Safety
Snow
The ASR and DSC systems will no
longer act on the operation of the engine
or of the brakes in the event of a change of
trajectory.
During a descent, the system assists the driver
in maintaining a constant speed, depending on
the gear engaged, while progressively releasing
the brakes.
This mode adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered for each of
the two front wheels on moving off.
These systems are reactivated automatically
from 31 mph (50 km/h) and whenever the
ignition is switched on.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
For the system to activate, the gradient
must be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox in
neutral.
Otherwise, engage a gear corresponding to
the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system can
be used with the selector at N, D or R.
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with the
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as to
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving
such as:
– crossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip away
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due
to obstacles or stones in particular,
– driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip,
When the system is regulating, the Active
Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
The system is no longer available if the
speed of the vehicle is:
– above 43 mph (70 km/h).
– managed by the Adaptive cruise control,
depending on the type of gearbox.
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two
driving wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of
getting stuck in the sand.
– crossing a stream.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
Hill Assist Descent
Control
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.
Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to
steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces
(e.g. gravel, mud).
Deactivation
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC
systems by turning the knob to the "OFF"
position.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of
control of the vehicle when descending, whether
going forward or in reverse.
