back to the Stop position.
Starting the engine
Engine warm or cold
– Turn the key to the start position
without depressing the accel-
erator.
– release the key as soon as the

Special note: when starting the
engine in very low exterior temper-
atures (below -10°C) hold down the
clutch pedal until the engine starts.
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/2)
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as airbags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.

– the engine temperature is too low;
– the emission control system is being regenerated;
– ...
Warning light
 is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
engine standby is not available.
FUNCTION STOP AND START (3/4)
Conditions preventing the
standby of the engine
Certain conditions prevent the system
from using the engine standby function,
including when:
– reverse gear is engaged;
– the bonnet is not locked;
– the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 35 °C);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the difference between the vehicle interior temperature and the auto-
matic climate control instruction is
too high;
– for vehicles with automatic gear- boxes, the gradient is steeper than
approximately 5%;
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see “Automatic Climate
Control” in Section 3);
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
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 35 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see “Automatic Climate
Control” in Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the vehicle speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h) (downhill slope, etc.); ;
– repeated pressing on the brake pedal or braking system require-
ment;
– ...
Special note: for some of these
conditions, automatic restarting of
the engine is deactivated if a front
door or the tailgate is open.

2.26
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS);
– electronic stability control (ESC) with understeer control, traction
control and assistance with side
winds;
– emergency brake assist;
– hill start assistance.Operating faults:
–
© and x come on on the
instrument panel: ABS, ESC and
emergency brake assist are deacti-
vated. Braking is always enabled;
–
x, D, © and ®
come on on the instrument panel:
this indicates a fault in the brak-
ing system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)
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 per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. It is still essential to
follow the rules of good driving practice
(such as driving at a safe distance from
the vehicle in front etc.).
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/4)
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.
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 vigi-
lance or responsibility of the driver
when manoeuvring the vehicle (the
driver must always be ready for
sudden incidents which may occur
when driving).
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.
Your braking systems
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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/4)
Operation
With gear lever 1 in position P, start the
engine.
To move out of that position, you must
depress the brake pedal (the
c warn-
ing light on the display 4 comes on)
before pressing the unlocking button 2.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light
c in display 4 goes
out), move the lever out of position P.

Selector lever 1
P: park
R: reverse
N: neutral
D: automatic mode
M: manual mode
3: zone displaying gearbox mode or
gear engaged in manual mode
Note: press button 2 to go from position
D or N to R or P.
43
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-
leased.

2.45
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.
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.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/4)

2.46
Breakdown of a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
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.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4/4)
Operating faults
When three horizontal bars on the dis-
play 3 come on accompanied by the
warning light
© or ®, this in-
dicates a gearbox fault. Contact an au-
thorised dealer as soon as possible. To do this, unclip the base of the gear
lever
5 starting on the side below the
air conditioning controls. Then raise the
button 6 and simultaneously press the
unlock button 2 on the lever.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

ately after it has rained or immedi-
ately after washing the vehicle.
– vehicle with roof bars: Generally, it is not advisable to oper-
ate the sunroof.
Before using the sunroof, check the
objects and/or accessories (bike
racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to
the roof bars: they should be prop-
erly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the opera-
tion of the sunroof.
Contact an authorised dealer for de-
tails of possible conversions.
Operating faults
If the roof will not close, please consult
an authorised dealer.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the key in the ignition
and leaving a child, an adult
who is not self-sufficient or a pet
inside, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
If something gets caught, immedi-
ately reverse the direction of travel
by pressing the switch 1 on side
\.
