DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/6)

ECO mode

ECO mode is a function which opti-

mises fuel consumption. It acts upon

certain power consuming systems in

the vehicle (heating, air conditioning,

power-assisted steering etc.) and on

certain driving actions (acceleration,

gear changing, cruise control, deceler-

ation etc.).

Limiting acceleration enables low fuel

consumption in urban and surrounding

areas. When ECO mode is in use, it is

normal to notice a change in the heat-

ing level.

Free wheel in ECO mode

Depending on the vehicle, for vehicles

fitted with an automatic gearbox, in the

deceleration phases (with the foot fully

off the accelerator pedal), switching to

freewheeling (automatic neutral) de-

creases engine braking and allows you

to farther without accelerating in order

to save fuel.

Activating the function

While driving, it is possible to leave the

ECO mode temporarily in order to im-

prove engine performance.

The function can be activated:

– by pressing switch 5;

– by pressing the switch 6 (please refer

to the information on “Multi-Sense” in

Section 3);

– from the navigation menu on the

multimedia screen (please refer to

the multimedia instructions).

For this, depress the accelerator pedal

firmly and fully.

ECO mode is reactivated when you

take pressure off the accelerator pedal.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/6)

– Do not overrev the engine in the in-

termediate gears.

You should always use the highest

gear possible.

– Bad weather, flooded roads:

Do not drive through

floods if the water is

above the lower edge of

the wheel rims.

– Avoid sudden acceleration.

– Brake as little as possible. If you an-

ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-

vance, you may then simply release

the accelerator pedal.

– Do not try to maintain the same

speed up a hill, accelerate no more

than you would on flat ground. Keep

your foot in the same position on the

accelerator pedal.

– Double declutching and accelerating

before switching off the engine are

unnecessary in modern vehicles.

Driving advice and ECO

driving

Behaviour

– Drive carefully for the first few miles

until the engine reaches its normal

operating temperature, rather than

let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-

tionary.

Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only

use mats suitable for the

vehicle, attached with the

pre-fitted components, and check

the fitting regularly. Do not lay one

mat on top of another.

– Speed is expensive.

– Dynamic driving with a lot of frequent

acceleration and braking is expen-

sive on fuel in comparison to the time

saved.

There is a risk of wedging the

pedals.

2.24

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (6/6)

– In vehicles fitted with air condi-

tioning, it is normal to observe an

increase in fuel consumption (espe-

cially in urban conditions) when it is

used. For vehicles fitted with manual

air conditioning, switch off the system

when it is not required.

Recommendations for reducing

consumption and therefore help-

ing to preserve the environment:

If the vehicle has been parked in the

sun, open the doors for a few mo-

ments to let the hot air escape before

starting the engine.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack

fitted to the vehicle.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-

jects.

– When towing a caravan, fit a wind

deflector and adjust it carefully.

– Avoid using the car for door-to-door

calls (short journeys with long waits

in between) because the engine

never reaches its normal operating

temperature.

Tyres

Advice on use

– An underinflated tyre increases fuel

consumption.

– Favour the ECO mode.

– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the

electrical components which are

not really needed. However (safety

first), keep your lights on when the

visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).

– Use the air vents. Driving with the

windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)

will increase fuel consumption by

4%.

– Opt for the highest speed pressure

or the pressure recommended to op-

timise fuel consumption indicated

on edge of the driver’s door (please

refer to the information on “Tyre infla-

tion pressure” in Section 4).

– The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the

brim to avoid overflow.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE

Your vehicle complies with criteria for

recycling and recovering vehicles at the

end of their service life, which entered

into force in 2015.

In addition, replacing engine, fuel

supply system and exhaust compo-

nents with parts other than those origi-

nally recommended by the manufac-

turer may alter your vehicle so that it

no longer complies with anti-pollution

regulations.

Some parts of your vehicle have there-

fore been designed to facilitate future

recycling.

These parts are easy to remove so

that they can be recovered and reproc-

essed by recycling companies.

Exhaust gas monitoring

system

The exhaust gas monitoring system will

detect any operating faults in the vehi-

cle’s antipollution system.

If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-

stances may be released into the at-

mosphere or damage may occur.

Have your vehicle adjusted and

checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-

cordance with the instructions given in

your maintenance schedule: they will

have all the equipment necessary for

ensuring that your vehicle is maintained

to its original standard.

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel

consumption and initial settings, your

vehicle also conforms to current anti-

pollution regulations. The manufac-

turer is actively striving to reduce pol-

lutant exhaust gas emissions and to

save energy. But the fuel consumption

of your vehicle and the level of pollutant

exhaust gas emissions are also your

responsibility. Ensure that it is main-

tained and used correctly.

This indicator light on the in-

strument panel indicates pos-

sible faults in the system.

Engine adjustments

This lights up when the ignition is

switched on and goes out when the

engine is started.

– If it lights up continuously, consult an

approved Dealer as soon as possi-

ble;

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed

until the light stops flashing. Contact

an authorised dealer as soon as pos-

sible.

– Spark plugs: for optimum condi-

tions of use, output and performance

the specifications laid down by our

Design Department must be strictly

applied.

If the spark plugs have to be changed,

use the make, type and gap specified

for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an

authorised dealer for this.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that fail-

ure to respect antipollution regulations

could lead to legal action being taken

against the vehicle owner.

– Ignition and idle speed: no adjust-

ment is needed.

Refer to the information on

“Reagent tank” in Section 1.

ENVIRONMENT

Your vehicle has been designed with

respect for the environment in mind for

its entire service life: during production,

use and at the end of its life.

This commitment is illustrated by the

Renault eco² signature.

– At the end of the vehicle’s service

life, it should be sent to approved

centres to ensure that it is recycled.

Emissions

Your vehicle has been designed to emit

fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) while in

use, and therefore to consume less fuel

(eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 5.3 l/100

km for a diesel vehicle).

– In all cases, comply with local legis-

lation.

Our vehicles are also equipped with a

particle filter system including a cata-

lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and

an active carbon filter (the latter pre-

vents vapour from the fuel tank being

released into the open air).

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and

95% recoverable.

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured at

a factory which complies with a policy

to reduce the environmental impact

on the surrounding areas (reduction of

water and energy consumption, visual

and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-

sions and waste water; sorting and re-

using waste).

To achieve these objectives, many of

the vehicle components have been de-

signed to enable them to be recycled.

The materials and structures have

been carefully designed to allow these

components to be easily removed and

reprocessed by specialist companies.

For certain diesel vehicles, this system

also has a particle filter to reduce the

volume of soot particles emitted.

Please make your own

contribution towards

protecting the environment

too

– Worn parts replaced in the course of

routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-

cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-

ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or

filled with used oil) must be disposed

of through specialist organisations.

In order to preserve raw material re-

sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-

merous parts made from recycled plas-

tics or renewable materials (vegetable

or animal-derived materials such as

cotton or wool).

the “Tyre pressure” function;

– press and hold (around 3 seconds)

the button 2 to launch the reset. The

flashing tyres followed by the mes-

sages “Learning TP initiated” and

then “Tyres location in progress” in-

dicates that the reset request for the

tyre pressure reference value has

been acknowledged.

– when the standard tyre pressure

needs to be changed to adapt to

usage conditions (empty, carrying a

load, motorway driving, etc.);

– after swapping a wheel (however

this practice is not recommended);

– after changing a wheel.

It should always be done after checking

the tyre pressure of all four tyres when

cold.

Tyre pressures must correspond to the

current usage of the vehicle (empty,

carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).

Reset can take several minutes of driv-

ing.

If the vehicle is equipped with the func-

tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-

sure.

If the resetting is followed by short

trips, the message “Tyres location in

progress” can remain displayed after

successive restarts.

Operating principle

Note

Each wheel (except for the emergency

spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-

tion valve which periodically measures

the tyre pressure.

The standard tyre pressure cannot be

less than that recommended and indi-

cated on the door frame.

The system displays the current pres-

sures on the instrument panel 1 and

alerts the driver in the event of insuffi-

cient pressure.

Resetting can also be done from the

multifunction screen 3 if your vehi-

cle is fitted with a navigation system.

– ABS (anti-lock braking system);

ABS (anti-lock braking

system)

– ESC (electronic stability control)

Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents

the wheels from locking, allowing the

stopping distance to be managed and

keeping control of the vehicle.

– emergency brake assist;

– hill start assistance.

Under these circumstances, the vehi-

cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle

whilst braking. In addition, this system

can increase stopping distances, par-

ticularly on roads with low surface grip

(wet ground etc.).

Other driving assistance systems are

detailed on the following pages.

You will feel a pulsation through the

brake pedal each time the system is

activated. The ABS does not in any way

improve the vehicle's physical perform-

ance relating to the road surface and

roadholding. It is still essential to follow

the rules of good driving practice (such

as driving at a safe distance from the

vehicle in front etc.).

These functions are an ad-

ditional aid in the event of

critical driving conditions,

enabling the vehicle behav-

iour to be adapted to suit the driving

conditions.

The functions do not take the place

of the driver. They do not increase

the vehicle’s limits and should

not encourage you to drive more

quickly. Therefore, they can under

no circumstances replace the vigi-

lance or responsibility of the driver

when manoeuvring the vehicle (the

driver must always be ready for

sudden incidents which may occur

when driving).

In an emergency, apply firm and

continuous pressure to the brake

authorised dealer.

This system helps to limit wheelspin of

the drive wheels and to control the ve-

hicle when pulling away accelerating or

decelerating.

Operating principle

A sensor in the steering wheel detects

the direction selected by the driver.

Using the wheel sensors, the system

measures and compares the speed of

the drive wheels at all times and slows

down their over-rotation. If a wheel is

starting to slip, the system brakes au-

tomatically until the drive supplied be-

comes compatible with the level of grip

under the wheel again.

The system also adjusts the engine

speed to the grip available under the

wheels, independently of the pressure

exerted on the accelerator pedal.

Other sensors throughout the vehicle

measure the actual direction.

The system compares the direction se-

lected by the driver and the actual di-

rection of the vehicle and corrects this

as necessary by applying the brakes

selectively and/or acting on the engine

power. If the system is triggered, the

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 by au-

tomatically applying the brakes when

the driver lifts his/her foot off the brake

pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.

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 vehi-

cle from rolling backwards.

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.

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 released (the vehicle will move ac-

cording to the slope).

The driver must remain particularly

vigilant when driving on slippery or

low-grip surfaces.

braking to the vehicle until it is

completely stationary if necessary.

For safety reasons, always wear

your seat belt when travelling in

your vehicle and make sure that it

is loaded so that no items can be

thrown forward and hit the occu-

pants.

Using information from the radar-cam-

era 1, the system calculates the dis-

tance which separates it from the

vehicle in front and the surrounding pe-

destrians.

It notifies the driver if there is a risk of

head-on collision. The driver can then

Special features

When the vehicle speed:

Operation

– is less than 27.9 mph (45 km/h) ap-

proximately, the warning and brak-

ing are activated at the same time;

When driving (speed between about

4.34 and 99.2 mph (7 and 160 km/h)), if

there is a risk of collision with the vehi-

cle in front, the system:

2

– is between about 27.9 mph

(45 km/h) and 48 mph (80 km/h)

approximately, the warning is acti-

vated. Braking will only be triggered if

the vehicle preceding you is moving.

Braking is not activated for stationary

vehicles;

– warns you of a collision risk:

– the warning light



is dis-

played in red on the instrument

panel, accompanied by a beep;

or

– the indicator 2 is displayed in red

on the instrument panel and, de-

pending on the vehicle, on the head

up display, accompanied by a beep.

– is between about 48 mph (80 km/h)

and 99.2 mph (160 km/h), the warn-

ing and braking are only triggered if

the vehicle preceding you is moving.

The warning and braking are not ac-

tivated for stationary vehicles;

If the driver depresses the brake

pedal and the system still detects a

risk of collision, the brake force is in-

creased.

– is above 99.2 mph (160 km/h), the

system is not active.

– triggers braking:

if the driver fails to react following

the alert and collision becomes im-

minent.

You can interrupt braking at any

point by:

– tapping the accelerator pedal;

or

– turning the steering wheel in an

avoidance manoeuvre.

sage “Active braking disconnected”.

Consult an approved dealer

As a general rule, if the driver shows

signs of attention (action on the steering

wheel, pedals etc.), the system delays

its operation or does not activate.

The possible causes are:

– the system is temporarily blinded

(glare from the sun, dipped beam

headlights, bad weather conditions

etc.). The system will be operational

again when visibility conditions are

better;

– the system is temporarily disrupted

(for example: windscreen obscured

by dirt, ice, snow etc.). In this case,

park the vehicle and switch off the

engine. Clean the windscreen. When

you next start the engine, the warn-

ing light and the message go out;

– if this is not the case, this may arise

from another cause; contact an

Approved Dealer.

2.40

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (6/7)

Active emergency braking

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. The triggering of this function may be

delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of the vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-

ing wheel, pedals etc.).

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera alignment may be changed, and its operation may consequently be affected.

Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the radar-camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be car-

ried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

In the event of system disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:

– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);

– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);

– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

– poor contrast between the object (vehicle, pedestrian etc.) and the surrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white lo-

cated in a snowy area etc.);

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.);

– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.).

Risk of inadvertent braking.

2.41

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (7/7)

Limitation of the system operation

– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.

– The radar-camera area on the windscreen should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the

proper operation of the system.

– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles as effectively as to other vehicles.

– The system may not operate properly when the road surface is slippery (rain, snow, black ice etc.).

– To ensure correct operation, the system needs to distinguish the complete outline of the pedestrian. So the system cannot

detect:

– pedestrians in the darkness or in poor lighting conditions;

– partially visible pedestrians:

– pedestrians less than approximately 80 cm tall;

– pedestrians carrying large objects;

– ...

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

– the brake lights are not functioning;

– the area of the radar-camera has been damaged (on the windscreen side or the interior rear-view mirror side);

– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out repairs on this area of the windscreen; have it changed by an

Authorised Dealer).

Halting the function

You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a avoid-

ance manoeuvre.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

OVERSPEED ALERT (1/3)

For vehicles equipped with a navigation

system and if the vehicle is travelling in

a country where the speed units differ

from those of the vehicle, the system

displays the speed limit sign in the unit

of the country, alongside the speed limit

converted to the unit used by the vehi-

cle’s instrument panel.

Operating principle

The system detects speed limit signs

on the side of the road and displays the

speed limit.

It mainly uses information taken from

the camera 1, attached to the wind-

screen behind the rear-view mirror.

1

Note: make sure the windscreen is not

obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-

tion etc.).

For countries where the speed limit is

reduced during rainy weather on some

types of roads, on vehicles equipped

with a navigation system, the system

can modify the limited speed after a few

seconds of wiping the windscreen.

For vehicles which are equipped with it,

the system also uses information from

the navigation system.

Once the speed limiter is activated, you

can adjust the speed limiter indication

displayed by the system.

Special situations

The overspeed alert with signage panel

recognition notifies the driver that they

are exceeding the speed limit for the

section of road on which they are cur-

rently travelling.

The system does not take into account

exceptional speed limit measures, such

as peak pollution days.

In the event of exceeding the speed

limit, the sign display is modified (the

characters change to red or the circle

around the sign flashes) no notify you.

On equipped vehicles, some infor-

mation is given on the head-up dis-

play.

OVERSPEED ALERT (3/3)

Operating fault

The system cannot detect the speed

limit if:

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.

– the windscreen is not clean;

The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, re-

gardless of the system indications.

– the camera is blinded by the sun;

The system enables maximum speed signs to be detected and does not detect

other signs.

– there is insufficient visibility (night,

fog, etc.);

The driver should not, however, ignore signs which are not detected by the system

and should as a priority comply with the traffic signage and the highway code.

– the signs are not legible (snow, etc.)

or are hidden (by another vehicle or

by trees);

In the event of poor visibility (fog, snow, frost, etc.), it is possible that the system

may not indicate the correct speed to the driver.

– the information taken from the navi-

gation system is not up to date.

The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of

the system indications.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (1/8)

The adaptive cruise control is a func-

tion which gives you the option, when

traffic conditions permit (large free-flow-

ing road or motorway), of maintaining

a chosen speed, known as the cruising

speed, while keeping a safe distance

from the vehicle in front in the same

lane.

1

The function can be adjusted from

31 mph (50 km/h) to 99.2 mph

(160 km/h).

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid. The func-

tion does not take the place

of the driver.

The radar-camera has a range of

around 120 metres.

Note:

– the driver should take account of the

maximum legally permissible speed

in the country where the vehicle is

travelling;

– the adaptive cruise control can brake

the vehicle up to a third of the brak-

ing capacity. Depending on the situ-

ation, the driver may need to brake

harder.

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).

Location of the radar-

camera 1

Make sure the windscreen is not ob-

scured (dirt, mud, snow, condensation

etc.).

The adaptive cruise control should

not be used in heavy traffic, on

winding or slippery roads (black ice,

aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad

weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).

There is a risk of accidents.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (7/8)

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.

The driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of the system indications.

The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera alignment may be changed, and its operation may consequently be affected.

Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the radar-camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be car-

ried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

– the brake lights are not functioning;

– the area of the radar-camera has been damaged (on the windscreen side or the interior rear-view mirror side);

– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

– traffic is heavy;

– the vehicle is travelling in a tunnel;

– the vehicle is travelling on a windy road;

– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out windscreen repairs in this area; have it changed by an Authorised

Dealer);

– the vehicle is travelling on a slippery road or in poor weather conditions (fog, snow, rain, side winds etc.).

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

2.76

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (8/8)

Limitation of the system operation

– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.

– The radar-camera should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the

system.

– Fixed obstacles (stationary vehicles, traffic jams, toll booths etc.) or objects travelling at low speed or of a small size (motor-

bikes, bicycles, pedestrians etc.) may not be detected by the system.

– A vehicle entering the same lane will only be detected once it has entered the detection zone. Sudden or late braking may

then take place.

– When entering a bend or curve, the radar-camera may temporarily no longer detect the vehicle in front, and this may lead

to acceleration.

– When exiting a curve, the detection of the vehicle in front may be affected or delayed. Sudden or late braking may then take

place.

– A slower vehicle travelling in an adjacent lane may be detected and cause a slowing down if one of the two vehicles is trav-

elling too close to the lane of the other.

– A slower vehicle with a wide difference in speed may not be taken into account by the system.

– The system is deactivated below around 25 mph (40 km/h). Drivers must react accordingly.

– Sudden changes in situation are not instantly taken into account by the system. Drivers must remain vigilant at all times and

under all circumstances.

System disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:

– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.) ;

– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);

– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

– poor contrast between objects;

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.).

Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

2.77

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/5)

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper

measure the distance between the ve-

hicle and an obstacle.

1

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.

This function is an addi-

tional aid that indicates the

distance between the vehi-

cle and an obstacle whilst

reversing, using sound signals.

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).

Under no circumstances should it

replace the driver’s care or respon-

sibility whilst reversing.

Special features

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-

cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by

dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

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.

The parking distance control system

does not take into account towing and

load carrying systems etc.

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.

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.

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

Operation

The fixed clearance gauge comprises

coloured markers A, B and C, indicat-

ing the distance behind the vehicle:

This is shown in blue on the multifunc-

tion screen 2. It indicates the vehicle

trajectory according to the position of

the steering wheel.

When you change to reverse gear, the

camera 1 located on the tailgate pro-

vides a view of the area behind the

vehicle on the multimedia screen 2,

accompanied by one or two fixed or

moving guide lines 3 and 4.

– 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.

Special feature

Make sure that the camera is not ob-

scured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensa-

tion etc.).

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 gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are

in line with the vehicle.

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.

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.

A

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.

Selector lever 1

P: park

Operation

With gear lever 1 in position P, start the

engine.

R: reverse

To move out of position P, you must de-

press the brake pedal before pressing

the unlocking button 2.

Accelerating and overtaking

N: Neutral

Depress the accelerator pedal firmly

and fully (so that it goes beyond the

kickdown point).

D: automatic mode

M: manual mode

+: upper gear

–: lower gear

With your foot on the brake pedal (the

^{warning light}c on the display goes

out), move the lever out of position P.

This will enable you to change down

to the optimum gear within the

engine range.

Only engage D or R when the vehi-

cle is stopped, with your foot on the

brake, the accelerator pedal released

and the engine running.

The gear engaged is displayed on the

instrument panel B and on the dis-

play A.

Note: press button 2 to go from position

D or N to R or P.

2.89

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/3)

1

The gear selected is displayed on the

instrument panel.

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

gears repeatedly when climbing, and

permit engine braking on long de-

scents.

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.

– 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.

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.

Driving in manual mode

Move the selector lever 1 to position D,

then move the lever to the right into po-

sition M.

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.

Check that the indicator

light P on the instrument

panel is activated before

leaving the vehicle.

When facing uphill, to remain

stopped, do not keep your foot on

the accelerator.

Risk of loss of immobilisation of

the vehicle

Risk of overheating the automatic

gearbox.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/3)

Parking the vehicle

Maintenance period

Refer to the maintenance document

for your vehicle or consult an Approved

Dealer to check whether the automatic

gearbox requires scheduled mainte-

nance.

When the vehicle is stopped, move

the lever to position P while keeping

your foot on the brake pedal: the drive

wheels are mechanically locked by the

driveshaft.

2

Ensure that the electronic parking

brake is engaged.

If it does not need to be serviced, there

is no need to top up the oil.

3

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;

For safety reasons, do not

switch off the ignition before

the vehicle has come to a

complete standstill.

When activated, in the event that the

lever is stuck in P, depress the brake

paddle. It is possible to free the lever

manually. To do this, unclip the base of

the lever, then insert a tool (rigid rod)

into the slot 3 (located on the right of

the lever) and press simultaneously on

the button 2 to unlock the lever.

– 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;

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).

– If a vehicle with an automatic

gearbox breaks down, refer to the

information on “Towing” in Section 5.

Contact an authorised dealer as soon

as possible.

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved Dealer.
