Foglamps selection ring.
The foglamps operate with the side-
lamps and the dipped and main
beam headlamps.
- 1
st turn forwards: rear foglamp on.
-
1
st turn rearwards: rear foglamp off.
- 1 st turn forwards: front foglamps on.
- 2 nd turn forwards: rear foglamps on.
- 1 st turn rearwards: rear foglamps off.
- 2 nd turn rearwards: front foglamps off.
Model with rear foglamp only
Model with front and rear
foglamps
In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp is prohibited.
In these situations, the power of
their beams may dazzle other dri-
vers. They should only be used in
fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped beam head-
lamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except
for the dipped beam headlamps if
guide-me-home lighting is activated.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the pres-
ence of misting on the internal sur-
face of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal; it disap-
pears after the lamps have been on
for a few minutes.
Switching on the lamps after
the ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
ring A
to the "0"
position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of
the sidelamps, switch off automati-
cally after a period that depends on
the state of charge of the battery
(entering energy economy mode).

switches off automatically when the
boot is closed.
Various lighting durations are avail-
able:
- ignition off, approximately ten minutes,
- in energy economy mode, approxi-
mately thirty seconds,

location, starting at the bottom.
If you have forgotten to switch off
the torch, this switches it off auto-
matically. Observe the polarities when fi tting
the batteries.
Never replace the rechargeable
batteries with normal single-use
batteries.
For replacement of the batteries,
see the "Practical information -

DRIVING
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c
(red lights, traffi c jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want
to move off. The restart takes place
instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop &
Start system reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:
- with the electronic gearbox
system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear lever in position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the sys-
tem, a time counter calculates the
sum of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on
with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
Never refuel with the en-
gine in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition
with the key.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
for example, braking, power steer-
ing... STOP mode is not invoked
when:
- the driver’s door is open,
- the driver’s seat belt is not fas-
tened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
- the electric parking brake is ap-
plied or being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
7 mph (11 km/h) with the elec-
tronic gearbox system,
- the electric parking brake is be-
ing applied,
- some special conditions (battery

perature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.
In this case the "ECO"
warning lamp
fl ashes for a few seconds, then goes
off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
