DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS
Advanced traction control
If fitted on the vehicle, grip control
makes it easier to control the vehicle on
low grip surfaces (soft ground, etc.).
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving conditions.
However, 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 vigilance or responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).

Activating or deactivating the
system
From the multifunction screen, select
menu "Vehicle", "Driving assistance",
"Traction control" then select the mode:
« Auto »
The "Auto Advanced Traction Control"
message is shown on the instrument
panel for approximately 15 seconds.
This position enables optimal usage
under normal driving conditions (dry-
ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).
« Expert »
This position enables optimal usage on
soft ground (mud, sand, dead leaves,
etc.). "Expert" mode uses traction con-
trol functions.
The system automatically switches
to «Auto" mode at speeds above ap-
proximately 24.8 mph (40 km/h) and
the message "Auto Advanced Traction
Control» is displayed on the instrument
panel for approximately 15 seconds.
Note: The system's default mode is
"Auto" mode.
Tyres
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those re-
commended by your approved
dealer.
