ASSISTED PARKING

(3/4)

Your speed should not exceed around

4 mph (7 km/h).

Once in position to exit the space, the

system will notify you of the end of the

manoeuvre.

Once the warning light



on the

instrument panel goes off and a beep

sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-

pleted.

Suspending the manoeuvre

The manoeuvre is suspended in the fol-

lowing circumstances:

– you take control of the wheel;

– a door or the boot is opened;

– the vehicle is at a standstill for too

long;

– an obstacle in the direction of move-

ment prevents the manoeuvre from

being completed;

– the engine will stop.

Once the warning light



on the

instrument panel goes off and a beep

sounds, the manoeuvre has been sus-

pended. Then to resume the manoeu-

vre, press and hold the system activa-

tion switch.

In this case, the reason for suspending

the manoeuvre will be displayed on the

multifunction screen.
Make sure:

– you have released the steering wheel

and;

– that all doors and the boot are closed,

and;

– that no obstacles are in the way of

the direction of movement, and;

– that the engine is started.

Cancelling the manoeuvre

The manoeuvre can be stopped in the

following cases:

– by pressing the system activation

switch;

– the vehicle speed has exceeded

4 mph (7 km/h);

– You have performed more than ten

forwards/backwards movements in

one manoeuvre;

– the parking distance control sensors

are dirty or blocked;

– the vehicle wheels have skidded.

Once the warning light



on the

instrument panel goes off and a beep

sounds, the manoeuvre has been

ended.

Exiting a parallel parking space
– Select “exit parallel parking space”

mode;

– activate the direction indicator on the

side you wish to go out of;

– press and hold switch 1 (around

2 seconds).

Warning light



lights up on the in-

strument panel, along with a beep.

– release the steering wheel;

– go forwards and backwards using

the parking distance control system

alerts.

2.77

ASSISTED PARKING

(4/4)

This function is an additional driving aid. However, 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.
Make sure that the manoeuvre complies with the applicable traffic regulations at your location.

– The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles

(such as a child, animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeu-

vring.

– The system cannot detect objects located in the sensor blind spots.
– During manoeuvring, the steering wheel may turn quickly: do not place your hands inside the wheel, and ensure nothing is

located in this space.

– Always visually check that the parking space proposed by the system is still available and contains no obstacles.
– The system should be deactivated when towing a trailer.

2.78

ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION

Adaptive suspension makes it possible

to modify the suspension automatically,

according to driving conditions and to

your driving style.

Choosing a preset mode
From the menu on the multifunction

screen 1, you can select a preset driv-

ing mode.
The configuration of the suspension will

depend on the mode selected in the

“Multi-Sense” menu (please refer to the

information on “Multi-Sense” in

Section 3).

Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the system

switches automatically to the “Neutral”

mode in “Multi-Sense”.
If the message “Check Damper control”

appears on the instrument panel, con-

sult an authorised dealer.

2.79

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

(1/3)

Operation

With the selection lever 1 in position P,

switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must de-

press the brake pedal before pressing

the unlocking button 2.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light

on the display 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
R: reverse
N: Neutral
D: automatic mode
M: manual mode
+: upper gear
–: lower gear
The gear engaged is displayed on the

instrument panel B and on the dis-

play A.
Note: Press button 2 to go from posi-

tion D or N to R or P.

Driving in automatic mode

Put lever 1 into position D.
In most road conditions you will en-

counter, you will not need to touch your

lever again: the gears will change au-

tomatically at the right time and at the

most suitable engine speed because

the automatic system takes into ac-

count the vehicle load and road contour

and adjusts itself to the particular driv-

ing 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.

2.80

The gear selected is displayed on the

instrument panel.

Special cases

In certain driving conditions (result-

ing in, for example, engine protection,

operation of the Electronic Stability

Control programme: ESC, etc.) the au-

tomated 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.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

(2/3)

Driving in manual mode

Move the selector lever 1 to position D,

then move the lever to the left into po-

sition M.

Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you

to change gears manually:

– to move down through the gears,

push the lever forwards;

– to move up through the gears, push

the lever backwards.

When facing uphill, to remain

stopped, do not keep your foot on

the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic

gearbox.

Check that warning light P

on the instrument panel and

the warning light integrated

on the button 2 are acti-

vated before leaving the vehicle.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the

vehicle

Special circumstances

– If the bends and road surface do

not allow you to stay in automatic

mode (e.g. in the mountains), we

recommend that you change to

manual mode. This will prevent the

automatic gearbox from changing

gear repeatedly when climbing, and

permit engine braking on long de-

scents.

– In cold weather, start the engine

and wait a few seconds before

moving the selector lever from posi-

tion P or N and engaging it in D or R

to prevent the engine stalling.

2.81

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

(3/3)

Operating faults

– when driving, if the message

"CHECK AUTO GEARBOX" ap-

pears on the instrument panel, it in-

dicates a failure.
Contact your approved Dealer as

soon as possible;

– when driving, if the message

"Gearbox overheating" appears on

the instrument panel, stop as soon

as possible to let the gearbox cool

down and wait for the message to

disappear;

– If a vehicle with an automatic

gearbox breaks down, refer to the

information on “Towing” in Section 5.

For safety reasons, do not

switch off the ignition before

the vehicle has come to a

complete standstill.

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.
Ensure that the electronic parking

brake is engaged.

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.

When setting off, if the lever is locked in

position P even though you are press-

ing the brake pedal, the lever can be

released manually. To do this, unclip

the flap 3, then insert a tool (with a hard

rod to it) into the hole 4 and press the

button 2 at the same time in order to

unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon

as possible.

Automatic mode

The automatic climate control system

guarantees comfort in the passen-

ger compartment and good visibility

(except in the event of extreme condi-

tions), while optimising consumption.

The system controls the ventilation

speed, air distribution, air recirculation,

and starting and stopping the air condi-

tioning and air temperature.
This mode consists of a choice of three

programmes:
NORMAL : allows the selected comfort

level to be best attained, depending on

the exterior conditions. Press button 4

or key 9.
SOFT: reaches the desired comfort

level more gently and silently. Press

button 8.
FAST: increases the flow of air in the

passenger compartment. This mode

is recommended in particular to opti-

mise comfort in the rear seats. Press

button 10.

3.7

Varying the ventilation speed

In automatic mode, the system uses

the most suitable amount of air to reach

and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation speed

by pressing buttons 11 or 18 or by slid-

ing your finger in zone 20.
Depending on the vehicle, the ventila-

tion speed, which is no longer control-

led automatically, appears in zone 20

and zone 14.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL: Controls A

(2/5)

Temperature adjustment

There are two types of settings:

– uniform passenger compartment

setting;

– DUAL function setting to independ-

ently adjust the left and right sides.

Uniform passenger compartment

setting

Use control 7.

DUAL function setting

Press button 15 to activate. Use con-

trol 7 to adjust the left side and control 2

for the right side.

The displayed temperature values

show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-

ing or decreasing the value dis-

played will not allow the com-

fort level to be reached any more

quickly. The system will always op-

timise the temperature increase or

decrease (the ventilation system

does not start instantly at maximum

speed: it gradually increases). This

may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is

a particular reason not to, the dash-

board air vents should remain open.

Note: The air conditioning configura-

tion depends on the mode selected on

the “Multi-Sense” menu (please refer

to the information in “Multi-Sense” in

Section 3).
