PARKING DISTANcE cONTROL (continued)
Manual activation/
deactivation of the front and
rear parking distance control
You can deactivate the system perma-
nently by pressing switch 1 and hold -
ing it down for approximately three sec-
onds
The warning light in the switch stays
on and the message “parking dis -
tance control deactivated” appears on
the instrument panel for approximately
10 seconds. In this case you can reactivate the
system by pressing and holding
switch 1 for longer than three seconds:
the warning light on the switch goes
out and the message “parking distance
control activated” will be displayed on
the instrument panel for approximately
10 seconds.
Automatic activation/
deactivation of the system
The system is activated when the vehi-
cle is being driven at a speed below ap-
proximately 7 mph (12 km/h).
The system deactivates:
–
when the parking brake is applied;
– when the vehicle speed is above
7 mph (12 km/h);
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec -
onds (such as when in a traffic jam
or waiting at red lights, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;
– if a caravan or trailer is fitted with a
detection system.

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (2/7)
If you are the passenger and you wish
to set the air to a different temperature
to the driver, press button 10 : operat -
ing tell-tales 3 and 11 come on and you
can then adjust the temperature with
tab 12.
To return to a single temperature for the
entire passenger compartment, there
are two choices:
– on the driver’s side, press one of air
distribution buttons 1 or 8 for approx-
imately two seconds;
– on the passenger side, press
button 10 again.
Operating tell-tales 3 and 11 go out.
Note:
– Each time the ignition is switched on,
the setting returns to a single tem -
perature for the entire passenger
compartment: lights 3 and 11 are off.
– Tab 12 cannot be used if the “Clear
View” function (button 2 ) is on. In
this case, indicator lights 3 and 11
go out.
Adjusting the air temperature
Tabs 5 and 12 are used to adjust the
air temperature in the passenger com-
partment. Pushing the tab upwards in-
creases the temperature. There are two ways of using it:
–
operating tell-tales 3 and 11 are
off.
Tab 5 on the driver’s side adjusts the
temperature in the entire passenger
compartment (tab 12 on the passen-
ger side, in this situation, is inactive);
– operating tell-tales 3 and 11 are
on.
tab 5 adjusts the air temperature on
the driver’s side and tab 12 adjusts
the air temperature on the passen -
ger side.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
The heating and air conditioning system
uses air from the outside to heat or cool
the passenger compartment.
However, when the “recirculation” func-
tion is in use, it is possible to isolate the
passenger compartment from the at -
mosphere outside, e.g. when driving in
polluted areas.
Note
Pressing the AUTO button 1 switches
on the “automatic recirculation” function
(indicator light C lit).
Repeatedly pressing button 2 enables
you to select:
– automatic recirculation;
– enforced recirculation;
– exterior air.
With automatic recirculation
Indicator light C comes on. The system
analyses the quality of the outside air
and, when necessary, isolates the pas-
senger compartment automatically.
With enforced recirculation
Indicator light D comes on. Air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated without taking in air from
the outside.
Note
Prolonged use of air recirculation can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and dis-
comfort due to the use of non-renewed
air in the passenger compartment. We
therefore advise you to switch back to
automatic recirculation (light C lit) or
outside air as soon as enforced recircu-
lation is no longer necessary.
With air from the outside
Indicator lights C and D are off.1

Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion 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.y ou should
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 pe -
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Respect local regulations about wash -
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor -
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under -
neath the body which forms damp
patches;

If it is necessary to clean mechani -
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
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 alco -
hol must not be used.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur -
er’s accessory outlets.

tYre InFLA tIOn KIt (continued)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the tyre inflation kit.– Retrieve compressor 4 and bottle 1
from rear storage compartment C (in
vehicles with a normal chassis) or D
(in vehicles with a long chassis);
– unroll inflation hose 8 and lead 9 lo-
cated under the compressor and in-
flation hose 10 . Attach the bottle to
its mounting 3 and screw inflation
hose 8 onto end piece 2.With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
–
unscrew the valve cap of the wheel
concerned and screw the inflation
hose 10 onto the valve;
– connect end piece 9 to one of the ve-
hicle’s accessories sockets (refer to
the information on the “Accessories
socket” in Section 3) then press
switch 7 to inflate the tyre to the rec-
ommended pressure (refer to the
label located on the edge of the driv-
er’s door);
– After a maximum of 5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure on
pressure gauge 6 . To adjust the
pressure if necessary: continue in -
flating to increase the pressure or
press button 5 to decrease it.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
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.
