AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/4)
Driving in manual modeWhen the selector lever is in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– to move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
Depending on the vehicle:
– to move down through the gears,
push the lever forwards;– to move up through the gears, push
the lever backwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.: to
protect the engine) the “automated
system” may change the gear automa-
tically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect ma-
noeuvres, a gear change may be re-
fused by the automatic system: in this
case the gear display flashes for a few
seconds as a warning.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (3/4)
Special circumstances
– Depending on the vehicle, snow
position: if you are driving on slip-
pery surfaces (snow, mud, etc.)
press switch 5, the operating indica-
tor light 6 comes on.
Once these special driving con-
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 5
again. The warning light 6 goes
out.

– If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountai-
nous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few sec-
onds before moving the selector
lever from position P or N and en-
gaging it in D or R.– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheels-
pin when accelerating.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.

REVERSING CAMERA (2/2)
Static guide line 3:
The static guide line 3 has coloured
markers A, B and C showing the dis-
tance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle.This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.
The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation
projected onto flat ground; this in-
formation must not be taken into
account when superimposed on a
vertical object or an object on the
ground.
Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in
sunshine etc.), the camera vision
may be adversely affected.

ControlsThe controls will depend on the vehicle
equipment level.
1 Distribution of air.
2 Switching air conditioning on or off.
3 Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.
4 De-icing/demisting of the rear screen
and, depending on the vehicle, the
door mirrors and windscreen.
5 Air temperature adjuster.
6 Switching passenger compartment
isolation mode/air recirculation mode
on
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 5 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further towards the
red the slide is, the higher the tempera-
ture will be.
Adjusting the ventilation fan
speed.
Turn control 3 from 0 to 4. The further
to the right it is positioned, the more air
is blown into the passenger compart-
ment. If you want to shut off the flow of
air completely and stop the system, set
control 3 to 0.
The system is deactivated: the ventila-
tion speed for the passenger compart-
ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),
you can however still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
Leaving this control in position 0 for
prolonged periods can lead to con-
densation forming on the side win-
dows and windscreen and problems
due to the use of non-renewed air in
the passenger compartment.

Switching passenger
compartment isolation mode/
air recirculation mode on.
Bring lever 6 to position â.
Under these conditions, air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.Air recirculation is used to:
– to isolate the passenger compart-
ment from the external atmosphere
(e.g. driving in polluted areas, etc.);
– to bring the passenger compartment
to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Rapid demisting
Turn controls 1, 3 and 6 to positions
W:
– air from the outside;
– maximum fan speed;
– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.
VHeated rear
windscreen/
Heated windscreen
With the engine running, press
button 4 (the warning light comes on).
Depending on the vehicle, this function
de-ices/demists the rear windscreen,
the electric rear-view mirrors and the
windscreen.
Depending on the vehicle, the function
is stopped:
– automatically after a period of time
set by the system (warning light goes
out);
– by pressing button 4 again (the warn-
ing light goes out).
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side
windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air in
the passenger compartment.
You are therefore advised to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the
air recirculation function is no longer required, by turning control 6 to the right.

Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control 1 to choose the distribution
option.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard vents and the
footwells.
FThe air flow is mainly distrib-
uted between the front and
rear footwells and the dashboard vents.
Close the dashboard vents to direct all
the air to the foot wells.
iThe air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting air vents,
the windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
WAll the air is then directed to
the windscreen and front side
window demisting vents.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator
light extinguished) using button 2.
Activation is not possible if control 3 is
set to 0.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lower the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– eliminate condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.
Fuel consumption increases when
the air conditioning is being used
(switch it off when it is not required).
