Driving
Indicator lamps
Lights up white or green.
HDC is active.
Lights up grey.
HDC is on, but is not acting because the
required conditions are not met.
After starting the descent of a steep hill at
less than 30km/h (18 mph) when the system
is on, the HDC will activate automatically if
neither the accelerator nor brake pedals are
depressed. The speed is limited to a minimum
of 2 km/h (1mph) and a maximum of 30km/h
(18mph).
At any time, the driver can increase or decrease
the speed within the above-mentioned limit by
depressing the accelerator or the brake. The
function is then temporarily interrupted while
the speed is being regulated and then activa-
ted again if applicable.
However, it is essential that the surface ensures
sucient grip. For this reason, the Hill Descent
Control will not perform its function when, for
example, descending a slope with a frozen or
slippery surface.
The Hill Descent Control intervenes automati-
cally if the following conditions are met:
●
The vehicle’s engine is running.
●
The Oroad driving profile has been selec-
ted ›››page150. Driving at a speed below
30km/h (18mph) (the message
is shown on
the dash panel display).
●
The downward gradient is at least 10%.
●
Neither the brake nor accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
The hill descent control is deactivated if the
gradient is less than 5%. The function can be
switched o manually in the infotainment sys-
tem using the Oroad > HDC function but-
ton.
WARNING
Always be ready to apply the brakes. Failure
to do so could result in an accident and in-
jury.
●
The hill descent control is only an auxiliary
system which in some situations may not be
able to brake the vehicle suciently when
going downhill.
●
The vehicle's speed may increase despite
the intervention of the hill descent control.
Steering
Information relating to dierent vehi-
cle processes.
To make the vehicle more dicult to steal, al-
ways lock the steering before leaving the it.
Steering
On vehicles with electromechanical steering,
the power steering automatically adjusts ac-
cording to the driving speed, the steering wheel
torque and the orientation of the wheels. The
power steering only works when the engine is
running.
If the power steering does not work properly or
does not work at all, you will have to use much
more strength than usual to turn the steering
wheel.
Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle’s features, it may or
may not incorporate a progressive steering sys-
tem.
In city trac you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in very tight turns.
On roads or motorway, progressive steering
transmits, for example, in bends, a sportier,
more direct and noticeably more dynamic driv-
ing sensation.
Steering assist
This help assists the driver in critical situations. It
recommends turning the steering wheel to per-
form a corrective manoeuvre (counter-steer-
ing), turning slightly to avoid skidding ››› .
WARNING
Steering assist helps the driver in critical sit-
uations. The driver is the person who has to
control the vehicle's steering at all times.
