etc.)
Operating modes
Advanced Grip Control
Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during touring use).
Associated with all-season M+S (Mud and
Snow) tyres, this system offers a compromise
between safety, adhesion and traction.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on, accompanied by the display of
a message to confirm your choice.
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.
Standard (ESC)
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
This mode is calibrated for a low
5
level of wheel spin, based on the
different levels of grip normally
encountered on the road.
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.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
(mode active up to 75 mph
(120 km/h))
Snow
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.
This mode adapts its strategy to
the conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front wheels on
moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph
(80 km/h))

Safety
Hill Assist Descent
Control
You can deactivate the ASR
and DSC systems by turning
the knob to the "OFF" position.
The system is not available:
-
if the speed of the vehicle is above
43 mph (70 km/h),
System that provides assistance when
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel,
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss
of control of the vehicle when descending,
whether going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, it assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed, depending
on the gear engaged, while progressively
releasing the brakes.
-
if the speed of the vehicle is being
controlled by the Adaptive Cruise
Control, depending on the type of
gearbox.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
act on the engine operation or the brakes
in the event of an involuntary change of
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31 mph (50 km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
Operation
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Recommendations
The driver can select the system when
the engine is running, when the vehicle is
stationary or when moving at speeds up to
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
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:
For the system to activate, the slope 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.
-
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,
crossing a stream.
With instrument panels with dials
F To select the system, at a speed
below 31 mph (50 km/h), press
this button until its indicator lamp
comes on; up; this indicator lamp
appears in green in the instrument
panel.
When the system is regulating, the Active
Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
