After the vehicle is started, the system automatically locks the doors when you are driving at approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
- by pressing door unlocking button 1.
- by opening a door when stationary.
Note: if a door is opened or closed, it will automatically lock again when the vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no automatic locking, the indicator light incorporated in button 1 does not light up when trying to lock the doors and tailgate, etc.), firstly check that the doors and tailgate are properly closed. If they are properly closed, contact an approved Dealer.
ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents the vehicle being driven by anyone not in possession of the vehicle's coded ignition key.
The vehicle is automatically protected a few seconds after the engine is switched off.
Any unauthorised work carried out on the engine immobiliser (computers, wiring, etc.) could be dangerous. Work must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Operating principle
When the engine is started, warning light 1 remains lit for a few seconds then goes out (refer to the information on "Starting the engine" in Section 2).
If the code is not recognised, the warning light flashes rapidly and the vehicle will not start.
Vehicle protection tell-tale light
After the ignition has been switched off, warning light 1 flashes and the vehicle is protected.
Operating fault warning light
If the warning light continues to flash or stays lit up permanently following an attempt to start the engine, this indicates a fault in the system.
In this case, use the second key (supplied with the vehicle). If the fault is still present, contact your approved Dealer as only an approved Dealer is qualified to repair the engine immobiliser system.

Adjusting the height of the driver's seat
Move lever 2 as many times as necessary:
- upwards to raise it;
- downwards to lower it.
Heated seats
With the ignition switched on, press switch 3 on the required seat. The indicator light in the switch lights up.
The system, which has a thermostat, decides whether or not the heating is needed.
For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not being driven.
We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the floor (area in front of driver) as such objects may slide under the pedal during braking manoeuvres, thus obstructing its use.
SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.
Before starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all passengers to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection.
Incorrectly adjusted or twisted seat belts may cause injuries in the event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person, whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen, but do not allow any slack.
Adjusting your driving position
- Sit well back in your seat (having first removed your coat or jacket). This is essential to ensure your back is positioned correctly;
- adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to depress the clutch pedal fully. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel;
- adjust the position of your headrest. For safety reasons, the top of the headrest must be level with the top of the head;
- adjust the height of the seat. This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view;
- adjust the position of the steering wheel.
Refer to the information on the "Steering wheel" in Section 1.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.
SEAT BELTS (2/4)
To fasten
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that buckle 3 locks into catch 5 (check that it is locked by pulling on buckle 3).
If the belt jams before it clicks in, allow it to return before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed, pull slowly, but firmly so that just over 3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an approved dealer.
Seat belt reminder warning light
This warning light on the instrument panel or dashboard goes out to let you know that the seat belt has been correctly fastened.
Unlocking
Press button 4 on catch 5 and the seat belt will be rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the buckle to help the operation.
Adjusting the height of the seat belt
Move button 6 to select the position you require so that chest strap 1 is worn as described above.
Make sure that the seat belt is locked in position correctly after you have adjusted it.
SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Rear side seat belts 7
The belts are locked, unlocked and adjusted in the same way as the front belts.
Rear centre belt
Unwind belt 9 slowly from its housing, then fasten buckle 8 into the corresponding black catch 11.
Make sure that the rear bench seats are locked in position properly so that the seat belts will operate efficiently. Refer to the information on the "Rear bench seats" in Section 3.
Fasten sliding buckle 10 into the corresponding red catch 12.
Check that the rear seat belts are positioned and operating correctly each time the rear bench seat is
moved.
SEAT BELTS (4/4)
The following information applies to the vehicle's front and rear seat belts.
- No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.
- Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
- Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
- Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
- The belt should never be twisted.
- Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
- When putting back the rear bench seat, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
- Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
- Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.
- Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
These are:
- pretensioners,
- chest and lap belt force limiters,
- air bags for driver and front passenger.
These systems are designed to operate independently or together in the event of a front, side or rear impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:
- seat belt locking;
- the lap belt pretensioner to keep the occupant in their seat, the low volume front air bag and the force limiter; – the large volume air bag.
Pretensioners
With the ignition switched on, if the vehicle is subjected to a significant frontal impact the system may, depending on the severity of impact, trigger piston 1 which instantly retracts the belt.
The pretensioners flatten the belt against the body, holding the occupant against the seat, thus improving the efficiency of the belt.
- Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.
- No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, air bags, computers, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.
- To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified personnel from an approved dealer may work on the pretensioner and air bag system.
- The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.
- When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and air bag gas generators.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Chest-level and lap belt load limiters
Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.
Air bags for driver and front passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is indicated by the word "Air bag" on the steering wheel and the dashboard (air bag zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, a label on the lower part of the windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
- an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger;
- an electronic unit for system monitoring which controls the gas generator electrical trigger system;
- a single warning light on the instrument panel.
- remote sensors.
The air bag system uses pyrotechnic principles. This explains why, when the air bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start) and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an air bag is required, it will inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, superficial grazing to the skin or other problems.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver's head and chest against the steering wheel and of the front passenger against the dashboard. The air bags then deflate immediately so that the passengers are not in any way hindered from leaving the vehicle.
Special feature of the front air bag
There are two volumes of operation depending on the severity of the impact:
- low volume air bag, this is the first stage of operation; – large volume air bag, the straps are torn in order to allow the air bag to inflate to a higher volume (in the event of more severe impacts).
Operating faults
Warning light 1 will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on and then go out after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or comes on when the engine is running, there is a fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
Warnings concerning the driver's air bag
- Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
- Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
- Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
- The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).
- When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on "Adjusting your driving position" in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
- Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
- Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
- The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).
- The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to Section 1 "Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag")
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS
Force limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.
– Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.
- No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (air bags, electronic control units, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.
- Only qualified personnel from our Network may work on the air bags; otherwise the system may trigger accidentally and cause injury.
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Side air bags
This air bag may be fitted to each of the front seats and is activated at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.
Curtain air bags
These air bags may be fitted along the top of each side of the vehicle and are triggered along the front and rear side windows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact.
Depending on the vehicle, a marking on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (air bags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.
These air bags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never insert any objects in slits.
Warnings concerning the side air bag
- Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved dealer to find out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.
- Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
- No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
- The area between the rear bench seatback and the trim is the area of air bag operation: no objects must be placed here.
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
All the warnings below are given so that air bag activation is not obstructed in any way and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
- No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
- To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel may work on the air bag system.
- As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
- When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver's handbook with the vehicle.
- When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children - and adults - must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.
Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to restrain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an approved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and follow its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.
For vehicles fitted with a TRIPTIC rear bench seat, configuring it as a 2-seater bench seat with the large section of the seatback folded down prevents the remaining place being used for fitting child seats using the vehicle seat belt, as it is not possible to fasten it (seat belt buckle inaccessible).
Set a good example by always fastening your seat belt and teaching your child:
- to strap themselves in correctly. - to always get in and out of the car at the kerb, away from busy traffic.
Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual.
Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation.
Driver's responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle
Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or by locking the doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)
Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, especially if asleep.
To prevent the doors being opened, use the "Child safety" device (refer to the information on "Opening
and closing the doors" in Section 1).
A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat
Rear-facing child seats
A baby's head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this position for as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck.
Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child's head is higher than the shell.
Forward-facing child seats
The child's head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward-facing child seat which is firmly attached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness or buckle for as long as their size permits. Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.
Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his/her size and shape. The booster seat cushion must be fitted with guides to position the seat belt on the child's thighs rather than the stomach. It is recommended that you use a seat-back fitted with a belt strap guide which can be adjusted in terms of height to position the seat belt in the centre of the shoulder. It must never rest on the neck or on the arm.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.
CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat mounting
There are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are respected.
Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.
Triptic rear bench seat
If the rear bench seat is in the two-seater position with the large section of the
seatback folded down, this prevents the remaining seat being used for the installation of a child seat using the vehicle seat belt, as it is not possible to fasten the seat belt (seat belt buckle not accessible).
Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it: the base of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.
The seat belt must never be twisted or have tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate normally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.
No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts, ISOFIX and seats or mountings) originally fitted.
Attachment with the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are approved in accordance with regulation ECE-R44 in one of the three following scenarios:
– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward-facing seat
- ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat - specific
For the latter two, check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings and, in some cases, a third ring.
Before using an ISOFIX child seat that you purchased for another vehicle, check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of vehicles which can be fitted with the seat with the equipment manufacturer.
CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat mounting (continued)
The two rings 1 are located between the seatback and the seat base of the seat and are identified by a marking.
To ensure your child seat can be easily fitted and locked on rings 1, use access guides 2 on the child seat.
The third ring is used to attach the upper belt on some child seats.
Depending on the vehicle, to attach the child seat belt 3:
- open the ring cover 5, - attach the hook 4 to the ring 5 located on the roof rear cross member
and marked by
- close the cover and tighten the belt. Do not change the position of the bench seat (if sliding) after tensioning the belt.
The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child seats with the ISOFIX
system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these fittings.
Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX fittings checked and replace your child seat.
CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/6)
Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagrams on the following pages show you how to attach a child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle
it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.
If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.
In the front seat
The laws concerning children travelling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagrams on the following pages.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):
– lower the seat belt as far as possible; - move the seat as far back as possible; - gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°); – on equipped vehicles, raise the seat base as far as possible.
Do not change these settings after the child seat is installed.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before
fitting a rear-facing child seat in this seat, check
that the air bag has been deactivated (refer to the information on "Deactivating the front passenger air bags" in Section 1).
In the rear side seat
Carrycots can only be fitted in the 3-seater position and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.
Push the vehicle seat fully forwards to install a rear-facing child seat, then push it back as far as possible without allowing it to make contact with the child seat. For the safety of the child in the forward-facing seat, do not move the seat in front back past the middle of the runner, do not tilt the seatback too far (maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as much as possible.
Always move the (sliding) bench seat back as far as possible. The floor support of the child seat should rest on the floor in accordance with the child seat instructions. A booster cushion may be fitted on the TRIPTIC bench seat, using the ISOFIX locks and the seat belt, in the 2-seater position only.
In rear centre seat
Seat limited to certain booster cushions available from an approved Dealer. Consult the booklet available from an approved Dealer.

TRIP COMPUTER: general information (2/2)
Resetting the trip mileage
With the "trip mileage recorder" selected on the display, press and hold button 2 or 3 until the mileage recorder is reset.
Resetting the journey parameters (reset button)
With one of the trip parameters selected on the display, press button 2 or 3 until the display is reset.
Interpreting some of the values displayed after resetting
The values showing average fuel consumption, range and average speed will become more stable and reliable the further you travel after pressing the reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing the reset button you may notice:
- that the range increases as you travel. This is normal, as average fuel consumption may decrease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating; - the engine reaches its operating temperature (if the engine was cold when reset button was pressed); - when driving from a built-up area onto the open road.
- You may also notice that the average fuel consumption increases when the vehicle is stationary and the engine idling.
This is normal, since the computer takes account of fuel used during idling.
Automatic resetting of the journey parameters
Resetting occurs automatically when the maximum value of any of the parameters is exceeded.

FUEL TANK (1/2)
Capacity of the fuel tank: approximately 49 litres.
To open compartment A, place your finger into recess 1, then pull the cover.
For details on filling the fuel tank, refer to the information on "Filling with fuel" on the next page.
A cap holder 2 is provided on the fuel filler flap for holding the cap when the tank is being filled.
After filling, check that the cap and cover are closed.
Fuel filler cap: this is of a special type.
If you have to replace it, make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an approved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a high-pressure washer.
Fuel grade
Use a high grade fuel that complies with the standards currently in force in each country.
Diesel version
It is essential to use diesel fuel that conforms with the information given on the label inside cover A.
Make sure that no water accidentally enters the fuel tank during filling. The shut-off system and its surrounding area must be dust-free.
Do not mix even small amounts of petrol (unleaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based fuel; our vehicle is not compatible with this type of fuel.
Do not add any additives to the fuel, as you risk damaging the engine.
FUEL TANK (2/2)
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must conform with the specifications given on the label inside fuel filler flap A. Refer to the information on "Engine specifications" in Section 6.
Special features of vehicles running on ethanol-based fuel:
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or fuel containing a maximum of 85% ethanol (E85).
To make it easier to start the engine in very cold conditions, it is recommended to use unleaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles, to use the heater integrated in the engine.
In this case, connect the special end of the extension piece supplied into the socket integrated into the radiator grille and the other end into a 220V socket for at least 6 hours before starting.
Note: when using ethanol-based fuel, you may notice over-consumption.
Filling up with fuel
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the antipollution system and may lead to a loss of warranty.
To ensure the fuel tank is not filled with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler neck contains a restrictor fitted with a foolproof system which only allows the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be used (at the pump):
- Insert the nozzle so that the valve is pushed back and fully insert it before beginning to fill the fuel tank, (risk of splash-back);
- Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling operation.
Petrol and diesel versions
When the pump cuts out automatically at the end of the filling procedure, a maximum of two further filling attempts may be made, as there must be sufficient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.
Persistent smell of fuel
If you notice a persistent smell of fuel you should:
- stop the vehicle as soon as traffic conditions allow and switch off the ignition;
- switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers to leave the vehicle and to keep away from traffic;
- contact an approved Dealer.
No modifications whatsoever are permitted on any part of the fuel supply system (computers, wiring,
fuel circuit, injector, protection covers, etc.) as this may be dangerous (such work must be undertaken by qualified Network personnel).

Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo, power-assisted steering, etc. and the passive safety devices such as air bags and pretensioners will no longer operate.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit; – using leaded petrol; – using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
- faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs resulting in the engine misfiring or cutting out when driving;
- loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and thus reduce its efficiency, or damage it irreparably and cause heat damage to the vehicle.
If you notice any of the above operating faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by an approved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to an approved Dealer at the intervals specified in the Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the start button, or by pushing or towing the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not keep trying to start the engine, but contact an approved Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection equipment which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.
If the message "Check anti-pollution system" is displayed on the instrument
panel accompanied by the 📄 and warning light; consult an approved dealer straight away.
When driving, depending on the fuel grade used, it is possible that white smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter being cleaned automatically, and does not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely drained, the system must be reprimed after the tank is refilled: see information on the "fuel tank" in section 1 before restarting the engine.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully charged, – always keep the diesel tank relatively full to avoid water vapour condensing in it and accumulating at the bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such as or leaves can come into with the hot exhaust system.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS FITTED WITH A PARTICLE FILTER
Depending on the vehicle, the warning light comes on to indicate a filter saturation risk.
Within 60 miles (100 km) of the message appearing, drive at an average speed of 24 mph (40 km/h), as traffic conditions and speed limits allow, until the warning light goes out. If the vehicle is stopped before the message disappears you will have to restart the process from the beginning.
As a guide, this type of cleaning should take up to 20 minutes.
If the message "Check antipollution" is displayed on the instrument panel accompanied by the 📄 and
warning lights; consult an approved dealer straight away.
Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible substances or materials such as leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.
When driving, depending on the fuel grade used, it is possible that white smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter being cleaned automatically, and does not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection equipment which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.
GEAR LEVER/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
Selecting reverse gear
Vehicles with manual gearbox: refer to the grid on the gear lever knob 1.
Vehicles with an automatic gearbox: refer to the information on the "Automatic gearbox" in Section 2.
The reversing lights will come on as soon as reverse gear is selected with the ignition on.
An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.
Power Assisted Steering
Never drive with an inadequately charged battery.
Variable power assisted steering
The variable power assisted steering system is equipped with an electronic control system which alters the level of assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst the force needed to steer increases progressively as the speed rises (for enhanced safety at high speeds).
Never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is stationary.
Never switch off the ignition when travelling downhill, and avoid doing so in normal driving (assistance is not provided).
HANDBRAKE
To release
Pull lever 1 up slightly, press button 2 and then lower the lever to the floor.
The red warning light on the instrument panel will stay on if you are driving with the handbrake not fully released.
Make sure that the hand-brake is properly released when driving (red indicator light off), otherwise over-, or even damage, may
To apply
Pull upwards. Check that the vehicle is immobilised.
When stationary and depending on the slope and/or vehicle load, it may be necessary to pull up the hand at least two extra notches and a gear (1st or reverse gear) classes with a manual gearbox on P for vehicles with an au-gearbox.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle conforms to current antipollution regulations. The manufacturer is actively striving to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy. But the fuel consumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are also your responsibility. Ensure that it is maintained and used correctly.
Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to optimise consumption, the trip computer and warning system will inform you of the best moment to upshift or downshift gears:
upshift a gear;
shift down a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manufacturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and checked by an approved dealer, in accordance with the instructions given in your maintenance schedule: they will have all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
- ignition: this does not require adjustment.
- spark plugs: for optimum fuel economy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle's engine. Contact an approved dealer for this.
– idling speed: this does not require adjustment. - air filter, diesel filter: a clogged element hinders performance. It must be replaced.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
Exhaust gas monitoring system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle's antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic substances may be released into the atmosphere or damage may occur.
This warning light on the instrument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system: This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out when the engine is started.
- If it lights up continuously, consult an approved Dealer as soon as possible;
- if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.
Driving
- Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is stationary.
- Speed is expensive.
- Do not overrev the engine in the intermediate gears. Always use the highest gear possible without labouring the engine. On versions with an automatic gearbox, it is preferable to keep the gear lever in position D.
- Avoid sudden acceleration.
- Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
- Brake as little as possible. If you anticipate an obstacle or bend in advance, you may then simply release the accelerator pedal.
- Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.
- Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary in modern vehicles. – Bad weather, flooded roads
Do not drive through floods if the water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.
Obstructions to the driver On the driver's side, only use mats adapted to the vehicle that attach to the pre-
installed parts, and regularly check their mounting. Do not place several mats on top of each other.
Risk of pedals jamming
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
- Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are not really needed. However (safety first), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad ("see and be seen").
- Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h) will increase fuel consumption by 4%.
- In vehicles fitted with air conditioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (especially in urban conditions) when it is used. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
- Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
- Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
- It is better to fit a trailer for bulky objects.
- When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
- Avoid using the vehicle for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature.
Tyres
- An under-inflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
- The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.
ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life: during production, use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the eco2 signature of the manufacturer.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at a factory which complies with a policy to reduce the environmental impact on the surrounding areas (reduction of water and energy consumption, visual and noise pollution, atmospheric emissions and waste water; sorting and reusing waste).
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) while in use, and therefore to consume less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a particle filter system including a catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the fuel tank being released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system also has a particle filter to reduce the volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own contribution towards protecting the environment too.
Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehicle battery, oil filter, air filter, batteries, etc.) and oil containers (empty or filled with used oil) must be disposed of through specialist organizations.
- At the end of the vehicle's service life, it should be sent to approved centers to ensure that it is recycled. In all cases, comply with local legislation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of the vehicle components have been designed to enable them to be recycled. The materials and structures have been carefully designed to allow these components to be easily removed and reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material resources, this vehicle incorporates numerous parts made from recycled plastics or renewable materials (vegetable or animal-derived materials such as cotton or wool).
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents the wheels from locking, allowing the stopping distance to be managed and keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehicle can be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst braking. In addition, this system can increase stopping distances, particularly on roads with low surface grip (wet ground, etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the brake pedal each time the system is activated. The ABS does not in any way improve the vehicle's physical performance relating to the road surface and roadholding. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance from the vehicle in front).
In an emergency, apply firm and continuous pressure to the brake pedal. There is no need to pump it repeatedly. The ABS will modulate the force applied in the braking system.
Operating faults:
If orange indicator lights (ABS) are displayed on the instrument panel when driving, braking safety is still guaranteed.
If warning lights (ABS), (!), STOP and the message "braking fault" are lit on the instrument panel, this indicates a fault with the braking system and ABS.
Your braking systems are partially operational. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact an approved dealer.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP (1/2)
This system helps to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving situations (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip when cornering, etc.) and works in conjunction with the understeer control system.
This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle measure the actual direction.
The system compares the direction selected by the driver and the actual direction of the vehicle and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power.
When the ESP function starts operating, warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompanied by the "traction control deselected" message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the ESP in the case of pronounced understeering (loss of front axle road holding).
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM: ESP (2/2)
Disabling the function
The function is deactivated by pressing switch 1; warning light A will come on to warn you that the system has been deactivated.
This action also deactivates the traction control mechanism: the message "ASR deselected" appears on the instrument panel. Refer to the information on "Traction control: ASR" in the following pages.
Correct this as soon as possible by pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automatically when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating fault the message "Check ESP" appears on the instrument panel along with the warning light and warning light A.
Consult your approved Dealer.
Deactivating the ASR function results in the ESP function being deactivated. Refer to the information on
the "Traction control: ASR" on the following pages.
TRACTION CONTROL: ASR (1/2)
This system helps to limit skidding on drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away or accelerating.
This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system measures and compares the speed of the drive wheels at all times and slows down their over-rotation.
If a wheel is starting to slip, the system brakes automatically until the drive supplied becomes compatible with the level of grip under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine speed to the grip available under the wheels, independently of the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function begins to operate, warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompanied by the "traction control deselected" message when the engine is started, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to reinitialise the system.
TRACTION CONTROL: ASR (2/2)
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very wet ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with snow chains fitted), the system may reduce the engine output to limit wheel-spin. If this is not required, it is possible to deactivate the function by pressing switch 1.
The "traction control deselected" message is displayed on the instrument panel along with warning light A to inform you.
Disabling the function also disables the ESP function.
Correct this as soon as possible by pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automatically when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function when travelling above a threshold of approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
Disabling the ASR function also disables the ESP function. Refer to the information on the "Electronic sta-
bility program: ESP" in the previous pages.
Operating faults
If the system detects an operating fault, the message "Check ESP" is displayed on the instrument panel display along with the warning light and warning light A.
Consult your approved Dealer.
This system is complementary to the ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping distances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emergency braking situation. In this case, the braking assistance immediately develops maximum power and may trigger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights activation
Depending on the vehicle, these may light up in the event of sudden deceleration.
This function is an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.
However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It does not increase the vehicle's limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: limiter function (1/3)
The speed limiter function helps you stay within the driving speed limit that you choose, known as the limit speed.
This may be useful, for example, driving in urban areas or areas with a speed restriction (roadworks), etc.
The system operates from a driving speed of about 18 mph (30 km/h).
Controls
1 Main "On/Off" switch. 2 Limit speed activation, storage and increase switch (+). 3 Limit speed activation, storage and decrease switch (-). 4 Switch the function to standby (with limit speed memorised (O)). 5 Stored limit speed activation, storage and recall (R).
Indicator light 6
This indicator light on the in-
strument panel lights up to indicate that the limiter function is in operation.
When the function is activated, the message "Limiter" appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: limiter function (2/3)
Switching on
Press switch 1 on the side showing
The indicator light on the instrument panel will come on.
Limiting the speed
At a steady speed (above 20 mph (30 km/h)), press switch 2 (+): the speed is stored.
The system is designed in such a way that it is possible to detect a difference between the programmed speed and the speed shown on the instrument panel.
Driving
When a limit speed has been stored, if this speed is not reached the vehicle behaves in a similar way to a vehicle without the speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored speed, no effort on the accelerator pedal will allow you to exceed the programmed speed except in an emergency (refer to information on "Exceeding the limit speed").
Varying the limit speed
You can vary the limit speed by pressing switch 2 repeatedly to increase the speed or switch 3 (-) to decrease it.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency
It is possible to exceed the limit speed at any moment. To do this: press the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (beyond the kickdown point).
Whilst the speed is being exceeded, the cruising speed displayed on the instrument panel flashes.
When the emergency has passed, release the accelerator pedal: the speed limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the limit speed before the emergency.
The speed limiter function is in no way linked to the braking system.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: limiter function (3/3)
Limit speed cannot be maintained
In some driving conditions (for example when driving up or down a steep gradient), the system is unable to maintain the limit speed: the stored speed on the instrument panel information display will flash to inform you of this situation.
Putting the function on standby
The speed limiter function is interrupted when you:
- press switch 4 (O);
- engage reverse gear.
In both cases, the speed is memorised and the speed displayed on the instrument panel appears in brackets to confirm the function is on standby.
The speed limiter function is in no way linked to the braking system.
Recalling the limit speed
A stored speed can be recalled by pressing switch 5 (R) until the message "Speed limiter" is displayed.
When the speed limiter is suspended, pressing switches 2 (+) or 3 (-) reactivates the function without taking into account the stored speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is interrupted when you press:
- switch 4 (O), in which case the limit speed remains stored and the message "Stored" appears on the instrument panel,
- switch 1, in which case the limit speed is no longer stored, and the indicator light on the instrument panel goes out to confirm that the function has been cancelled.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (1/4)
The cruise control function helps you to maintain your driving speed at a speed that you choose, called the cruising speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any speed above 18 mph (30 km/h).
The cruise control function is in no way linked to the braking system.
This function is an additional driving aid. However, the function does not take the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circumstances replace the driver's responsibility to respect speed limits and to be vigilant (the driver must always be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in heavy traffic, on winding or slippery roads (black ice, aquaplaning, gravel) and during bad weather (fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
Controls
1 Main On/Off switch. 2 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+). 3 Cruising speed activation, storage and decrease switch (-). 4 Switch the function to standby (with cruising speed memorised (O)). 5 Cruising speed storage and recall switch (R).
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (2/4)
Switching on
Press switch 1 on the side showing
The corresponding warning light on the instrument panel comes on to indicate that the cruise control function is in operation.
When the function is activated, the message "Cruise control" appears on the instrument panel accompanied by dashes.
Activating cruise control
At a steady speed (above 20 mph (30 km/h)), press switch 2 (+) or 3 (-): the function is activated and the speed is stored.
When the cruise control function is activated, the indicator light on the instrument panel is surrounded by a border.
When activated, the indicator light on the instrument panel is surrounded by a border.
Once a cruising speed is stored and the cruise control function is active, you may lift your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Once a cruising speed is stored and the cruise control function is active, you may lift your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Important: you are nevertheless advised to keep your feet close to the pedals in order to react if necessary.
The system is designed in such a way that it is possible to detect a difference between the programmed speed and the speed shown on the instrument panel.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
The cruising speed may be changed by pressing repeatedly or continuously on:
The cruising speed may be changed by pressing repeatedly or continuously on:
- switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
- switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
Exceeding the cruising speed
In the event of an emergency
The cruising speed may be exceeded at any time by depressing the accelerator pedal. While the speed is being exceeded, the cruising speed displayed on the instrument panel flashes.
Then, release the accelerator: the vehicle will automatically return to its set cruising speed.
Unable to maintain the speed selected
In some driving conditions (for example when driving up or down a steep gradient), the system is unable to maintain the set speed: the speed on the instrument panel information display will flash to inform you of this situation.
The cruise control function is in no way linked to the braking system.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the function on standby
The function is interrupted when you:
- switch 4 (O),
- depress the brake pedal,
- the clutch pedal or shift into neutral if the vehicle has an automatic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed remains stored and the message "stored" appears on the instrument panel.
Recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been stored, it is possible to recall it by pressing switch 5 (R) (the "Cruise control" message appears on the instrument panel) on condition that you are driving faster than 18 mph (30 km/h) and that you are sure that the driving conditions are suitable (traffic, road surface condition, weather conditions, etc.).
Note: if the speed previously stored is much higher than the current speed, the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control is suspended, pressing switches 2 (+) or 3 (-) reactivates the function without taking into account the stored speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account.
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deactivated if you press switch 1: in this case a speed is no longer stored.
The instrument panel indicator light goes out, confirming that the function is stopped.
Putting the cruise control on standby or switching it off does not cause a rapid reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake pedal.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (1/4)
Selector lever 1
Display A on the instrument panel shows the mode and gear selected.
P: park R: reverse N: neutral D: automatic mode (in forwards gear only) 3: displays gear engaged in manual mode.
Operation
With gear lever 1 in position P or N, switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must depress the brake pedal whilst simultaneously pressing unlocking button 2.
With your foot on the brake pedal (warning light 4 goes out), shift from position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehicle is stopped, with your foot on the brake and the accelerator pedal released.
Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In most traffic conditions, you will not have to touch the gear selector lever again: the gears will change automatically at the right time and at the most suitable engine speed because the automatic system takes into account the vehicle load and road contour and adjusts itself to the particular driving style you have chosen.
If the driver's door is open or not properly closed when the gear lever is in position D and the vehicle is moving, a beep sounds.
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in position D, keeping the accelerator pedal lightly depressed to ensure automatic gear changes at comparatively low engine speeds.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/4)
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (so that it goes beyond the kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down to the optimum gear within the engine range.
Driving in manual mode
With selector lever 1 in position D, pull the lever to the left (changing gear using the lever).
Changing gear using the lever
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you to change gears manually:
- To move down through the gears, push the lever backwards;
- To move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the instrument panel.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.: engine protection, operation of the electronic stability program: ESP), the automated system may change the gear automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeuvres, a gear change may be refused by the automatic system: in this case the gear display flashes for a few seconds as a warning.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/4)
Special circumstances
- Snow position: if you are driving on ground where you are likely to skid (snow, mud, etc.), press switch 4, and operating tell-tale 5 will come on.
Once these special driving conditions no longer apply, exit this function by pressing switch 4 again. Operating tell-tale light 5 goes out.
- If the bends and road surface do not allow you to stay in automatic mode (eg. in the mountains), we recommend that you change to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gearbox from changing gear repeatedly when climbing, and permit engine braking on long descents.
- In cold weather, start the engine and wait a few seconds before moving the selector lever from position P or N and engaging it in D or R to prevent the engine stalling.
24491
- Vehicles not fitted with traction control: on a slippery surface or surface with a low level of adhesion, select second gear manually before starting the engine to avoid wheel-spin when starting.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the lever to position P while keeping your foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is in neutral and the drive wheels are mechanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
An impact to the underside of the vehicle while reversing (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street
furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of the rear axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (4/4)
Operating faults
- When driving, if the message "Check gearbox" and the warning light appear on the instrument panel, this indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible.
- When driving, if the message "Gearbox overheating" appears on the instrument panel, drive at a moderate speed and avoid leaving the lever in the D (or R) position, where traffic conditions allow: always return to the N position when you stop.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible.
- If a vehicle with an automatic gearbox breaks down, refer to the information on "Towing" in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked in position P even though you are depressing the brake pedal, the lever can be released manually. To do this, unclip the base of the lever, press recess 6, visible on the gear lever gaiter, and unlocking button 2 on the lever.

- Release the brake pedal then accelerate gently to move backwards.
When the vehicle is stationary, push the selector lever towards the front to engage a forwards gear.
Shifting to neutral
With the brake pedal depressed (indicator light 4 will come on if you forget), push the lever towards the right.
Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on, automatic mode is selected by default (letter A on the display).
The vehicle is controlled using the accelerator and the brake.
Gears will change automatically at the correct moment and at a suitable engine speed because automatic mode takes into consideration the road surface and the chosen driving style.
You may change the gear selection made by the automatic system (unless this risks the engine being overrevved or underrevved):
- by pushing the lever forwards or backwards,
- or, depending on the vehicle, by using the paddles (refer to the next page).
QUICKSHIFT GEARBOX (3/5)
Changing mode
You can change mode at any time by pushing the lever to the left. This switches mode without changing gear.
Driving in manual mode
Using the selector lever
Pushing the lever repeatedly allows you to change gears manually.
- to change up a gear: push the lever forwards
- to change down a gear: push the lever backwards
- to change to neutral: with the brake pedal depressed (indicator light 4 will come on if you forget), push the lever towards the right
Note: when the vehicle is stationary (braking, red light, etc.), the system automatically switches to the most suitable gear.
If the engine is being overrevved or underevved, the system will select the optimal gear.
Accelerating and overtaking
To obtain maximum vehicle performance, in automatic or manual mode selected, quickly depress the accelerator pedal beyond the kickdown point.
This will activate the kickdown function allowing you to change down to the most suitable gear.
Parking
To park the vehicle with a gear engaged (on a slope, for example): before switching off the engine, check that a gear other than N is displayed on the instrument panel.
The next time the engine is started, depress the brake pedal. The vehicle will then automatically change to neutral (letter N on the display).
Audible warning
If you leave the vehicle with the engine running when in gear, an audible warning will sound. You must switch to neutral before leaving the vehicle.
Special circumstances
Snow mode
If you are driving on ground where you are likely to skid (snow, mud, etc.), press switch A. Operating tell-tale 5 lights up on the instrument panel.
Once these special driving conditions no longer apply, exit this function by pressing the switch again. The operating tell-tale light goes out.
Selecting snow position activates automatic mode. If you switch to manual mode, it will be deactivated.
Note: snow mode is deselected every time the engine is switched off.
QUICKSHIFT GEARBOX (5/5)
Operating faults
"Check gearbox"
If, when driving, the message "check gearbox" and the warning light appear on the instrument panel, this indicates a fault.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as possible.
"Gearbox overheating"
If you keep the vehicle on a slope for too long without applying the brakes or handbrake, the message "gearbox overheating" will appear along with the warning light.
Depress the brake pedal or apply the handbrake.
The vehicle will not start
If you cannot start the engine and if the battery is not discharged (display lit up):
- switch on the ignition,
- select neutral,
- push the vehicle or roll it down a sufficiently steep slope. Then push the selector lever forwards.
The optimum gear for starting the engine will then be automatically selected.
Note: never attempt this manoeuvre in reverse.
Towing the vehicle
Refer to the information on "Towing: breakdown" in Section 5.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehicle's rear bumper, measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle when reversing.
This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 30 centimetres from the obstacle.
There is a beep when changing to reverse gear.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver's care or responsibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents during driving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeuvring.
Temporary deactivation of the system
Press switch 1 to deactivate the system.
The indicator light built into the switch lights up to remind you that the system is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will reactivate the system and switch off the indicator light.
The system is automatically reactivated after the ignition is switched off and the engine restarted.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (continued)
Prolonged deactivation of the system
You can deactivate the system permanently by pressing switch 1 and holding it down for approximately three seconds.
The indicator light built into the switch remains lit constantly.
Once deactivated, the system can be reactivated by pressing the button again for longer than approximately three seconds.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating fault there will be a 5-second, continuous warning beep when reverse gear is selected. Consult an approved Dealer.
An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: deformation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (4/4)
Air recirculation operation (isolation of the passenger compartment)
Turn control D towards the symbol for air recirculation: air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recycled, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation is for:
- isolating the vehicle from the external atmosphere (driving in polluted areas, etc.);
- bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly as possible.
Prolonged use of this position can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen, and problems due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment.
We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer required, by turning control D again.

Ambient temperature: automatic mode (continued)
Operation
To reach and keep the chosen comfort level and to maintain good visibility, the system controls:
- ventilation speed;
- air distribution; – air recirculation management; – air conditioning start/stop;
- air temperature.
The displayed temperature values show a comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in cold or hot weather, increasing or decreasing the values displayed does not mean that the temperature level is reached more quickly (the system optimises the temperature increase or decrease whatever the air temperature indicated). The ventilation does not start immediately at maximum power but increases progressively: this may take between a few seconds and several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is a particular fault, the dashboard air vents should remain open.
Adjusting automatic mode
The automatic mode is the system's normal operating mode (AUTO light on) but you may alter the selections made by the system (air distribution, etc.).
These options are explained on the following pages.
This is the recommended mode of use: the automatic heating and air conditioning system guarantees comfort (except in the event of extreme conditions) in the passenger compartment and good visibility while optimising consumption.

Air recirculation mode
Pressing button 14 activates air recirculation (the symbol lights up on the display).
During recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recycled, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driving in polluted areas, etc.).
Prolonged use of this position may lead to odours, caused by non-renewal of air, and the formation of condensation on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air or automatic recirculation) as soon as air recirculation is no longer needed, by pressing button 14.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in town) when the air conditioning is operating. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for the inspection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your approved Dealer in the event of an operating fault.
- Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance. This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge becoming clogged.
- No cold air is being produced. Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.
Note
Presence of water under the vehicle. After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the vehicle. This is caused by condensation.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is normal to top up the level between oil changes.
However, contact an approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the running in period.
Check the oil level at regular intervals and before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the vehicle on level ground, after the engine has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read the exact oil level and make sure that the maximum level has not been exceeded (risk of engine damage). Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only alerts the driver when the oil level is at its minimum.
Minimum oil level warning on instrument panel

To gain a more precise indication, press the information scroll button on the trip computer.
The squares which appear on the display indicate the level. They disappear as the oil level drops and they are replaced by a dash.
To advance to trip computer reading, press the button again.
If the level is at the minimum: the message "Top up oil level" will appear on the display, the squares are replaced by dashes (message 2) and the warning light 📁 on the instrument panel comes on.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as possible.
The display only warns the driver if the oil level is at the minimum level. It does not inform the driver that the oil
level has exceeded the maximum level as this can only be measured using a dipstick.

- remove the dipstick (refer to the following pages for information on its location);
- wipe the dipstick using a clean, lint-free cloth;
- Push the dipstick in as far as it will go (for vehicles equipped with "cap-type dipstick" C, screw the cap in completely);
- Take out the dipstick again;
- Read the level: it should never fall below minimum mark A or exceed maximum mark B.
Once the level has been checked, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go or that the cap-type dipstick is completely screwed in.
Exceeding the maximum engine oil level
The oil level should only be read with the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum level, do not start your vehicle and contact an approved Dealer.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved Dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.
In order to prevent splashback, it is recommended that a funnel be used when topping up/filling with oil.
Under no circumstances should maximum filling level B be exceeded: this could damage the engine catalytic converter.
The engine may be hot when carrying out operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment. Injury.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (1/2)
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should be cold (for instance, before the engine is started up for the first time in the day).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for information regarding which grade of oil to use.
Do not exceed the max level and do not forget to refit cap 1 and dipstick 2.
- Unscrew cap 1;
- top up the level (as a guide, the capacity between the minimum and maximum reading on the dipstick 2 is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending on the engine);
- wait for approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
- check the level using the dipstick 2 (as described above).
Once the operation has been completed, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go or that the cap is completely screwed in.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the exterior of the vehicle regularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very effective anti-corrosion products. It is nevertheless subject to various outside influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
– atmospheric pollution (built-up and industrial areas), – saline atmospheres (near the sea, particularly in hot weather), – seasonal and damp weather conditions (e.g. road salt in winter, water from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor precautions in order to safeguard your vehicle against such risks.
What you should not do
Do not degrease or clean mechanical components (e.g. the engine compartment), underneath the body, parts with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and painted plastic external fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high-pressure cleaning equipment or by spraying on products not approved by our Technical Department. Doing this could give rise to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor impacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by our Technical Department to remove stains as this could damage the paint-work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy conditions without washing the vehicle, particularly under the wheel arches and body.
You should
Wash your car frequently, with the engine off, using cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer (never use abrasive products). Rinse thoroughly beforehand with a jet:
- spots of tree resin and industrial grime;
- mud in the wheel arches and underneath the body, which forms damp patches;
- bird droppings, which cause a chemical reaction with the paint that rapidly discolours paintwork and may even cause the paint to peel off; wash the vehicle immediately to remove these marks since it is impossible to remove them by polishing;
- salt, particularly in the wheel arches and underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads have been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves, etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g., do not wash your vehicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances when driving on gravelled surfaces to prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas where the paint has been damaged, to prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop periodically in order to maintain your anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechanical components, hinges, etc., spray them with products approved by our Technical Department to protect them after they have been cleaned.
We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from the manufacturer's accessory outlets.
Vehicles with a matte paint finish
This type of paint requires certain precautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing); - rub hard; - wash the vehicle in a roller-type car wash; - wash the vehicle using a high-pressure device; - attach stickers to the paintwork (risk of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle sponge.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to the Park position (refer to the information on the "Windscreen washer, wiper" in Section 1). Check the mounting of external accessories, additional lights and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper blades are secured with adhesive tape. Remove the radio aerial mast if your vehicle is fitted with this equipment. Remember to remove the tape and refit the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic "glass", use a soft cloth or cotton wool to clean them. If this does not clean them properly, moisten the cloth with soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool. Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.
Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the interior of the vehicle regularly.
A stain should always be dealt with swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use cold (or warm) soapy water with natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, powdered products, alcohol-based products) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
Glass instrument panel
(e.g., instrument panel, clock, exterior temperature display, radio display, etc.)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.
Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used under any circumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical Department (Approved outlets) or warm, soapy water and a sponge and wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used under any circumstances.
Textiles (seats, door trim, etc.)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth, rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or pasty material immediately with a spatula (working from the edges to the centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
For further recommendations for maintaining the interior, and/or for any unsatisfactory results, please see an authorised dealer.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)
Removal/replacing removable equipment originally fitted in the vehicle
If you need to remove equipment in order to clean the passenger compartment (for example, mats), always ensure that they are correctly refitted and are the right way around (the driver's mat should be fitted on the driver's side, etc.) and fit them with the components supplied with the equipment (for example, the driver mat should always be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting components).
With the vehicle stationary, ensure that nothing will impede driving (anything obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by the mat, etc.).
You should not:
You are strongly advised not to position objects such as deodorants, scents, etc. near air vents, as this could damage your dashboard trim.
You are strongly recommended not to use high-pressure or spray cleaning equipment inside the passenger compartment: use of such equipment could impair the correct functioning of the electrical or electronic components in the vehicle, or have other detrimental effects.

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/4)
In the event of a puncture, depending on the vehicle, you will have:
An emergency spare wheel or tyre inflation kit (refer to the information on the following pages).
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the four other wheels:
- Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
- Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the same dimensions as the original.
- When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.
- Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cornering.
- If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (2/4)
The emergency spare wheel is located underneath the vehicle.
- Open the tailgate;
- Lift carpet 1 and place it against the back of the rear bench seat;
- Lift cover 2, then remove it;
- Take out the tool kit, lifting it by both handles 3.
Label A reminds you of how to operate the emergency spare wheel winch.
Unscrew nut 4 in an anti-clockwise direction until it comes off completely, then place the palm of your hand on section B of handle 5 and push towards the front of the vehicle. The wheel will be lowered.
When you push handle 5, the wheel will drop under the vehicle; risk of injury.
Ensure that everybody is kept away from the underside of the vehicle.
Pull the wheel towards you, lay the wheel down flat and unfasten cable 6 from its housing 7; – depending on the vehicle, remove shim 8.
You may remove the wheel from its support.
Do not touch the exhaust as it could burn.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (3/4)
To refit a wheel
To carry out this operation, the cable must be unwound.
If the cable has been wound back up on its own, unwind it again as follows:
– Pull the handle to unwind the cable, - press the button located under handle 5 to hold the unwound cable, then guide it down; – recover the cable from underneath the vehicle; - attach the cable end piece to the wheel support.
You may refit the wheel.
After changing a wheel, position the replaced wheel on support 9, with the valve facing the ground. Depending on the vehicle, reposition shim 8. Clip cable 6 into housing 7, then push the wheel underneath the luggage compartment (tab 10 towards the rear of the vehicle).
Make sure that no one has their fingers close to the cable when you move the handle. Risk of injury.
Position yourself behind the vehicle and pull handle 5 to raise the wheel until it is anchored under the vehicle.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (4/4)
To lock the system:
- press nut 4, screwing it on fully until it locks in place. Several turns will be necessary. This operation is essential to ensure that the wheel is secure; – return handle 5 to its original position;
- clip on the tool kit;
- replace the cover then lower it and replace the luggage compartment carpet.
Note: if the tool kit does not lock in place, check the tightness of nut 4 and the correct positioning of handle 5.
Special features
The emergency spare wheel holder should always be present when you are driving even when the wheel itself is not present: risk of water entering the vehicle.
If you have to release it when it is not holding a wheel, push the centre of the wheel holder towards the ground while pressing handle 4.
It is essential to lock the nut so that the wheel is held securely.
As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, when you place the punctured wheel in the emergency spare wheel bay, the vehicle's ground clearance is reduced. To prevent damage, proceed carefully when driving over raised sections of road and when dismounting pavements. When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel. Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the same dimensions as the original.
The system should only be used with the original vehicle wheels.
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)
32788
The kit repairs tyres when tread A has been damaged by objects smaller than 4 mm. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre sidewall B.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body causing the puncture if it is still in the tyre.
Do not attempt to use the inflation kit if the tyre has been damaged as a result of driving with a puncture.
You should therefore carefully check the condition of the tyre sidewalls before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or punctured tyres can be dangerous and may make the tyre impossible to repair.
This repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected (and repaired, where possible) as soon as possible by a specialist.
When taking a tyre which has been repaired using this kit to be replaced, you must inform the specialist.
When driving, vibration may be felt due to the presence of the repair product injected into the tyre.
The kit is only approved for inflating the tyres of the vehicle originally equipped with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate the tyres of another vehicle, or any other inflatable object (rubber ring, rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when handling the repair liquid bottle. If droplets do leak out, rinse them off with plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from children.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle in the countryside. Return it to your approved dealer or to a recycling organisation.
The bottle has a limited service life which is indicated on its label. Check the expiry date.
Contact an approved dealer to replace the inflation tube and repair product bottle.
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event of a puncture, use the kit located underneath the luggage compartment carpet.
Before using this kit, park the vehicle at a sufficient distance from traffic, switch on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all passengers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.
With the engine running and the parking brake applied,
– unroll the hose from the container; – connect the compressor hose 4 to the container's inlet 6; – depending on the vehicle, connect the container 6 to the compressor from the container recess 7; – unscrew the valve cap on the relevant wheel and screw on the container's inflation adapter 2; – adapter 3 must be connected to the vehicle accessories socket; – press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (please refer to the information on "Tyre pressure");
- After a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on pressure gauge 6). NB: while the container is emptying (approximately 30 seconds), the pressure gauge 3 will briefly indicate a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pressure will then drop.
- Adjust the pressure: to increase, continue inflation with the kit; to reduce, press button 1 located on the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached after 15 minutes, repair is not possible; do not drive the vehicle but contact an approved dealer.
If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle's presence
with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated, remove the kit: slowly unscrew the inflation adapter 2 to prevent any repair product from escaping and store the container in plastic packaging to prevent the product from escaping.
Nothing should be placed around the driver's feet as such objects may slide under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and obstruct their use.
- Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can easily be seen by the driver;
- Put the kit away.
- At the end of this initial inflation operation, air will still escape from the tyre. You must drive a short distance in order to seal the hole.
- Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 40 mph (20 and 60 km/h) in order to distribute the product evenly in the tyre and, after driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and check the pressure.
- If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended pressure (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver's door), readjust it. Otherwise, please contact an authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.
Precautions when using the kit
The kit should not be operated for more than 15 consecutive minutes.
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and may cause pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them fully.
Following repair with the kit, do not travel further than 120 miles (200 km). In addition, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed 48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which you must affix in a prominent position on the dashboard, reminds you of this.
Depending on the country or local legislation, a tyre repaired with the inflation kit may need to be replaced.
TOOL KIT
Tool kit A is located in the luggage compartment.
To access the tools, lift the luggage compartment carpet, lift the cover and remove it.
Take out the tool kit, lifting it at both ends.
To return it, proceed in the reverse order to removal.
The tools included in the tool kit depend on the vehicle.
Storage compartment 1
This is for storing a box of bulbs.
Storage compartment 2
This is for storing a lock nut.
Wheelbrace 3
This is used to tighten or release the wheel bolts.
Towing hitch 4
Refer to the information on the "Towing: breakdown" in Section 5.
Hubcap tool 5 or 6
This tool is used to remove the wheel trims.
Jack 7
When replacing the jack, fold it up completely and replace it in its position.
Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come loose under braking. After use,
check that all the tools are correctly clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctly in its housing: there is a risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, only use these bolts for the emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances should it be used for carrying out repairs underneath the vehicle or to gain access to the underside of the vehicle.
WHEEL TRIMS - WHEEL
Wheel trim (example: wheel trim 1)
Remove the wheel trim using hubcap tool 2 (located in the tool kit) by engaging the hook in the opening near valve 3.
To refit it, align it with valve 3. Push the retaining hooks in fully, starting with side A near the valve, followed by B and C, finishing at D opposite the valve.
Central wheel trim (example: wheel trim 4)
Remove the wheel trim using the hubcap tool 6 (located in the tool kit) inserting the tool 6 into the recess 5.
To refit it, position it in line with recess 5 and tighten it with tool 6.
We would advise you to note down the number engraved on the tool so that you can replace it if it is lost.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Switch on the hazard warning lights.
Keep the vehicle away from traffic and on a level sur-
face where it will not slip (if necessary, place a solid support under the jack base).
Apply the handbrake and engage a gear (first or reverse, or P for automatic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.
Vehicles equipped with a jack and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
- Unlock the wheel bolts using wheel-brace 4. Position it so as to be able to push from above;
- crank up jack 1 by hand to position the jack head against jacking point 3 closest to the wheel concerned and, depending on the vehicle, marked by an arrow 2.
- continue to crank the jack so that the baseplate is correctly positioned (it should be underneath the vehicle and aligned with jack head A);
- turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts off the ground;
If the vehicle is not equipped with a jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain these from your approved dealer.
To prevent any risk of injury or damage to the vehicle, only crank the jack until the wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the ground.
CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
- undo the bolts and take off the wheel;
- fit the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to align the mounting holes in the wheel and the hub;
- tighten the bolts and lower the jack;
- with the wheel on the ground, tighten the screws as fully as possible and check the tightness as soon as possible (tightening torque 105 N.m).
If you have a puncture, replace the wheel as soon as possible.
A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected (and repaired, where possible) by a specialist.
Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these nearest the valve (otherwise it may not be possible to fit the wheel trim).
If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle's presence
with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.
TYRES (1/3)
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road traffic regulations.
When they need to be replaced, 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 recommended by your approved dealer.
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition and have sufficient depth to the tread. Tyres approved by our Technical Department have wear warning strips 1 in the form of raised strips moulded into the tread at several points.
When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the wear indicators, they become visible 2: it is then necessary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is no more than 1.6 mm deep, resulting in poor roadholding on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when driving, such as striking the kerb, may damage the tyres and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the front or rear axle geometry. In this case, have the condition of these checked by an approved dealer.
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures must be adhered to (remember to check the emergency spare wheel at the same time). Inflation pressures must be checked at least once a month and always before a long journey (refer to the information on "Tyre pressures").
Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wear and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead to:
– poor road holding, – the risk of blow-outs or of throwing a tread.
The pressure depends on the load and the speed of use. Adjust the pressures according to the conditions of use (refer to the information on “Tyre pressures”).
Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, the normal pressures must be increased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 psi).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note: a label (depending on country or model) fixed to the edge or frame of the driver's door gives the recommended tyre pressures.
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them fully.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the "Emergency spare wheel" and instructions on "Changing a wheel" in Section 5.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this operation must be carried out by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may affect your vehicle as follows:
- It may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regulations;
- It may change the way it handles when cornering;
- It may cause the steering to be heavy; – It may cause tyre noise;
- It may affect the use of snow chains.
TYRES (3/3)
Use in winter
- Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow chains to the rear axle is strictly forbidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle.
Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.
Chains may be fitted, provided that they are specific chains. We would advise you to consult an approved dealer.
- Snow or winter tyres
We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum adhesion.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/3)
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Ensure that all electrical equipment is switched off before disconnecting or reconnecting the battery.
- When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
- Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals.
- Wait at least 20 seconds after switching off the engine to disconnect the battery.
- Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.
Access to the battery
Depending on the vehicle, unclip then pull unit A in the engine compartment.
Unclip cover B and remove it. Then unclip cover C and remove it.
Refitting the battery covers
- Position cover C in its hinges and clip it in place.
- Position cover B in its hinges and clip it in place.
Check that the two covers B and C are correctly locked.
Depending on the vehicle, reposition unit A, tilting it forwards, then clip it in place by tilting it backwards. Check that it is correctly locked.
Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must not come into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.
Take care when working in the engine compartment as the engine cooling fan may start to operate at any moment without warning, which may cause serious injury.
BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/3)
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be compatible with a battery with a nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then disconnect both battery leads starting with the negative terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.
Only a fully charged and well-maintained battery will have a long and useful life and enable you to start the vehicle's engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and dry.
Have the battery's charge status checked regularly:
- Especially if you use your vehicle for short journeys or for frequent driving in town.
- When the exterior temperature drops (in winter), the charge decreases. In winter, only use electrical equipment which is really necessary.
- Finally, you should understand that the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain permanent electrical consumers such as the clock, after-sales accessories, etc.
When many accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to the + after ignition feed. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Contact your approved dealer.
If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, particularly during cold weather. It will then be necessary, with the engine running, to move the steering wheel slowly, from lock to lock and to reprogram the electronic equipment with a memory feature, radio, etc. The battery should be stored in a cool and dry location protected from frost.
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your approved Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
Risk of serious injury.
BATTERY: troubleshooting (3/3)
Starting the vehicle using the battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting your vehicle from another vehicle's battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (large) from an approved Dealer or, if you already have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an identical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the discharged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supplying the current and run it at an intermediate engine speed.
Attach the positive lead A to the (+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery, then to the (+) terminal 2 of the battery supplying the current.
Attach the negative lead B to the (-) terminal 3 of the battery supplying the current, then to the (-) terminal 4 of the discharged battery.
Start the engine as you would normally. As soon as it is running, disconnect leads A and B in the reverse order (4-3-2-1).
Check that there is no contact between leads A and B and that the positive lead A is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
