Parking sensor
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors fitted in the vehi -
cle’s rear bumper measure the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle
whilst reversing.
When reversing, most objects located
less than approximately 1.5 metres
away from the rear of the vehicle are
detected and a beep is emitted.
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 25 centi -
metres from the obstacle.
PArking DiSt Ance cOntrOl (1/2)
Automatic activation/deactivation of
the rear parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the handbrake is engaged;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 4 mph (7 km/h);
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec -
onds and an obstacle is detected
(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);
– when you are in positions n and P.
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 responsibil -
ity 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 bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
In the event an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni -
ture) this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat -
tery.
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved dealer.

These systems operate with the igni -
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger side;
3 and 5 for the rear passengers.
From the passenger seats, use
switch 6.
Front window features: If the window
detects resistance when closing (e.g.
fingers, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.
Electric windows

Electric windows
Press the window switch down or pull it
up to lower or raise the window to the
desired height: the rear windows do not
open fully.
one-touch mode
This mode works in addition to the
operation of the electric windows de -
scribed previously. It either operates on
the front windows only, or on all the win-
dows.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window is fully lowered or
raised. Pressing the switch again stops
the window moving.

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable op -
eration of the electric win -
dows and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear doors, by
pressing switch 4. The indicator light
integrated in the switch lights up to
confirm that the locks have been ac-
tivated.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
key inside and never leave a child
(or a pet) unsupervised, even for a
short while. They may pose a risk
to themselves or to others by start-
ing the engine, activating equipment
such as the electric windows or by
locking the doors. If a body part
gets trapped, reverse the direction
of travel of the window as soon as
possible by pressing the relevant
switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
12 volt battery
The battery is a specific
type , please ensure it is
replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved
dealer.
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.
12 vOL t BatteR y (1/2)
The charge status of the 12 volt bat -
tery 1 can decrease, especially if you
use your vehicle:
– when the outside temperature drops;
– after extended use of energy-con -
suming devices (radio etc.) with the
engine switched off.
Replacement
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.
1
Do not work on the 12 volt
battery (charging, replac -
ing, etc.):
– without switching off the
ignition;
– if your traction battery is charging
Please refer to the information
on “Electric vehicle: charging” in
Section 1.
Risk of serious injury.
Replacing the 12 volt bat -
tery:
For your own safety, you
must respect the replace -
ment intervals (without exceeding
them) as stated in the maintenance

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.
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 Document.
Respect local regulations about wash -
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
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.
vehicles with a matte paint
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub too hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
y ou should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle
sponge.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur -
er’s accessory outlets.
Washing the vehicle
Never wash the engine
compartment, the charging
connection or the traction
battery with a high-pressure jet.
This risks damaging the electric cir-
cuit.
Never wash the vehicle while it is
charging.
Risk of electric shock and a risk to
life.
