All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as much torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 50 km/h (31 mph))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 120 km/h (75 mph))
WARNI NG
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
Deactivation
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" position.
NOTIC E
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine or of the brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.These systems are reactivated automatically from 50 km/h (31 mph) and whenever the ignition is switched on.
WARNI NG
RecommendationsYour vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to occasionally drive on other less passable terrain.However, it does not permit off-road driving such as:– crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the underbody or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones in particular,– driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip,– crossing a stream.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces (e.g. gravel, mud).This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of control of the vehicle when descending, whether going forward or in reverse.During a descent, the system assists the driver in maintaining a constant speed, depending on the gear engaged, while progressively releasing the brakes.
NOTIC E
For the system to activate, the gradient must be greater than 5%.The system can be used with the gearbox in neutral.Otherwise, engage a gear corresponding to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.With an automatic gearbox, the system can be used with the selector at N, D or R.
WARNI NG
When the system is regulating, the Active Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.

NOTIC E
The system is no longer available if the speed of the vehicle is:– Above 70 km/h (43 mph).– Managed by the Adaptive Cruise Control, depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.
► To select the system, at speeds below 50 km/h (31 mph), press this button until its lamp lights up; this indicator lamp appears in green in the instrument panel.The system becomes active at speeds below 30 km/h (19 mph).
► When the vehicle begins its descent, the driver can release the accelerator and brake pedals; the system regulates the speed:– If the gearbox is in first or second gear, the speed decreases and the indicator lamp flashes rapidly,– If the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and the indicator lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the maintained descent speed is lower.On a downward slope, with the vehicle stationary, if the driver releases the accelerator and brake pedals, the system will release the brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion.The brake lamps light up automatically when the system is regulating.If the speed exceeds 30 km/h (19 mph), regulation is paused automatically, the indicator lamp goes back to grey in the instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in the button remains on.Regulation resumes automatically when the speed falls below 30 km/h (19 mph) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal again at any time.
Switching off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel also goes off.At speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph), the system is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in the button goes off.

Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.► Monitor your environment and keep your hands on the wheel to be able to react to anything that may happen any time.► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking and maintain a longer safety distance, especially in bad weather.► Stop the vehicle before performing operations that require sustained attention (e.g. settings).► During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
Important!
WARNI NG
Never leave the engine running in a closed space without sufficient ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
WARNI NG
In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23°C), let the engine run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure the correct
operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox).
WARNI NG
Never drive with the parking brake applied. Risk of overheating and damaging the braking system!
WARNI NG
Do not park the vehicle or leave the engine
running on a flammable surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even several minutes after the engine stops. Risk of fire!
WARNI NG
Never drive on surfaces covered with vegetation (tall grass, accumulation of dead leaves, crops, debris) such as a field, a country lane overgrown with bushes or a grassy verge.This vegetation could come into contact with the vehicle's exhaust system or other systems which are very hot. Risk of fire!
WARNI NG
Make sure you do not leave any item in the passenger compartment which could act like a magnifying glass under the effect of the
sun's rays and cause a fire - risk of fire or damage to interior surface!
WARNI NG
Never leave a vehicle unattended with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P (depending on the
type of gearbox).
