Customising kits
These expressive stickers form part of a range of kits, very
d
ifferent one from another, which
a
llow you to create a unique
and
attractive exterior for your
v
ehicle.
Guide-me-home lighting
After switching off the ignition, under low lighting conditions the headlamps remain on for a few seconds to help you leave the vehicle.
Active City Brake
The purpose of this system is to avoid a frontal collision or reduce the speed of impact if the
d
river does not take action or does not take
s
ufficient action.

Stop & Start
This system puts the engine t
emporarily on standby during
s
tops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
j
ams, etc...). The engine restarts
a
utomatically as soon as you want to
m
ove off. Stop & Start reduces fuel
c
onsumption, exhaust emissions and
n
oise levels when stationary.

Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above
30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents
ope
n.
Remember
to make use of equipment that can help keep the
t
emperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window
b
linds...).
Switch
off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as
s
oon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch
off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch
off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch
off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light
d
oes not require their use.
Avoid
running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
v
ehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With
an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic
m
ode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The
gear efficiency indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear:
a
s soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
s
traight away.
For
vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
i
ndicator appears only in manual mode.
drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These
p
ractices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions
and
also
helps
reduce
the
background
traffic
noise.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds a bove 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.As
a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(
film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the c
onsumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

Manual operation
When the ignition is on, the lighting o f this warning lamp, accompanied

In
this
case, the gearbox switches to back-up

is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a
substantial knock when changing from P
to R
and
from N to R .

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage p osition P or N
to place the gearbox in neutral.
In
both cases, apply the parking brake to
i
mmobilise the vehicle.
Invalid value during manual
operation
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
t
he actual gear engaged is displayed.
It
is possible to change from position d
(automatic)
to position M (manual) at any time.
When
the vehicle is stationary or moving
v
ery slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
The

Stop & StartThe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect
for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
a
vailable for a few seconds after
c
oming out of reverse gear.
STOP
mode does not affect the
f
unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
braking, power steering...
Never
refuel with the engine in STOP

The "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a
few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum braking in complete
s
afety in emergency situations:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-
e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
e
mergency braking assistance (EBA).Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
i
n particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of
w
heel lock.
Normal
operation of the ABS may make itself
f
elt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When
braking in an emergency, press
v
ery firmly without releasing the
p
ressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, together with the STOP and ABS
warning
lamps, accompanied by an
a
udible
signal and a message in the screen, it
i
ndicates
a malfunction of the electronic brake
f
orce
distribution which could result in loss of
c
ontrol
of
the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
When
replacing wheels (tyres and
r
ims), ensure that they conform to the
ma
nufacturer's
r
ecommendations.
If

RACING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a towbar. The space occupied by the
s
port diffuser prevents this.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
The
