CRUISe CoNtRoL/SPeeD LIMIteR: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the function on
standby
The function is suspended when you:
– the switch 4 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an auto -
matic gearbox.
In all three cases, the cruising speed re-
mains stored and the message “Stored”
appears on the instrument panel.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light
goes out. Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road condi
-
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface,
weather conditions, etc.). With a ve -
hicle speed above 20 mph (30 km/h),
press switch 5 (R).
Note: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control is sus -
pended, pressing switches 2 (+)
or 3 (-) reactivates the function with-
out taking into account the stored
speed: it is the speed at which the
vehicle is moving that is taken into
account.
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti -
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The green
and instrument panel indicator
lights go out, confirming that the func -
tion is deactivated.
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic con -
ditions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
this will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
a pply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.
Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in auto -
matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather , to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and en -
gaging D or R.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhe -
sion, change to manual mode and
select second gear before starting
the engine to avoid wheelspin when
starting.
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, electronic stability
program (ESP) operational etc.: ESC),
the “automatic system” may change
gear automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
aUtoMatIC GeaRBox (2/3)
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de -
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.

general information
enGIne OIL LeVeL: general information (1/2)
Minimum oil level warning on
the instrument panel
When the message “test of functions
being checked” appears on the instru -
ment panel, press one of the buttons 3
or 4.
If the level is above the minimum
level : the display shows “oil level cor -
rect accompanied by squares 1 which,
when the level drops, are replaced by
dashes 2.
note: the detailed level cannot be dis-
played if the vehicle was previously
only driven for a short time. If the minimum level has been
reached: the message “Adjust oil level”
and warning light © lights up on
the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
n ote : To advance to trip computer
reading, press button 3 or 4 again.
The display only warns the
driver if the oil level is at the
minimum level. It does not
inform the driver that the oil
level has exceeded the maximum
level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
t he dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.

Interior trim maintenance
Glass instrument panel(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior

Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois-
tened with soapy water and 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 under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
InteRIOR tRIM MAIntenAnCe (1/2)
textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use
cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow -
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.
