Driving
Some control and warning lamps will light up
briefly when the ignition is switched on to
check certain functions. They will switch off
after a few seconds.
WARNING

Description and operation
Hill Descent Control limits the speed on
steep descents by automatically braking all
four wheels, both when moving forward and
in reverse. As the anti-lock brake system re-
mains active, it prevents the wheels from
locking.
After starting the descent of a slope below
30 km/h (18 mph), speed is limited to a mini-
mum of 2 km/h (1 mph) and a maximum of
30 km/h (18 mph). When appropriate, the
driver may increase or decrease the speed
within the limit by pressing the accelerator or
the brake. At this point the function is inter-
rupted and, if necessary, it is then reactiva-
ted.
Even so, it is imperative that the surface
guarantees sufficient adhesion. For this rea-
son, the Hill Descent Control
will not fulfil its
function when, for example, descending a
slope with a frozen or slippery surface.
Hill Descent Control is available when the
dash panel display shows the message

.
Hill Descent Control automatically inter-
venes if the following conditions are met:
●
The vehicle engine is running.
●
The
Offroad
driving profile has been se-
lected
›››
page 241 . Driving at a speed below
30 km/h (18 mph) (the message

is shown
on the instrument panel).
●
The slope of the descent is at least 10%
when driving forward and 9% when driving in
reverse.
●
The brake and the accelerator are not
pressed.
Hill Descent Control is deactivated on press-
ing the brake and the accelerator or if the
slope is below 5%. The function may be dis-
connected manually in the Easy Connect
system by pressing the
 > HDC
button.
WARNING
Always be ready to brake. Otherwise, an ac-
cident could occur and cause injury.
●
Hill Descent Control is only an auxiliary
system that in some situations may not suf-
ficiently brake the vehicle when going
down a slope.
●
The speed of the vehicle may increase
despite the intervention of Hill Descent
Control.
Steering
Information relating to different vehi-
cle processes.
Electro-mechanical power steering adapts
electronically to the speed of the car, torque
and steering angle.
Even if the power steering fails or the engine
is stopped, it is possible to continue to rotate
the steering wheel as long as the key remains
in the ignition lock, but more force must be
applied.
Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle’s features, it may
or may not incorporate a progressive steer-
ing system.
In city traffic you do not need to turn so
much on parking, manoeuvring or in very
tight turns.
On the road or on the motorway, progressive
steering transmits, for example, in bends, a
sportier, more direct and noticeably more
dynamic driving sensation.
Steering assist
This help assists the driver in critical situa-
tions. It recommends turning the steering
wheel to perform a corrective manoeuvre
