DISPLAYS AND INDICATORS (3/4)
Head-up display 7
The display details driving and navi-
gation information from the instrument
panel and the multifunction screen.
If fitted to the vehicle, this comes on
when the engine is started and is re-
tracted when the engine is switched off.
7You can adjust certain settings from the
multifunction screen: with the engine
running, access menu “System”,
“Display” then “Head-up display”.
Adjusting the display information
height
Depending on your driving position,
you can raise or lower the information
on the display.
Adjusting the display brightness
You can adjust the brightness (day or
night mode)
– automatically : the brightness will
vary depending on the outdoor light.
– manually: the brightness automati-
cally switches with the activation/de-
activation of the lights.
In both cases, the day mode varies
based on the outdoor brightness.
Good information visibility can be af-
fected by:
– the seat position;
– the presence of an object placed
on the opened display;
– the polarisation of some spectacle
lenses;
– extreme weather conditions (rain,
snow, very strong sunlight, etc.).
In the event of contradic-
tory information between
the instrument panel and
the head-up display/multi-
function screen, please refer to the
information displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
Do not manually force the opening/
closure of the head-up display.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is stationary.

STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
Power-assisted steering
Variable power-assisted steering
The variable power assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) while
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Stop and Start feature
With the engine on standby, power-as-
sisted steering is no longer operational.
It returns to its original state when the
engine is restarted or when the speed
moves above 1 mph or 1 km/h (hill,
slope, etc.).
Adjusting the steering wheel
height and depth
Lower the lever 1 and position the
steering wheel in the required position.
Then, raise the lever fully, beyond the
point of resistance to lock the steering
wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Never leave the steering wheel at
full lock while stationary.
Do not switch off the engine
when driving downhill and,
as a general rule, when
driving (the power-assisted
steering and brake cannot operate
normally).
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.

Engine on standby - power-
assisted steering is no
longer operational.
NB: power-assisted steering depends
on the mode selected in the “Multi-
Sense” menu (please refer to the infor-
mation in “Multi-Sense” in Section 3).

One-touch mode
When driving, it is possible that the
steering wheel may not be turned suf-
ficiently to return the stalk automatically
to its starting position.
In this case, briefly turn stalk 1 to the in-
termediate position, then release it: the
stalk returns to its original point and the
indicator light flashes three times.
