1.14

Operating faults

Lift handle 1 to release. Release the handle once the seat is in the correct position and ensure that the seat is fully locked into position.

To raise or lower the seat base

Move lever 2 as many times as necessary upwards or downwards.

5

To adjust the lumbar support on the driver’s seat

Lower handle 5 to increase the support and lift to decrease it.

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.

1.17

SEAT BELTS (1/3)

Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.

Make sure that the rear bench seat is securely locked in position so that the rear seat belts will operate efficiently. Please refer to the information on the “Rear bench seat” in

Section 3.

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.

Before starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all occupants to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection.

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 the maximum safety, your head must be as close as possible to the headrest;

– 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.

Rear seat belt guide

Depending on the vehicle, Seat belt guide 7 can be used to obtain a better seat belt position.

– 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, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.

– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

1.20

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/3)

Depending on the vehicle, they are composed of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretensioners;

– chest-level load limiters;

– air bags for driver and front passenger.

These systems are designed to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:

– seat belt locking;

– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt slack);

– the air bags.

1

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body, holding the occupant more securely against the seat, thus increasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

In the event of a severe frontal impact and if the ignition is switched on, the system may engage the following depending on the force of the impact: the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1 which instantly retracts the seat 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.

1.21

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3)

Load 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.

A

Air bags for driver and front passenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.

The presence of this equipment is indicated by the word “Airbag” on the steering wheel and the dashboard (air bag zone A ) and a label on the lower part of the windscreen or on the sun visor.

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 instrument panel.

å

on the

The air bag system uses pyrotechnic principles. This explains why, when the air bag inflates, it will generate 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.

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 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.

1.22

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3)

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 REAR-FACING 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”)

1.23

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.

1.24

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags

These air bags are fitted to the front seats and are 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 are air bags fitted along the sides of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger along the front and rear side windows to protect the passengers in case of a severe side impact.

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 (and 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.

Depending on the vehicle, a marking on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.

1.25

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

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.

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).

Operating faults

This warning light

å

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 come on when the ignition is switched on, or if it comes on when the engine is running, there is a fault with the system (air bags, pretensioners, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.

Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.

1.26

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.

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 fourthfloor 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.

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.

1.27

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

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 respect its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.

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.

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.

1.28

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 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 seatback 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.

1.29

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child and baby seat mounting (1/2)

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.

Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.

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 the 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.

Attachment using 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 forwardfacing 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.

No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system

(ISOFIX seat belts, seats and their mountings) originally fitted.

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 from the equipment manufacturer.

1.30

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 anchorage points.

Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage points checked and replace your child seat.

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 strap on some child seats.

Pass the belt between the seatback and the rear parcel shelf (to release the bench seat: refer to Section 3 “Rear bench seat”). Attach the hook to one of the rings 3 in the luggage compartment.

Pull the belt so that the back of the child seat comes into contact with the vehicle seatback.

1.31

CHILD SAFETY: Fitting a child seat (1/13)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the following page shows 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.

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 diagram on the following page.

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.

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.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before fitting a rear-facing child seat to this seat, check that the air bag has been deactivated (refer to the information on

“Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in

Section 1).

In the rear side seat

A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.

Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will go, although without allowing it to come into 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.

Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehicle seat and that the headrest of the vehicle is not obstructing its use.

Ensure that the child seat or the child’s feet do not prevent the front seat from locking correctly. Refer to the information on the “Front seat” in Section 1.

FUEL TANK (2/3)

Vehicles running on ethanol-based fuel

It is essential to use unleaded petrol or fuel containing a maximum of 85% ethanol (E85).

In very cold conditions, it may be very difficult or even impossible to start the engine. To avoid this problem, use unleaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles, use the heater integrated in the engine: 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.

NB: You may notice an increase in fuel consumption with this type of fuel.

Do not mix even small amounts of petrol (unleaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based fuel if your vehicle is not compatible with this fuel.

Do not add any additives to the fuel, you risk damaging the engine.

Filling with fuel

Insert the nozzle to open valve D (depending on the vehicle) and insert it fully before activating it to fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).

Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling operation.

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.

Make sure that no water enters the fuel tank during filling. Valve D (depending on the vehicle) and its surrounding area must be kept clean.

Petrol versions

Using leaded petrol will damage the antipollution system and may lead to a loss of warranty.

To ensure that 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).

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.

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.

Make sure that the handbrake is properly released when driving (red indicator light off), otherwise overheating may occur.

When stationary and depending on the slope and/or vehicle load, it may be necessary to pull up the handbrake at least two extra notches and engage a gear (1 st or reverse gear) for vehicles with a manual gearbox or position P for vehicles with an automatic transmission.

ASSISTED PARKING BRAKE (3/3)

Versions with an automatic gearbox

For safety reasons, automatic release is deactivated when the driver’s door is open or not shut properly and the engine is running (in order to prevent the vehicle from moving without the driver). The

“Release parking brake manually” message appears on the instrument panel when the driver depresses the accelerator.

Operating faults

warning

Contact an approved dealer as soon as possible.

– If there is an electronic parking brake fault, warning lights ® light up accompanied by the “Parking brake fault” message, a beep and in certain cases indicator light

}

.

This means that you must stop as soon as traffic conditions allow.

Never leave your vehicle without moving the selector lever to position P or N .

This is because when the vehicle is stationary with the engine running and a gear engaged, the vehicle may begin to move if you accelerate.

There is a risk of accidents.

If no lights or sounds are apparent, this indicates a fault in the instrument panel. This indicates that it is essential to stop immediately (as soon as traffic conditions allow). Ensure that the vehicle is correctly immobilised and contact an approved dealer.

It is therefore essential to immobilise the vehicle by engaging first gear (manual gearbox) or position P (automatic gearbox). If the slope requires it, chock the vehicle.

2.13

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)

Your vehicle complies with criteria for recycling and recovering vehicles at the end of their service life which will come into force in 2015.

Some parts of your vehicle have therefore been designed to facilitate future recycling.

These parts are easy to remove so that they can be recovered and reprocessed by recycling companies.

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle also 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, an indicator light on the instrument panel will inform you of the best moment to upshift or downshift gears:

\

shift up a gear;

[

shift down a gear.

If the instruction has not been respected after 6 seconds, the needle on the instrument panel enlarges and changes colour.

In case of vehicles with automatic transmissions, refer to the information on the

“Automatic gearbox” in Section 2.

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.

– idle: this does not require adjustment.

– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged element reduces performance. It must be replaced.

2.14

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.

Ä 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 suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fitted components, and check the fitting regularly. Do not lay one mat on top of another.

There is a risk of wedging the pedals

2.15

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 car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature.

Tyres

– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.

– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

2.16

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 of the manufacturer eco² signature.

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 organisations.

– At the end of the vehicle’s service life, it should be sent to approved centres 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).

2.17

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/4)

If the vehicle is equipped with the function, this system monitors the tyre pressure.

Operating principle

Each wheel (except for the emergency spare wheel) has a sensor in the inflation valve which periodically measures the tyre pressure. The system informs the driver via the display 1 and onboard computer 2 that the tyres are sufficiently inflated and warns if they are underinflated or leaking. The warning light 4 on the instrument panel comes on to warn the driver if the pressure is too low.

This function is an additional driving aid.

However, the function does not take the place of the driver. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.

Check the tyre pressures, including the emergency spare wheel, once a month.

Resetting the standard level for the tyre pressures

This should be done:

– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to usage conditions (empty, carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.);

– after swapping wheels over (this practice is not recommended);

– after changing a wheel.

It should always be done after checking the tyre pressure of all four tyres when cold.

Tyre pressures must correspond to the current usage of the vehicle (empty, carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).

With the ignition on:

– Make short presses on the control 3 to select the tyre pressure display

(see “On-board computer: settings” in Section 1);

– press and hold (around 3 seconds) the button 3 to launch the reset. A flashing tyre followed by the message “Pressure ref Ongoing” indicates that the request to learn the reference pressure has been taken into account;

– reset can take several minutes of driving.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, this is composed of:

– the ABS (anti-lock braking system);

– electronic stability control ESC with understeer control and traction control ASR;

– emergency brake assist with, depending on the vehicle, braking anticipation;

– hill start assistance.

These functions are an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.

However, the functions do not take the place of the driver. They do not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly.

Therefore, they can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

ABS (anti-lock braking system)

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 etc.).

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:

However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow.

Contact an approved dealer.

2.22

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/4)

Electronic stability control

ESC with understeer control and traction control ASR

Understeer control

This system optimises the action of the

ESC in the case of pronounced understeer (loss of front axle road holding).

Electronic stability control ESC

This system helps you to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving conditions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip on a bend, etc.).

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 driver input to the actual trajectory of the vehicle and corrects the trajectory if necessary by controlling the braking of certain wheels and/or engine power. In the event that the system is engaged, indicator light

flashes on the instrument panel.

Traction control ASR

This system helps to limit wheelspin of the drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away accelerating or decelerating.

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.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating fault the message “Check ESC” and warning light © strument panel.

In this case, the ESC and ASR are deactivated. Consult an approved dealer.

2.23

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)

The traction control ASR offers additional safety, it is recommended that you do not drive with the function disabled. Correct this as soon as possible by pressing switch 1 again.

Note: the function is reactivated automatically when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately

24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.

1

Emergency brake assist

This system supplements the ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping distances.

Disabling the function ASR

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 wheelspin. If this is not required, it is possible to deactivate the function by pressing switch 1 .

The message “Traction control off” is displayed on the instrument panel to inform you.

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 switching on

Depending on the vehicle, these may light up in the event of sudden deceleration.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating fault the message “Check braking system” appears on the instrument panel along with the light.

© warning

Consult an approved dealer.

Braking anticipation

Depending on the vehicle, when you rapidly release the accelerator, the system anticipates the braking manoeuvre in order to reduce stopping distances.

Special cases

When using the cruise control:

– if you use the accelerator, when you release it, the system may be triggered;

– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.

2.24

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/4)

Hill start assistance

This device assists the driver when starting on hills (ascending or descending). It prevents the vehicle from rolling forwards or backwards by automatically applying the brakes when the driver lifts their foot off the brake pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.

System operation

It only operates when the gear lever is in a position other than neutral (other than N or P for automatic transmissions) and the vehicle is completely stationary (brake pedal depressed).

The system holds the vehicle for approximately 2 seconds . The brakes are then gradually released (the vehicle will move according to the slope).

The hill start assistance system cannot completely prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards in all situations (extremely steep gradients, etc.).

In all cases, the driver may depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling forwards or backwards.

The hill start assistance function should not be used for prolonged stops: use the brake pedal.

This function is not designed to immobilise the vehicle permanently.

If necessary, use the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.

The driver must remain particularly vigilant when driving on slippery or low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.

Risk of serious injury.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/3)

Operating principle

Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the front or rear bumper depending on the vehicle, measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst 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.

NB : make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, water drop, etc.).

A

NB : depending on the vehicle, screen A shows the vehicle surroundings alongside the beeps.

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 look out for sudden hazards 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.

Front parking distance control

(depending on vehicle)

Operation

The parking distance control system is only activated when the vehicle is driven at a speed below approximately

– when the vehicle is stationary for more than approximately three seconds and an obstacle located more than approximately 30 centimetres away from the side of the vehicle;

– when the vehicle is in neutral or when the gear lever has been shifted to N or P for automatic gearboxes.

Rear parking distance control

Operation

When reversing, most objects located less than approximately 1.2 metres away from the rear of the vehicle are detected and a beep is emitted.

If there are obstacles located close to both the front and rear of the vehicle, only the closest of the two will be acknowledged and the corresponding front or rear beep sound will be emitted. If obstacles are detected both to the front and to the rear of the vehicle at the same time, and they are both less than 30 centimetres away from the vehicle, the corresponding front and rear beeps will be emitted alternately.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle while manoeuvring (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.

Operation

Moving into reverse gear, the camera 1 located near the number plate lights provides a view of the area behind the vehicle on the multimedia display 2 , accompanied by two moving or fixed guide lines 3 and 4 .

This system is initially used with the aid of several gauges (mobile for trajectory and fixed for distance). When the red zone is reached, use the bumper image to stop accurately.

3 moving guide line:

This is shown in blue on screen 2 . It indicates the vehicle trajectory according to the position of the steering wheel.

Fixed gauge 4

The fixed clearance gauge comprises coloured markers A , B and C , indicating the distance behind the vehicle:

– A (red) approximately 30 centimetres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) approximately 70 centimetres from the vehicle;

– C (green) approximately 150 centimetres from the vehicle.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are in line with the vehicle.

8 7

Operation

With the gear lever 1 in position P , switch on the ignition.

To move out of position P , you must depress the brake pedal before pressing unlocking button 2 .

With the foot on the brake pedal (warning light c on the display 3 goes out), move the lever out of 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

Select 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.

Economical driving

When driving, always leave the lever in position D , keeping the accelerator pedal lightly depressed to ensure automatic gear changes at a lower engine speed.

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.

2.38

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)

Driving in manual mode

With the selector lever in position D , move the lever to the left. 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.

Depending on the vehicle, in order to optimise consumption, an indicator on the instrument panel will inform you of the best moment to upshift ( + ) or downshift ( – ) gears.

Special circumstances

– If the road contours and bends do not allow you to stay in automatic mode (e.g.: in the mountains), we recommend that you change to manual mode.

This will prevent the automatic gearbox from changing gears repeatedly when climbing, and permit engine braking on long descents.

– In cold weather, to prevent the engine from stalling, wait a few moments before shifting the selector lever from position P or N and engaging D or R .

Special cases

Under certain driving conditions (e.g. engine protection, electronic stability program (ESP) operational etc.: ESC) the automatic system may change 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.

In very cold weather, the system may prevent the gears from being shifted in manual mode until the gearbox reaches the right temperature.

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 or, depending on the vehicle, ensure that the electronic parking brake is applied.

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.

2.39

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)

Operating faults

– when driving , if the message

“Check auto gearbox” appears on the instrument panel, this indicates there is a fault.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible.

– when driving , if the message “Auto gearbox overheating” appears on the instrument panel, stop the vehicle to allow the gearbox to cool down.

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.

This is the quickest option for de-icing and demisting the side windows and the windscreen.

6

Switching the air recirculation on

Press button 6 : the integrated indicator light comes on.

Under these conditions, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated, 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.);

– lowering the passenger compartment temperature as quickly as possible.

Adjusting the ventilation speed

Turn control 2 clockwise to increase the air flow in the passenger compartment.

The passenger compartment is ventilated by blown air. The blower determines how much air enters but vehicle speed has a slight effect on this.

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen, and discomfort 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 pressing the button 6 again.

The de-icing function cannot be used with the air recirculation mode to avoid any risk of condensation forming on the windscreen and triggers the air conditioning and the integrated indicator light 3 to come on.

3.10

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Advice on use

In some situations, (air conditioning off, air recirculation activated, ventilation speed at zero or low, etc.) you may notice that condensation starts to form on the windows and windscreen.

If there is condensation, use the

“Clear View” function to remove it, then use the air conditioning in automatic mode to stop it forming again.

If the condensation does not clear, use the FAST programme.

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.

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 Document 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.

Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit.

The fluid may damage eyes or skin.

In case of a fault when closing a window, the system reverts to normal mode: pull the switch concerned up as often as necessary to fully close the window

(the window will close gradually), hold the switch (still on the closure side) for three seconds then lower and raise the window fully to reinitialise the system.

If necessary, contact your approved

Dealer.

Electric sunroof

Consult an approved Dealer.

Closing windows can cause serious injury.

Precautions during use

– check that the sunroof is properly closed before leaving your vehicle;

– clean the seal every three months using products recommended by our

Technical Department;

– do not open the sunroof immediately after the vehicle has been in the rain or after your car has been washed.

– Vehicle with roof bars

As a general rule, if there is a load on the roof, use of the sunroof is not recommended.

Before using the sunroof, check the objects and/or accessories (bike racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to the roof bars: they should be properly arranged and secured and should not interfere with the operation of the sunroof.

Contact your approved Dealer for details of possible conversions.

If the vehicle is equipped with this function, this action will activate deadlocking.

Check that there is no-one still inside the vehicle

Important: during this operation, the sunroof anti-pinch facility is deactivated. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.

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

– 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 paintwork.

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 , with cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer (never use abrasive products). Rinse thoroughly beforehand with a jet:

– 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;

– 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.

4.14

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.

Vehicles with a matte paint finish

This type of paint requires certain precautions.

Do not do the following use wax-based products (polishing);

–

– 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.

We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from the manufacturer’s accessory outlets.

4.15

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)

A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the interior of the vehicle regularly.

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.

4.16

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 highpressure 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 (1/2)

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.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)

A

B

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.

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.

Depending on the vehicle, remove the central partition in the storage compartment to access the inflation kit.

Open the kit, remove caps 1 and 3 (the cap must not be removed from the bottle) then screw bottle 2 to its base 3 .

With the engine running and the parking brake applied,

– unscrew the valve cap on the wheel concerned and screw inflation adapter 6 onto the valve;

– connect adapter to the accessories socket on the dashboard of the vehicle;

– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (check the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door);

– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on pressure gauge 4 );

Note: while the bottle is emptying

(approximately 30 seconds), pressure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure will drop.

– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflating with the kit, to reduce it, turn button 7 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.

5.7

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)

Once the tyre is inflated correctly:

– stop using the kit;

– close the integrated cap on the bottle again;

– disconnect adapter ;

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 driving recommendation label 9 to the dashboard where it can easily be seen by the driver;

– store the kit;

– after the first inflation procedure the tyre will still be leaking; it is vital to drive in order to plug the hole;

– start immediately and drive at between 12 and 36 mph (20 and

60 km/h) to distribute the product evenly throughout the tyre, stopping after a distance of 2 miles (3 kilometres) to check the pressure;

– If the pressure is above 1.3 bar but lower than the recommended pressure, readjust it (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door), otherwise contact an approved dealer: repair is not possible.

Note: after using the inflation kit, you should visit an approved Dealer to replace the inflation hose and the bottle of repair product.

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 lead to 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.

1 2

Vehicles equipped with a jack and wheelbrace

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.

– Unlock the wheel bolts using the wheel wrench 3 . Position it so as to be able to push from above;

– line jack 4 up horizontally, the jack head must be positioned at the same height as plate mounting 1 , as close as possible to the wheel concerned, indicated by an arrow 2 ;

– start cranking the jack up by hand to align the base plate (which should be pushed slightly under the vehicle);

– turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts off the ground;

– undo the bolts and take off the wheel;

– fit the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to locate the mounting holes in the wheel and the hub.

4

Switch on the hazard warning lights.

Keep the vehicle away from traffic and on a level surface where it will not slip. Apply the parking brake 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.

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.

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.

5.9

CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)

If bolts are supplied with the emergency spare wheel, only use these bolts for the emergency spare wheel. Tighten the bolts, checking that the wheel is correctly positioned on its hub and lower the jack.

With the wheel on the ground, tighten the bolts fully and have the tightness of the bolts checked (tightening torque:

110 N.m) and the emergency spare wheel pressure checked as soon as possible.

Anti-theft bolt

If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these nearest the valve (wheel embellisher may not be able to fit).

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.

5.10

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.

1 cle axle.

When they need to be replaced, tyres should be same brand, size, type and structure on the each vehi-

Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either have a load capacity and a speed capacity at least equal to the original ones, or correspond to those recommended by your approved dealer. Non application of these instructions may invalidate the registration approval of your vehicle.

2

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition and the tread form must have sufficient depth; tyres approved by our Technical

Department have wear warning strips 1 that are indicators 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.

5.11

TYRES (2/3)

Tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures (including the emergency spare wheel). The tyre pressures should be checked at least once a month and additionally before any long journey (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

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,

– risk of bursting or tread separation.

The pressure depends on the load and the speed of use. Adjust the pressure according to the conditions of use (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

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.

Special note

Depending on the vehicle, there may be an adapter which needs to be positioned on the valve before air is added.

Vehicles fitted with the tyre pressure monitors

If under-inflated (puncture, low pressure, etc.), the warning light lights up on the instrument panel; see “Tyre pressure loss warning” in

Section 2.

Fitting new tyres

For safety reasons, this operation must be carried out by a specialist.

Fitting different tyres may change 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 affect the use of snow chains.

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.

5.12

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.

Snow or Winter tyres

We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum adhesion.

Warning : These tyres sometimes have a specific direction of rotation and a maximum speed index which may be lower than the maximum speed of your vehicle.

Studded tyres

This type of equipment may only be used for a limited period and as laid down by local legislation. It is necessary to observe the speed specified by current legislation.

These tyres must, at a minimum, be fitted to the two front wheels.

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.

In all cases, we would recommend that you contact an approved dealer who will be able to advise you on the choice of equipment which is most suitable for your vehicle.

Changing a wheel

As the tyre pressure monitor may take several minutes following driving to correctly determine the positions of the wheels and the pressure values, check the tyre pressures following any operation.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that any electrical consumers

(courtesy lights, etc.) are 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.

– Always wait at least one minute after the engine has been switched off before disconnecting a battery.

– Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be compatible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.

Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.

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.

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. If necessary, consult a doctor.

Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.

The engine may be hot when carrying out operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.

Risk of injury.

5.28

BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/2)

Starting the vehicle using the battery from another vehicle

If you have to use the battery from another vehicle to start, obtain suitable jump leads (with a large cross section) 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.
