remains lit or comes on when the
engine is running, it indicates a system
fault.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible.
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 when 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.
ûsTOp light
It switches off a few seconds
after the ignition is switched on, if it
does not light up, consult an approved
dealer. It may light up at the same time
as other warning lights, together with
a beep. It indicates that it is essential
to stop immediately (as soon as traffic
conditions allow). Contact an approved
dealer.
The presence and operation of the warning lights DEpEND ON ThE EQUIpMENT AND COUNTRY.

Driving correction devices
DRIvING coRRectIoN DevIce
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).

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.

Interior trim maintenance
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad -
visable to maintain the vehicle interior
regularly.
Stains should always be dealt with
quickly. Whatever type of stain is on
the trim, use soapy water (if possible,
warm water) containing:
Do not use detergents (washing up
liquid, powdered products, alcohol -
based products, etc.).
Use a soft cloth.
Glass instrument panel(e.g.: instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display).
Use a soft cloth or cotton wool.
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois-
tened with soapy water and then wipe
clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton
wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco -
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
Fabrics (seats, door trim,
etc.)
Dust fabrics regularly.
Liquid stains
Use soapy water. Absorb or dab lightly
(never rub) using a soft cloth, then rinse
and absorb the excess water.
Solid or thick stains
Remove any excess solid or thick ma-
terial immediately and carefully using
a spatula (from the edge inwards to
avoid spreading the stain).
Clean using the procedure for a liquid
stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
For advice on interior maintenance
and/or on unsatisfactory results,
contact an approved dealer.
