DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS

(4/4)

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 de-

press the accelerator pedal.

System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is

in a position other than neutral (other

than N or P for automatic transmis-

sions) 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 ve-

hicle from rolling forwards or back-

wards.
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 and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

2.27

Switching on

Press the side switch 1



. The indica-

tor 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 function is activated and waiting

to store a limited speed.

To store the current speed, press

switch 2 (+): the limit speed will replace

the dashes.

The minimum stored speed is 20 mph

(30 km/h).

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Limit speed activation, storage and

increase switch (+).

3 Decreasing the limit speed (-).
4 Activation and recall of memorised

limit speed (R).

5 Speed limiter function standby (with

limited speed memory) (O).

The speed limiter function helps you

stay within the driving speed limit that

you choose, known as the limit speed.

SPEED LIMITER

(1/3)

2.28

Exceeding the limit speed

It is possible to exceed the limit speed

at any time. To do this: press the accel-

erator pedal firmly and fully (beyond

the resistance point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the

programmed speed displayed on the

instrument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator: the

speed limiter function will return as

soon as you reach a speed lower than

the stored 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 to inform

you of this and, depending on the vehi-

cle, an audible signal sounds at regular

intervals.

Varying the limit speed

The limit speed may be changed by re-

peatedly pressing:
– switch 2 (+) to increase speed;
– switch 3 (-) to reduce speed.

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”).

SPEED LIMITER

(2/3)

The speed limiter function is

in no way linked to the brak-

ing system.

2.29

SPEED LIMITER

(3/3)

Recalling the limit speed

If a speed has been saved, it can be re-

called by pressing switch 4 ((R)).

Putting the function on

standby

The speed limiter function is suspended

when you press switch 5 (O). In this

case, the speed limit remains stored

and the message “MEMORISED” ac-

companied by this speed appears on

the instrument panel.

Switching off the function

The speed limiter function is deac-

tivated if you press switch 1: in this

case a speed is no longer stored. The

orange instrument panel warning light



goes out, confirming that the func-

tion is stopped.

When the speed limiter is put on

standby, pressing switch 2 (+) re-

activates the function without taking

into account the stored speed: it is

the speed at which the vehicle is

moving that is taken into account.

2.30

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).

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid. However,

the function 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.

The cruise control function

is in no way linked to the

braking system.

Controls

1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage

and increase switch (+).

3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4 Activation with recall of saved cruis-

ing speed (R).

5 Switch the function to standby (with

cruising speed saved) (O).

CRUISE CONTROL

(1/4)

2.31

Driving

Once a cruising speed is stored and

the cruise control function is active,

you may lift your foot off the accelera-

tor pedal.

Please note that you must

keep your feet close to the

pedals in order to react in

an emergency.

Activating cruise control

At a steady speed (above 18 mph

(30 km/h approximately)) press switch 2

or (+): the function is activated and the

current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes

and the cruise control is confirmed by

the appearance of warning light 6 lit

green, as well as warning light 7.

Switching on

Press switch 1 side



Indicator light 7 comes on, lit green, and

the message “CRUISE CONTROL” ap-

pears on the instrument panel, accom-

panied by dashes to indicate that the

cruise control function is activated and

waiting to store a cruising speed.

CRUISE CONTROL

(2/4)

2.32

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.

2.33

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.

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.
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.

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 shift into

neutral if the vehicle has an auto-

matic gearbox.

In all three cases, the cruising speed

remains stored and the message

“MEMORISED” appears on the instru-

ment panel.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light



goes out.

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.

2.34

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).

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.

2.35

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.

2.36

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.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(3/4)

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.

2.37

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.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

(4/4)

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.

Operating faults

Depending on the vehicle, when the

system detects an operating fault, the

message “Check parking sensor” ap-

pears on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by the warning light

and

a beep lasting approximately 5 sec-

onds. Consult an approved dealer

2.38

REVERSING CAMERA

(1/2)

Operation

Moving into reverse gear, the 1 camera

(located on the tailgate on five-seater

versions or near the number plate lights

on estate versions) provides a view of

the area behind the vehicle on the 2

touchscreen. Depending on the ve-

hicle, this may be accompanied by a

moving guide line or a static guide line.

Note: make sure that the reversing

camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,

snow, etc.).

Note: depending on the vehicle, cer-

tain settings can be adjusted from the 2

touchscreen. Refer to the handbook for

the equipment.

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 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 ma-

noeuvring.

2.39

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.

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.

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.
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.

2.40

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

and the 2 screen appears on the multi-

function screen.

Special features

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-

cated by arrows 3 are not obscured (by

dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Select which side (indicator light)

Look all around

2.41

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.
