PANORAMIC SUNROOF
Your vehicle is fi tted with a tinted glass
panoramic sunroof which increases
the light and visibility in the passenger
compartment. Its electric blind helps
control the temperature in the passen-
ger compartment.
Electric blind
Opening
Turn the dial to the left (four possible
settings).
Closing
Return the dial to the initial position.
Safety anti-pinch
If the blind encounters an obstacle dur-
ing closing, it stops and partially opens
again.
If the blind fails to close at a second at-
tempt, it may be necessary to force the
closing of the blind using the reinitiali-
sation procedure.
The blind is controlled electrically by a
rotary dial.
In the event of contact during op-
eration of the blind, you must re-
verse its movement. To do this,
turn the dial.
When the driver operates the
dial, they must ensure that noth-
ing prevents the blind from clos-
ing correctly.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the blind cor-
rectly.
Be aware of children during
operation of the blind.
Reinitialising the system

tion,
then immediately press the dial, clos-
ing starts after about 10 seconds,
maintain pressure on the dial until

VISIBILITY
101
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumi-
nation of the sidelamps on the traffi c
side only.
Within one minute of switching off
the ignition, operate the lighting con-
trol stalk up or down depending on
the traffi c side (for example: when
parking on the left; lighting control
stalk upwards; the right hand side-
lamps are on).
This is confi rmed by an audible signal
and illumination of the corresponding
direction indicator warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return
the lighting control stalk to the central
position.
Switching off the lighting when
switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off,
all of the lamps switch off immedi-
ately, except for the dipped beam
headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
Manual guide-me-home lighting
The temporary illumination of the dipped
beam headlamps after the vehicle's ignition
has been switched off makes the driver's
exit easier when the light is poor.
Switching on
With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set
time.
Switching on the lighting
when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A
to position "0"
- lighting off, then to the position of
your choice.
If the lighting is switched on manu-
ally after switching off the ignition,
there is an audible signal when a
front door is opened to warn the
driver that they have forgotten to
switch off the vehicle's lighting, with
the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state
of charge of the battery (entry to en-
ergy economy mode).

Emergency braking
In the event of failure of the
electronic stability control sys-
tem, signalled by the illumi-
nation of this warning lamp,
braking stability is then not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate
"pull-release" actions on the control
lever A
.
In the event of a failure of the main ser-
vice brake or in an exceptional situation
(e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction,
etc) a continuous pull on the control
lever A
will stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability control provides
stability during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
the message "Parking brake faulty" will
be displayed.
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional cir-
cumstances.
Emergency release
In the event of the electric parking brake
malfunctioning or the battery running
fl at, an emergency device can be used
to release the parking brake manually.
Access to tools
The tools are stowed in the storage box
under the boot carpet.
