Power Assisted Steering
Never drive with an inadequately
charged battery.
Variable power assisted
steering
The variable power assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier when ma-
noeuvring (for added comfort) while the
force needed to steer increases pro-
gressively as the speed rises (for en-
hanced safety at high speeds).
Steering wheel height
adjustment
Lower the lever 1 and place the steer-
ing wheel in the required position; raise
the lever beyond the point of resistance
to lock the steering wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
1
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.
Never leave the steering wheel at
full lock while stationary.

graph on “Stop and Start Function” in
Section 2.
Mode warning light ECO
This comes on when ECO
mode is activated.
Please refer to the information on
“Driving advice, Eco-driving” in
Section 2.
ÒElectronic fault warning light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it comes on when driving, this indi-
cates a fault in the injection computer.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.
Š‰Gear change indicator.
This lights up to advise you to
change to a higher gear (up arrow) or
lower gear (down arrow).
\bTyre pressure loss warning
Please refer to the information
on the “Tyre pressure loss warning” in
Section 2.
The display of information shown below DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT \
AND COUNTRY.
UVariable power-assisted
steering warning light
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it lights up when you are driving, this
indicates a fault in the system. Consult
an approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble.

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.
