A

2.4
Warning light  is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
The engine will restart as soon as you
press the clutch pedal and move into
gear.
STOP AND START function (1/3)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
System operating conditionsEngine standby is activated if:
– the vehicle has been driven since its last stop;
– the gearbox is in neutral;
– the clutch pedal is released;
and
– the vehicle is travelling at less than 3 km/h. Special feature of the automatic
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine
can restart on its own in order to guar-
antee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
– the outdoor temperature is too low or
too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see the information on “Air
conditioning” in Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the vehicle speed is above 7 km/h (downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake pedal or braking system require-
ment;
– ...
Special note: when opening the pas-
senger side door, some of these condi-
tions prevent the engine from automati-
cally restarting.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
Do not drive off when the
engine is on standby (warn-
ing light
 is displayed
on the instrument panel).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition (please see
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”).

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 gearbox.
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 an 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.

2.11
Driving advice and ECO
driving
Behaviour
– 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.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an- ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same 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 declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.

2.19
Electronic stability control
(ESC) with understeer
control, traction control and
assistance with side winds
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.).
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 driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
 flashes on the instrument panel.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/4)
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced un-
dersteer (loss of front axle road hol-
ding).
Assistance with side winds
This system optimises the action of the
ESC and also helps to control the vehi-
cle in case of variation of side winds.
It helps maintain the vehicle trajectory
through the use of the brakes.
If the system is activated, the indicator
light
 may flash on the instrument
panel.
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
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 warning lights
© and
 appear on the instrument panel.
In this case, the ESC and traction con-
trol system are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

2.20
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
The system allows an emergency brak-
ing situation to be detected when the
brake pedal is pressed. In this case, the
braking assistance immediately devel-
ops maximum power and may trigger
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 decele-
ration.
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 trigge-
red;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the warning light
© comes
on on the instrument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving 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 responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).

2.30
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The two in-
strument panel warning lights
 and
 go out to confirm that the function is
deactivated.
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
4 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled, acti-
vation of the cruise control is confirmed
by the illumination of the
 warning
light.
NB: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– use the switch 5 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or the shift into neutral if the vehicle has an au-
tomatic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed re-
mains stored and the message “ MEM”
appears on the instrument panel.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light
 goes out.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/3)
Operation
With the gear lever 1 in position P or N,
start the engine.
To move forward, you must depress the
brake pedal before pressing the unlock-
ing button 2.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light
c in display 4 goes
out), move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-
leased.

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.
