r

eduction   function   temporarily   deactivates

w

ipers,   dipped   beam   headlamps,   courtesy   lamps,   etc.   for   a   maximum   combined   period   of  
t

hirty minutes. This
  period   may   be   greatly   reduced   if  
t

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

tarting.

battery. The start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by the
temporary
  illumination   of   this   warning   lamp  
a

ccompanied   by   a   message   in   the   multifunction  
sc

reen.
As
  soon   as   the   traffic   conditions   permit,  
r

egenerate   the   filter   by   driving   at   a   speed   of   at  
l

On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter
  regeneration   operations   may   be  
a

ccompanied   by   a   "burning"   smell,

hich   is   per fectly   normal.
Following
  prolonged   operation   of   the  
v

ehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you
  may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,

n

ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
  the   environment.

its
 
reconnection. Depending
  on   the   environment   (e.g.   dusty  
a

tmosphere)   and   the   use   of   the   vehicle   (e.g.  
c

ity
 
driving),   replace them twice as often if
necessary .
