Special cases
When the vehicle is on an incline or
when towing a trailer, pull handle 2 for
approximately 3 seconds to fully apply
the parking brake.
Note: if the vehicle is not immobilised
despite fully applying the parking brake,
due to the steepness of the incline, the
message “Stop vehicle ” is displayed on
the instrument panel. The vehicle must
be parked elsewhere. Parking without applying the
parking brake
(if there is a risk of ice etc.):
–
Stop the engine by pressing the
engine on/off button 1;
– engage a gear (on vehicles with
manual gearboxes) or shift the gear
lever into position P (on vehicles with
automatic transmissions);
– simultaneously depress the brake
pedal and press switch 2 until indica-
tor light 3 goes out.
When the driver ’s door is opened, a
warning message will be displayed and
a beep sounds for around 5 seconds to
indicate that the parking brake has not
been applied.
Note: it is still possible to release the
parking brake as long as no door is
opened or closed and the vehicle is not
locked.

Operating faults
When indicator lights © and in cer-
tain cases
} light up on the instru-
ment panel accompanied by the mes -
sage “Check parking brake”, contact an
approved dealer urgently.
v ersions 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 manually parking
brake” message appears on the instru-
ment panel when the driver depresses
the accelerator.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selec -
tor 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.
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au -
tomatic transmission). If the slope
requires it, chock the vehicle.
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.

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%.
– 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.
–
In vehicles fitted with air condi -
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es -
pecially 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 mo -
ments 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 ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.

Turn the control A according to the

temperature will be.
Air recirculation mode
Press the button B : the indicator light
on the button comes on.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Recirculation allows:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter -
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– the passenger compartment to be
brought to the desired temperature
more quickly.ABcDE
F
Information and advice for use:
Refer to information on “Air condi -
tioning: information and advice on
use”.
Prolonged use of air recirculation
can lead to condensation form -
ing on the side windows and wind -
screen, and discomfort due to the
use of non-renewed air in the pas -
senger 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 B again.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
AIR coNDITIoNINg: information and advice on use
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 Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in -
spection frequency.
operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance. 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.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you
may notice that condensation starts
to form on the windows and wind -
screen.
If there is condensation, use the
“clear View” function to remove it,
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Note
Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.
