DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS

Grip 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).

"Road" mode
Upon starting up the vehicle, the
"STANDARD HIGHWAY MODE" mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument

panel. Warning light
trument panel is out.
This position enables optimal usage
under normal driving conditions (dry-
ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).
"Road" mode uses traction control func-
tions.
"Soft ground" mode
Press the switch 1: warning light
comes on the instrument panel accom-
panied by the message "VARIABLE
HIGHWAY MODE".
This position enables optimal usage on
soft ground (mud, sand, dead leaves,
etc.). "Soft ground" mode uses trac-
tion control functions. The system au-
tomatically switches to "Road" mode at
speeds above 30 mph (50 km/h), and
warning light
panel goes out.
Tyres
on the ins-
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.
