Batteries contain harmful substances such a s   sulphuric   acid   and   lead.   They   must   be d

isposed   of   in   accordance   with   regulations
 a

nd   must   not,   in   any   circumstances,   be
 d

iscarded   with   household   waste.
Take
  used   remote   control   batteries   and
 v

point.
F Follow   the   instructions   for   use   provided   by  t
he   manufacturer   of   the   charger.
Do
  not   disconnect   the   battery   to   charge   it.
Practical information

Energy economy modeSystem which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
A fter   the   engine   has   stopped,   you   can   still   use   functions   such   as   the   audio   equipment,   windscreen   wipers,   dipped   beam   headlamps,   courtesy   lamps,  
e

tc.   for   a   maximum   combined   period   of   thirty   minutes.
This
  period   may   be   greatly   reduced   if  
t

he   battery   is   not   fully   charged.
A
  flat   battery   prevents   the   engine   from  
s

tarting   (refer   to   the   corresponding  
par

agraph).
If
  the   telephone   is   being   used   at   the  
s

ame   time   on   the   eMyWay   audio  
n

avigation   system,   it   will   be   interrupted  
a

fter   10   minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears   on   the   multifunction   screen   indicating  
t

hat   the   vehicle   has   switched   to   economy   mode  
a

nd   the   active   functions   are   put   on   standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically the   next   time   the   vehicle   is   driven.
F
 
I
n   order   to   resume   the   use   of   these  
f

unctions   immediately,   start   the   engine   and  
l

et   it   run   for   a   few   minutes.
The
  time   available   to   you   will   then   be   double  
t

he   period   for   which   the   engine   is   left   running.  
H

owever,   this   period   will   always   be   between  
f

ive   and   thirty   minutes.

Changing a front or rear wiper bladeProcedure for replacing a worn wiper blade with a new one without the use of tools.
Before removing a front
wiper blade
F Within  one   minute   after   switching   off   the  i
gnition,   operate   the   wiper   stalk   to   position  
t

he   wiper   blades   in   the   vertical   position.
This
  position   must   be   used   in   order   to   avoid  
d

amaging   the   wiper   blade   and   the   bonnet.
Removal
F Raise  the   corresponding   wiper   arm.
F  U nclip   the   wiper   blade   and   remove   it.
Fitting
F At  the   front,   check   the   size   of   the   wiper  b
lade   as   the   shorter   blade   is   fitted   to   the  
p

assenger   side   of   the   vehicle.
F
 
P
ut   the   corresponding   new   wiper   blade   in  
p

lace   and   clip   it.
F
 
F
old   down   the   wiper   arm   carefully.
After fitting a front wiper
blade
F Switch  on   the   ignition.
F  O perate   the   wiper   stalk   again   to   park   the  
w

iper   blades.
Load reduction modeSystem which manages the use of certain functions   according   to   the   level   of   charge  
r

emaining   in   the   battery.
When
  the   vehicle   is   being   driven,   the   load  
r

eduction   function   temporarily   deactivates  
c

ertain   functions,   such   as   the   air   conditioning,  
t

he   heated   rear   screen...
The
  deactivated   functions   are   reactivated  
a

utomatically   as   soon   as   conditions   permit.

With
 
the   engine   off,   the  
system

  switches   off   after  
a

 
few
 
minutes   of   use. When
  the   engine   is   switched   off,   the   system's   operating   time   depends   on  
the

  battery   charge.
The
  switch-off   is   normal:   the   system   switches   to   economy   mode   and  
switches

  off   to   prevent   discharging   of   the   vehicle's   battery.Start
  the   vehicle's   engine   to   increase   the   battery  
charge.
Playback

  of   my   USB  
memory

  stick   starts   only  
after

 
a
  very   long   wait  
(around

  2   to   3   minutes). Some
  files   supplied   with   the   memory   stick   may   greatly   slow   down   access  
to

  reading   the   memory   stick   (multiplication   by   10   of   the   catalogue   time).Delete
  the   files   supplied   with   the   memory   stick  
and

  limit   the   number   of   sub-folders   in   the   file  
structure

  on   the   memory   stick.
When
 
I   connect   my

time,   I   am   unable  
to

 
play
  the   music   files.When
  the   iPhone   connects   automatically   as   a   telephone,   it   forces   the

  function.  
The
  streaming   function   takes   the   place   of   the   USB  
function

  which   is   then   not   useable,   there   is   a   period   without   sound   of   the  
track

  being   played   with  
Apple® players. Disconnect   and   reconnect   to   the   USB   port   (the
