RUNNING IN/STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (1/2)
Running in
Petrol version
For the first 600 miles (1,000 km), do
not exceed 78 mph (130 km/h) in the
highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
You may only expect top performance
from your vehicle after approximately
1,800 miles (3,000 km) .
Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for your vehi-
cle.

2.4
For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.
If the warning light
 flashes,
this means that the clutch pedal is
not sufficiently released;
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap- proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
For all vehicles:
Warning light
 on the instru-
ment panel is lit when the engine is on
standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
FUNCTION STOP AND START (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions. The system is acti-
vated 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).
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in position D, M or N;
and
– the brake pedal is depressed (suffi- ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not de- pressed;
and
– and the speed is zero for around 1 second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and
the brake pedal released.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition (please see
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”).
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.

2.5
FUNCTION STOP AND START (2/4)
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
always stop the engine (please see
“Starting, stopping the engine”).
Preventing the engine from
standing by
In certain situations, such as negotiat-
ing a crossroads for instance, it is pos-
sible to keep the engine running so as
to be ready to move off quickly.
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
Keep the vehicle stationary without
pressing too hard on the brake pedal.
For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
Keep the clutch pedal pressed right
down.
Conditions for coming out of
engine standby
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
– the brake pedal is released, position D or M engaged or,
– the brake pedal is released, position N engaged and the handbrake off, or
– the brake pedal is pressed again, with position P engaged or position
N engaged with the handbrake ap-
plied, or
– position R is engaged or,
– the accelerator pedal is pressed.
For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral and the clutch pedal is slightly depressed, or
– the engine is in gear and the clutch pedal is pressed right down.

GEAR LEVER/HANDBRAKE
Handbrake
To release:
Pull the lever 3 up slightly, press
button 2 and then lower the lever to the
floor.
The red warning light
D on the in-
strument panel will come on if you are
driving with an incorrectly released

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.

2.31
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.

Selector lever 1
P: park

N: neutral
D: automatic mode
M: manual mode

gear engaged in manual mode
43
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.

2.37
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in auto-
matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and en-
gaging D or R.
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears, push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, electronic stability
program (ESP) operational etc.: ESC))
the automatic system may change the
gear automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
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.

Please refer to the information on
“Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P, even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal and pressing
the unlocking button 2, the lever can
still be released manually.
