CRUISE CONTROL

(3/4)

Exceeding the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be exceeded

at any time by depressing the accelera-

tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,

the cruising speed flashes on the in-

strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a

few seconds, the vehicle will automati-

cally return to its set cruising speed.

Cruising speed cannot be

maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,

the system is unable to maintain the

cruising speed: the stored speed will

flash on the instrument panel informa-

tion display to inform you of this situ-

ation.

Adjusting the cruising speed

The cruising speed may be changed by

pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

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

remains stored and, depending on the

vehicle:

– the message “Memorised” and

stored speed are displayed on the

instrument panel.

– the stored speed is displayed be-

tween <xxx> markers on the instru-

ment panel.

Standby is confirmed when indicator
light



goes out.

2.37

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.

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.

CRUISE CONTROL

(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.

Standby is confirmed when indicator
light



goes out.

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.

2.38

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper

measure the distance between the ve-

hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by

beeps which become more frequent the

closer you come to the obstacle, until

they become a continuous beep when

the vehicle is approximately 20 to

30 centimetres from the obstacle.
The system detects obstacles to the

front, the rear and the sides of the ve-

hicle.
The parking distance control system

is only activated when the vehicle is

driven at a speed below approximately

6 mph (10 km/h).
The parking distance control system

does not take into account towing and

load carrying systems etc.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(1/4)

Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-

cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by

dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

This function is an addi-

tional aid that indicates the

distance between the vehi-

cle and an obstacle whilst

reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it

replace the driver’s care or respon-

sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready

for sudden incidents while driv-

ing: always ensure that there are

no small, narrow moving obstacles

(such as a child, animal, pushchair,

bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind

spot when manoeuvring.

2.39

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(2/4)

Note: the display 2 shows the vehicle

surroundings and emits beeps.
It is necessary to travel a few metres

before the side detection is activated.
If all areas have a grey background, the

whole area around the vehicle is being

monitored:
– A: analysis of the vehicle surround-

ings in progress;

– B: analysis of the vehicle surround-

ings carried out.

Operation

Most objects located less near the

front, rear and sides of the vehicle are

detected.
Depending on the distance of the ob-

stacle, the frequency of the beep will

be higher while approaching it, and will

become a solid beep around 20 cm for

obstacles to the sides, and 30 cm for

obstacles to the front or rear. Green,

orange and red zones will be displayed

on the display C.

2.40

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(3/4)

If a side obstacle is detected:
– the beeps become faster and then

sound continuously as the obstacle

gets nearer. Green, orange and red

zones will be displayed on the dis-

play D;

– if there is no risk of collision, no beep

will sound when approaching the ob-

stacle. Green, orange and red zones

will be displayed interspersed on the

display D.

Note: in the event of a change in tra-

jectory during a manoeuvre, the risk of

collision with an obstacles may be sig-

nalled late.

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.

Detection of obstacles to the side
Depending on the direction of the

wheels, the system determines the tra-

jectory of the vehicle and notifies the

driver of any risk or otherwise of a col-

lision with an obstacle 3 to the side of

the vehicle.

2.41

Deactivating the system

Press switch 5 to deactivate the system.
The indicator light built into the switch

lights up to remind you that the system

is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-

ivate the system and switch off the in-

dicator light.
Depending on the vehicle, you can de-

activate the parking distance control

from the touch-screen. Please see the

equipment instructions for further infor-

mation.

Operating faults

Depending on the vehicle, when the

system detects an operating fault,

the message “CHECK PARKING

SENSOR” appears on the instrument

panel, accompanied by the warning
light

and a beep lasting approxi-

mately 5 seconds. Consult an approved

dealer

Adjusting the parking

distance control volume

Depending on the vehicle, certain set-

tings can be adjusted from the touch-

screen 4. Please see the equipment in-

structions for further information.

2.42

REVERSING CAMERA

(1/2)

Note:

– ensure that the reversing camera is

not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, etc.);

– depending on the vehicle, certain

settings can be adjusted from the

touch screen 2. Refer to the hand-

book for the equipment.

Operation

When going into reverse gear (and up

to around 5 seconds after shifting into

another gear), the camera 1 placed

next to the lights transmits a view of

the rear surroundings of the vehicle on

the touch screen 2, accompanied by a

mobile and fixed gauge.
This system is initially used with the aid

of several gauges (mobile for trajectory

and fixed for distance). When the red

zone is reached, use the bumper image

to stop accurately.

This function is an additional

aid. It cannot, therefore,

under any circumstances

replace the vigilance or the

responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always be ready

for sudden incidents while driv-

ing: always ensure that there are

no small, narrow moving obstacles

(such as a child, animal, pushchair,

bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind

spot when manoeuvring.

2.43

REVERSING CAMERA

(2/2)

The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation

projected onto flat ground; this in-

formation must not be taken into

account when superimposed on a

vertical object or an object on the

ground.
Objects which appear on the edge

of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in

sunshine etc.), the camera vision

may be adversely affected.
If the boot is open or poorly closed,

the message “BOOT OPEN” ap-

pears and, depending on the vehi-

cle, the camera display disappears.

Static guide line 4:

The fixed clearance gauge comprises

coloured markers A, B and C, indicat-

ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-

tres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-

metres from the vehicle;

– C (green) approximately 150 centi-

metres from the vehicle.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are

in line with the vehicle.

Dynamic gauge 3 (depending on the

vehicle)
This is shown in blue on screen 2. It in-

dicates the vehicle trajectory according

to the position of the steering wheel.

2.44

ASSISTED PARKING

(1/4)

This function assists with parking ma-

noeuvres.
Take your hands off the steering wheel.

You only control the pedals and the

gear lever.
You can retake control at any time by

operating the steering wheel.

Switching on

With the vehicle at a standstill or driving

at less than approximately 18.6 mph

(30 km/h), press switch 1. The warn-

ing light integrated on switch 1 lights up

ASSISTED PARKING

(2/4)

Choice of manoeuvre

The system can perform four types of

manoeuvres:
– parallel parking;
– perpendicular parking;
– angle parking;
– moving out of a parallel parking

space.

From the multifunction screen, select

the manoeuvre to be performed.
Note: when starting the vehicle, or after

having successfully completed parallel

parking using the system, the default

manoeuvre proposed by the system is

assistance in exiting a parallel parking

space. In other cases, the default ma-

noeuvre can be set from the multifunc-

tion screen.

Operation

Parking
As long as the vehicle speed is less

than 20 mph (30 km/h), the system

looks for available parking spaces on

both sides of the vehicle.
Once a space has been found, it is dis-

played on the multifunction screen, in-

dicated by a small letter “P”. So that

the vehicle can detect a space, drive

slowly, with the indicators activated on

the same side as the space, until the

message “Stop” is displayed, along

with a beep.
The space is then indicated on the mul-

tifunction screen by a capital “P”.
– Stop the vehicle;
– select reverse gear.

The



indicator light lights up

on the instrument panel and a beep

sounds;
– release the steering wheel;
– follow the system instructions pro-

vided on the multifunction screen.

Your speed should not exceed around

4 mph (7 km/h).

Once the warning light



on the

instrument panel goes off and a beep

sounds, the manoeuvre has been com-

pleted.

2.46

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. To resume the manoeuvre,

press and hold the system activation

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 com-

pleted.

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).

The



indicator light lights up

on the instrument panel and a beep

sounds;

– release the steering wheel;

– go forwards and backwards using

the parking distance control system

alerts.

2.47

ASSISTED PARKING

(4/4)

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.
Make sure that the manoeuvre complies with the applicable traffic regulations at your location.

– The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: always ensure that there are no small, narrow moving

obstacles (such as a child, animal, pushchair, bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.

– The system cannot detect objects located in the sensor blind spots.
– When manoeuvring, the steering wheel may turn quickly: do not put your hands inside, and make sure that nothing is caught

inside.

– Always visually check that the parking space proposed by the system is still available and contains no obstacles.
– The system should only be used when towing a trailer or when there is a towing or load carrying system on the vehicle.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

(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 the foot on the brake pedal (the

warning light 3 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
4: displays the gear engaged in manual

mode.

Note: press button 2 to go from position

D or N to Ror P.

Driving in automatic mode

Move lever 1 to 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.

2.49

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

(2/3)

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.

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.

Driving in manual mode

With the selection lever 1 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 forwards;

– to move up through the gears, push

the lever backwards.

The gear selected is displayed on the

instrument panel.

When facing uphill, to remain

stopped, do not keep your foot on

the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic

gearbox.

2.50

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

(3/3)

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.

When setting off, if the lever is locked

in position P even though you are

pressing the brake pedal, the lever can

be released manually. For this, unclip

the base of the lever then insert a tool

(with a hard rod to it) into the slot 5 to

unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon

as possible.

Operating faults

– when driving, if the message

“CHECK AUTO GEARBOX” appears

on the instrument panel, it indicates

a failure.
Contact your approved Dealer as

soon as possible;

– when driving, if the message

“AUTO 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.

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.
