Parking
To park the vehicle with a gear en -
gaged (on a slope, for example): before
switching off the engine, check that a
gear other than N is displayed on the
instrument panel.
The next time the engine is started, de-
press the brake pedal. The vehicle will
then automatically change to neutral
(letter N on the display).
Audible warning
If you hold the vehicle on a slope for
too long without applying the brakes or
handbrake you will strain the system
and there is a risk that the clutch will
overheat.
In this case, an intermittent beeping
sound will remind you that you should
put your foot on the brake pedal or
apply the handbrake.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running when in gear. For safety rea -
sons you will hear an intermittent beep -
ing sound when you open the door if
you have not shifted into neutral or you
have not switched off the ignition or de-
pressed the brake pedal.
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.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved
Dealer.

button will come on.
This function permits rapid demisting/
de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing

The passenger compartment is ven -
tilated by blown air. The blower deter -
mines how much air enters but vehicle
speed has a slight effect on this.
The further the control is positioned to
the right, the greater the amount of air
blown into the passenger compartment.

Air recirculation operation
(isolation of the passenger
compartment)
Turn control D towards air recirculation
symbol
â.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle. Air recirculation is for:
–
isolating the vehicle from the exter -
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment
to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position (iso -
lation mode) may mist up the win -
dows slightly or cause odours due
to the air not being renewed.
It is therefore advisable to return to
normal operation (external air) by
pressing control D when you have
passed through the polluted area.
