Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the
vehicle; place the heaviest items
in the bottom of the boot, as close
as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehi-
cle and reduce wind resistance
(roof bars, roof rack, bicycle car-
rier, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference. Remove roof bars
and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove
snow tyres and refi t your summer
tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:-before a long journey,-at each change of season,-after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and
the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regu-
larly (engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...)
and observe the schedule of oper-
ations recommended by the manu-
facturer.When refuelling, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle
to avoid any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will
see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM. Thisprovides:Exterior perimeter protection
by means of detectors on the
vehicle access points (doors,
boot, bonnet) as well as on the electrical supply.
Interior volumetric protection
by means of ultrasonic sensors (detecting movement inside thepassenger compartment). This can be deactivated using thecontrol1.


The installation also has a siren,
and a warning lamp on the control1which is visible from outside the
vehicle, indicating the three possi-ble statuses of the alarm:Alarm not active (disarmed),
warning lamp off.
Alarm active
(armed), the
warning lamp fl ashes slowly.
Alarm tri
ggered (signalling an
intrusion), the warning lamp
fl ashes rapidly if the alarm is deactivated by a press on thecontrol A. It stops as soon as you switch on the ignition.Note: If there is a malfunction,
the warning lamp remains perma-nently on.



DEACTIVATION OF THE
ALARM USNG THE REMOTE
CONTROL
The alarm is disarmed when youunlock the vehicle (with a press onbutton Aon the remote control).
DEACTIVATION OF THEALARM WITH THE KEY
Unlock the doors with the key. Thesiren triggers. Enter the vehicle,
insert the key in the ignition and
turn it to the drive position to stopthe siren. Otherwise the siren
will continue for approximately30 seconds.

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
OPERATING THE ALARM
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button Bon the remote control.
With the alarm armed, the protections are active after 5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).
When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion
will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by
the direction indicators lighting up.
The alarm then
goes back on standby, but the triggering remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid fl ashing
of the warning lamp on control1 after you have deacti-
vated the alarm with a press on the unlocking button A.The fl ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.
The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply
then press on the unlocking button A.Note:If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the
alarm, just lock with the key only.
If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is still open, the central locking does not operate but the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.Note:The siren is automatically deactivated (for exam-ple for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control.

Deactivating the volumetric detection
You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection
only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
For this, switch o
ff the ignition then immediately pressbutton1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp on button1should come perma-nently on. It will start to fl ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm b
y locking your vehicle with the remotecontrol.
It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detec-
tion when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the
random triggering of the alarm.
Automatic activation (according to destination)
The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the
last door, or the boot, has been closed.
In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you
open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press
the unlocking button A again on the remote control.
