Operating faults

When the system detects an operating

fault, a beep sounds for approximately

3 seconds each time reverse gear is se-

lected and is accompanied by the mes-

sage “Check parking sensor” shown on

the instrument panel. Please consult an

authorised dealer.

Special features

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors are

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

REVERSING CAMERA

(1/2)

This gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are

in line with the vehicle.

Special feature

Make sure that the camera is not ob-

scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

3 moving guide line:
This is shown in blue on screen 2. It in-

dicates the vehicle trajectory according

to the position of the steering wheel.

Fixed gauge 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.

Operation

Moving into reverse gear, the camera 1

located near the number plate lights

provides a view of the area behind the

vehicle on the multimedia display 2,

accompanied by two moving or fixed

guide lines 3 and 4.
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.

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” appears

and the camera display disappears.

This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circum-

stances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.

The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents during driv-

ing: 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 manoeuvring.

Operation

With the gear lever 1 in position P,

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

press the brake pedal before pressing

unlocking button 2.
With the foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light

on the display 3 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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

(1/3)

Driving in automatic mode

Select position D. In most traffic con-

ditions, you will not have to touch the

gear selector lever again: the gears will

change automatically at the right time

and at the most suitable engine speed

because the automatic system takes

into account the vehicle load and road

contour and adjusts itself to the particu-

lar driving 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.

2.44

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 or, depending

on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-

tronic parking brake is applied.

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.

Driving in manual mode

With the selector lever 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 backwards;

– To move up through the gears, push

the lever forwards.

The gear selected is displayed on the

instrument panel.

Special cases

Under certain driving conditions (e.g.

engine protection, or electronic stabil-

ity program (ESP) operational etc.): the

automatic system may change gear au-

tomatically.
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 TRANSMISSION

(2/3)

In very cold weather, the system

may prevent the gears from being

shifted in manual mode until the

gearbox reaches the right tempera-

ture.

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.

2.45

When setting off, if the lever is locked

in position P even though you are de-

pressing the brake pedal and pressing

unlocking button 2, the lever can be re-

leased manually. To do this, press the

button by inserting an object into the

hole 10 and simultaneously press un-

locking button 2 located on the lever.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

(3/3)

Operating faults

– When driving, if the “Check auto

gearbox” message appears on the

instrument panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as

soon as possible.

– When driving, if the message “Auto

gearbox overheating” appears on

the instrument panel, stop the ve-

hicle to allow the gearbox to cool

down.
Contact your approved Dealer as

soon as possible.

– If a vehicle with an automatic

gearbox breaks down, refer to the

information on “Towing” in Section 5.

6 Air recirculation.

Switching air conditioning on

or off

The air conditioning is switched on (in-

dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)

using button 3.

The air conditioning system is used

for:
– lowering the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminating condensation more

quickly.

Distribution of air in the

passenger compartment

There are five air distribution options.

Turn control 4 to choose the distribution

option.

The air flow is directed to the

windscreen and the front side

window demisting vents.

The air flow is distributed

between all the air vents, the

front side window demisting vents, the

windscreen demisting vents and the

footwells.

The air flow is directed mainly

towards the footwells.

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard vents and the

footwells.

All the air flow is directed to the

dashboard vents.

3.5

Adjusting the ventilation

speed

Turn control 2 clockwise to increase the

air flow in the passenger compartment.

The passenger compartment is ven-

tilated by blown air. The blower deter-

mines how much air enters but vehicle

speed has a slight effect on this.

Switching the air

recirculation on

Press button 6: the integrated indicator

light comes on.

Under these conditions, air is taken

from the passenger compartment and

is recirculated, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation is for:

– isolating the vehicle from the exter-

nal atmosphere (driving in polluted

areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

“OFF" position:

the system is deactivated: the ventila-

tion speed for the passenger compart-

ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),

you can however still feel a slight flow

of air when the vehicle is moving.

Recommended demisting option:

Turn controls 1, 2 and 4 to the

position.

This is the quickest option for de-icing

and demisting the side windows and

the windscreen.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(2/2)

Prolonged use of air recirculation

can lead to condensation forming

on the side windows and winds-

creen, and discomfort due to the

use of non-renewed air in the pas-

senger compartment.

We therefore advise you to return to

normal mode (external air) as soon

as the air recirculation function is

no longer required, by pressing the

button 6 again.

The de-icing function cannot be used with the air recirculation mode to avoid any risk of condensation forming on the wind-

screen and triggers the air conditioning and the integrated indicator light 3 to come on.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

(1/5)

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), whilst optimising consumption.

The system controls the ventilation

speed, air distribution, air recircula-

tion, and starting and stopping the air

conditioning and air temperature. This

mode consists of a choice of three pro-

grammes:
AUTO: allows the selected comfort

level to be best attained, depending on

the exterior conditions. Press button 3.
SOFT: gently brings the temperature to

the desired comfort level. The comfort

level is then maintained gently and si-

lently. Press button 2.
FAST: increases the operation of the

system to reach the desired comfort

level more quickly. Use this programme

when you have passengers in the rear.

tor goes out.
You can change the fan speed: press

the button 13.
To exit this function, press:
– the 10 button again;
– one of either button 2, 3 or 4.

3.8

The displayed temperature values

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

creasing or decreasing the value

displayed 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.

You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-

matic programmes AUTO, SOFT or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning

functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection. In this case, the indicator light on the

button 3 will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by the

system, will be shown on the display 12.
