DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS

(5/8)

Active emergency braking

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any

circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the

driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

System servicing/repairs
– In the event of an impact, the sensor alignment may become changed, and its

operation will consequently be affected. Deactivate the function, then consult

an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the radar is located (repairs, replacements, touch-

ing up of paintwork) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

In the event of system disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.) ;
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice, etc.).
Risk of inadvertent braking.

Operating faults

The warning lights



and



lit up on the instrument panel accom-

panied by the message “WARNING

AEBSCHECK” indicate a system

fault. Consult an approved dealer.
When the system detects that the func-

tion is not available, the



warn-

ing light lights up on the instrument

panel and stays on, with the message

“WARNING AEBS DISABLED”.
There are two possibilities:
– The system is temporarily disrupted

(for example: radar obscured by

dirt, mud, snow etc.). In this case,

park the vehicle and switch off the

engine. Clean the detection zone of

the radar. When you next start the

engine, the warning light and the

message go out;

– If this is not the case, this may arise

from another cause; contact an

Approved Dealer.

2.21

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS

(6/8)

Active emergency braking

Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.

– The sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the system.
– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles as effectively as to other vehicles.

Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
–  the brake lights are not functioning;
–  the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;
–  the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns).

Halting the function
You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in an

avoidance manoeuvre.
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

2.22

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS

(7/8)

Grip control

If fitted on the vehicle, grip control

makes it easier to control the vehicle on

low grip surfaces (soft ground, etc.).

“Soft ground” mode

Press switch 5: the message

“VARIABLEHIGHWAY MODE” lights up

on the instrument panel, accompanied

by the warning light



, depending

on the vehicle.

This position enables optimal usage on

soft ground (mud, sand, dead leaves,

etc.). In this position, engine speed is left

under the driver’s control. The system

automatically switches to “Road” mode

at speeds above about 31 mph

(50 km/h). The message “STANDARD

HIGHWAY MODE” is displayed on the

instrument panel and depending on the

vehicle, the



warning light on the

instrument panel goes out.

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).

“Road” mode
When the vehicle starts, the

“STANDARD HIGHWAY MODE” mes-

sage is displayed on the instrument

panel. Depending on the vehicle the

warning light



on the instrument

panel is out.

This position enables optimal usage

under normal driving conditions (dry-

ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).

“Road” mode uses traction control func-

tions.

Tyres

When they need to be re-

placed, only tyres of the

same make, size, type and

profile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle should

either be identical to those fitted

originally or conform to those

recommended by your approved

dealer.

2.23

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS

(8/8)

Hill start assistance

Depending on the gradient of the in-

cline, this system assists the driver

when starting on a hill. It prevents the

vehicle from rolling backwards, de-

pending on the slope, by automatically

applying the brakes when the driver

lifts his/her foot off the brake pedal to

depress the accelerator pedal.

System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is

in a position other than neutral and the

vehicle is completely stationary (brake

pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-

proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are

then gradually released (the vehicle will

move according to the slope).

The hill start assistance

system cannot completely

prevent the vehicle from

rolling backwards in all sit-

uations (extremely steep gradients

etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress

the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-

cle from rolling backwards.
The hill start assistance function

should not be used for prolonged

stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-

mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to

stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly

vigilant when driving on slippery or

low-grip surfaces.
Risk of serious injury.

2.24

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING

(1/3)

When fitted to the vehicle, this system

notifies the driver if one or more tyres

lose pressure.

Operating principle

Each wheel (except for the emergency

spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-

tion valve which periodically measures

the tyre pressure while driving.

Warning light



1 comes on to

alert the driver in the event of insuffi-

cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-

tured tyre, etc.).

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid.
However, the function does

not take the place of the

driver. It cannot, therefore, under

any circumstances replace the vig-

ilance or the responsibility of the

driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including

the emergency spare wheel, once a

month.

Resetting the standard level

for the tyre pressures

This should be done:

– when the standard tyre pressure

needs to be changed to adapt to

usage conditions (empty, carrying a

load, motorway driving, etc.);

– after swapping a wheel (however

this practice is not recommended);

– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking

the tyre pressure of all four tyres when

cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the

current usage of the vehicle (empty,

carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).

2.25

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING

(2/3)

Note:

The standard tyre pressure cannot be

less than that recommended and indi-

cated on the door frame.

Display

Display 2 on the instrument panel in-

forms you of any tyre pressure faults

(flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).

“CHECK TYRE PRESSURES”

Warning light



comes on, along

with the message “CHECK TYRE

PRESSURES”.
These indicate that at least one tyre is

flat.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the

pressures of the four wheels when cold.

The warning light



goes off after a

few minutes’ driving.

“TYRE PUNCTURE”

The warning light



comes on

steady, accompanied by the message

“TYRE PUNCTURE” and a beep.
This message appears along with the

warning light.

They indicate that at least one wheel

is punctured or severely underinflated.

Replace it or contact an approved

dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre

pressure if the wheel is deflated.

Warning light

re-

quires you to stop immedi-

ately, for your own safety,

as soon as traffic conditions

allow.

Resetting procedure

With the ignition on:

– repeatedly press button 3 or 4 to

select the “TYRE PRESSURE

ACQUISITION” function on the dis-

play 2;

– press and hold (around 3 sec-

onds) button 3 or 4 to start initiali-

sation. Display of the message “TP

ACQUISTION LAUNCHED” indi-

cates that the reset request for the

tyre pressure reference value has

been taken into account.

Reinitialisation is carried out after a few

minutes’ driving.

The sudden loss of pressure in a

tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-

tected by the system.

2.26

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING

(3/3)

“CHECK TYRE SENSORS”

The warning light



flashes for

several seconds, then stays on, along

with the message “CHECK TYRE

SENSORS”.
This message appears along with the

warning light.

They indicate that at least one tyre is

not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency

spare wheel). Otherwise, consult an

authorised dealer.

Readjustment of tyre

pressures

The tyre pressures must be adjusted

when cold (please refer to the label lo-

cated on the edge of the driver’s door).

If tyre pressures cannot be checked

when the tyres are cold, the recom-

mended pressures must be increased

by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.

Replacing wheels/tyres

This system requires specific equip-

ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).

Please see the information on “Tyres”

in Section 5.
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new

tyres and to find out about available ac-

cessories compatible with the system

and available from your dealer net-

work: the use of any other accessory

could affect the correct operation of the

system or damage a sensor.

Emergency spare wheel

If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-

gency spare wheel, it will not have a

sensor. When it is fitted on the vehicle,

the warning light



flashes for sev-

eral seconds, then stays on, together
with the warning light

and the

message “CHECK TYRE SENSORS”

appears on the instrument panel.

Tyre repair product and

inflation kit

Because the valves are specially de-

signed, only use equipment approved

by the approved network. Please refer

to “Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.

Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-

eral minutes depending on

use for the new wheel pres-

sures to be recognised; check the

tyre pressures after all operations.

2.27

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

(1/3)

Using information from the camera 1,

the function warns the driver if he

crosses a continuous or broken line

without activating the direction indica-

tor lights.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not

obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-

tion, etc.).

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any

circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the

driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
The lane departure warning function does not correct the vehicle’s

trajectory.

SPEED LIMITER

(1/3)

The speed limiter function helps you

stay within the driving speed limit that

you choose, known as the limit speed.

Controls

1 Limit speed activation, memorisation

and increase switch (+).

2 Decrease limit speed (-).

3 Switch the function to standby (with

limit speed memorisation (O)).

4 Activation and recall of memorised

limit speed (R).

5 Main “On/Off” switch.

Switching on

Press the side switch 5



. The warn-

ing light 6

comes on, lit orange, and the

message “SPEED LIMITER” appears

on the instrument panel, accompanied

by dashes to indicate that the speed

limiter is activated and waiting to store

a speed limit.

To memorise the current speed, press

switch 1 (+): the minimum speed which

can be memorised is 20 mph (30 km/ h).

2.31

SPEED LIMITER

(2/3)

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed

at any moment. To do this: press the

accelerator pedal firmly and fully

(beyond the kickdown point).
Whilst the speed is being exceeded,

the limit speed displayed on the instru-

ment panel flashes.
Then, as far as is possible, release

the accelerator pedal: the speed lim-

iter function will return as soon as you

reach a speed lower than the memo-

rised speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

limit speed: the memorised speed will

flash on the instrument panel informa-

tion display to inform you of this situ-

ation.

The speed limiter function is

in no way linked to the brak-

ing system.

Driving

When a limited speed has been stored

and this speed is not reached, driving is

similar to driving a vehicle without the

speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored

speed, no effort on the accelera-

tor pedal will allow you to exceed

the programmed speed except in an

emergency (refer to information on

“Exceeding the limit speed”).

Varying the limit speed

The limit speed may be changed by re-

peatedly pressing:
– switch 1 (+) to increase speed;
– switch 2 (-) to reduce speed.

2.32

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been memorised, it can

be recalled by pressing switch 4 (R).

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is deacti-

vated when you press switch 5. In this

case, the speed is no longer memo-

rised. The instrument panel orange in-
dicator light



goes out, confirming

that the function is deactivated.

SPEED LIMITER

(3/3)

Putting the function on

standby

The speed limiter function is deacti-

vated when you press switch 3 (O). In

this case, the speed limit remains stored

and the message “SPEED MEMORY”,

accompanied by this speed, appears

on the instrument panel.

When the speed limiter is set to

standby, pressing switch 1 (+) re-

activates the function without taking

into account the memorised speed:

it is the speed at which the vehicle

is moving that is taken into account.

2.33

CRUISE CONTROL

(1/4)

The cruise control function helps you to

maintain your driving speed at a speed

that you choose, called the cruising

speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any

speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid. The func-

tion does not take the place

of the driver.

Therefore, it can under no circum-

stances replace the driver’s respon-

sibility to respect speed limits and to

be vigilant (the driver must always

be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in

heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-

pery roads (black ice, aquaplan-

ing, gravel) and during bad weather

(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.

Controls

1 Cruising speed activation, storage

and increase switch (+).

2 Cruising speed decrease switch (-).

3 Switch the function to standby (with

stored cruising speed) (O).
