72 - Driving
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction. The sys-
tem compares driver input to the actual
trajectory of the vehicle and corrects
the trajectory if necessary by control-
ling the braking of certain wheels and/
or engine power. In the event that the
system is engaged, the indicator light
flashes on the instrument panel.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the warning lights and
appear on the instrument panel.
In this case, the Electronic Stability
Program ESC with understeer control
and traction control are deactivated.
Please consult an authorised dealer if
these warning lights remain displayed
on the instrument panel after the igni-
tion is switched off and on again
Hill start assistance
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling forwards or backwards by
automatically applying the brakes
when the driver lifts their foot off the
brake pedal to depress the accelerator
pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear selector
is in a position other than neutral (oth-
er than N) and the vehicle is complete-
ly stationary (brake pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes
are then gradually released (the vehi-
cle will move according to the slope).
The hill start assistance
system cannot complete-
ly prevent the vehicle
from rolling backwards in
all situations (extremely steep
gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may de-
press the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from rolling forwards
or backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops : use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to
immobilise the vehicle perma-
nently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal
to stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particular-
ly vigilant when driving on slippery
or low-grip surfaces and/or on
hills.
Risk of serious injury.
