REVERSING CAMERA

(1/2)

4 moving guide line:
This is shown in blue on the multifunc-

tion screen 2. It indicates the vehicle

trajectory according to the position of

the steering wheel.

Special feature

Make sure that the camera is not ob-

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

Operation

Moving into reverse gear, the camera 1

located on the tailgate provides a view

of the area behind the vehicle on the

multimedia screen 2, accompanied by

one or two moving or fixed guide lines 4

and 3.
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.

Fixed gauge 3
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.

2.83

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 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 screen shows a reverse mirror

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.

You can also adjust the camera image

settings (brightness, contrast, etc.)

Activating, deactivating the

reversing camera

From the multifunction screen 2, select

“Vehicle”, “Settings”, “Parking as-

sistance”, then “Rear view camera”.

ASSISTED PARKING

(6/6)

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.
– 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 be deactivated when towing a trailer.

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 your foot on the brake pedal

(warning light

on the display 3

goes out), move the lever out of posi-

tion 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
Note: Press the button 2 to go from po-

sition D or N to R or P.
3: displays the gear engaged in manual

mode.

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.

2.91

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

(2/3)

Special cases

In certain driving conditions (for exam-

ple, engine protection, operation of the

Electronic Stability Programme: the au-

tomatic system may change gear auto-

matically.

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.

2.92

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 parking brake or, depen-

ding on the vehicle, ensure that the

electronic parking brake is applied.

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. To do this, unclip

the flap 4, then insert a tool (with a hard

rod to it) into the hole and press the

button 2 at the same time in order to

unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon

as possible.

Operating faults

– when driving, if the ‘check gearbox’

message appears on the instrument

panel, it indicates a fault.
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.

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 appro-

ved Dealer.
