EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/4)
1
Special note:
– If the dipped beam headlights are manually switched on and if the light
is sufficient, the directional head-
lights will remain fixed;
– If the lights come on automatically when cornering, the directional
headlights will start working from the
next time the vehicle corners;
– When the dipped beam headlights are switched on with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary,
the lights move to reinitialise them-
selves. If not, there is a system fault.
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 2 to position 0;
– automatically, the lights will go out when the engine is switched off, the
driver’s door is opened or the vehicle
is locked. In this case, the next time
the engine is started the lights will be
switched back on according to the
position of the ring 2.
NB: if the fog lights are lit, the lights are
not switched off automatically.
“See-me-home lighting”
function
This function allows you to briefly switch
on the dipped beam headlights (to pro-
vide light when opening a gate, etc.).
With the engine and lights off and
the ring 2 in the position 0, pull stalk 1
towards you: the dipped beam head-
lights come on for approximately thirty
seconds. To increase this duration, you
may pull the stalk up to four times (total
time restricted to two minutes). The
message “See-me-home” along with
the times the lights will be on for is dis-
played on the instrument panel to con-
firm this action.
To switch off the lights before they go
out automatically, turn ring 2 to any po-
sition, then return it to position 0.
Directional headlights
Depending on the vehicle, with the
dipped beam headlights on and under
certain conditions (speed, steering
wheel angle, forwards gear selected,
etc.) when cornering, the dipped beam
headlights move to light the inside of
the bend.
Operating faults
Depending on the vehicle, when the
message “Check lighting” appears on
the instrument panel along with the
© warning light, this indicates that
there is a lighting fault.
Consult an approved dealer.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/3)
An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-
played to let you assess your eco driv-
ing performance. The higher the score,
the better your eco-driving perform-
ance.
Eco advice is given to help improve
your performance.
With your favourite journeys saved, you
can evaluate your performance.
For more information, please see the
multimedia system instructions.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals
Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible. – Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through floods
if the water is above the
lower edge of the wheel
rims.

2.20
If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principleEach wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure. The system informs
the driver via the display 1 and on-
board computer 2 that the tyres are suf-
ficiently inflated and warns if they are
underinflated or leaking. The warning
light 4
 on the instrument panel
comes on to warn the driver if the pres-
sure is too low. It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
With the ignition on:
– Make short presses on the control
3
to select the tyre pressure display
(see “On-board computer: settings”
in Section 1);
– press and hold (around 3 seconds) the button 3 to launch the reset. A
flashing tyre followed by the mes-
sage “Pressure ref Ongoing” indi-
cates that the request to learn the
reference pressure has been taken
into account;
– reset can take several minutes of driving.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/4)

Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping wheels over (how- ever this practice is not recom-
mended);
– after changing a wheel.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

Display
The warning light 4  on the in-
strument panel along with the display 1,
and messages on the display 2 indicate
any tyre pressure faults (flat tyre, punc-
tured tyre, system fault, etc.).
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (2/4)
1“Puncture”
The wheel A, together with the warn-
ing light 4
, indicates that the af-
fected wheel is punctured or severely
underinflated. Replace it or contact an
authorised dealer if it is punctured. Top
up the tyre pressure if the wheel is de-
flated.
This message appears along with the
® warning light.
“Adjust tyre pressure”
A coloured wheel A, together with the
warning light 4
, indicates a flat
tyre.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the
pressures of the four wheels when cold.
While driving the warning light 4

goes off after a few minutes.
A
2
Warning light ® re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
The sudden loss of pressure in a
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.

2.22
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (3/4)
“CHECK TYRE PRESSURE
SENSORS”
The warning light
 flashes for
several seconds, then stays on, along
with the message “CHECK TYRE
PRESSURE SENSORS” and a missing
wheel B.
This message appears along with the
© warning light.
This message appears when at least
one wheel fitted on the vehicle does not
have sensors (e.g. emergency spare
wheel). In other cases, contact an au-
thorised dealer.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, sensors, etc.).
Contact an authorised dealer to replace
the tyres and to find out about avail-
able accessories compatible with the
system: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.
Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel po-
sitions and pressures to be recog-
nised; check the tyre pressures after
all operations.

Interchangeability of wheelsIf you wish to swap the wheels around,
please consult an approved dealer to
reinitialise the system.
Each of the sensors incor-
porated in the valves 5 is
dedicated to a single wheel:
under no circumstances
should you swap the wheels, with-
out resetting the system.
There is a risk of incorrect informa-
tion which could have serious con-
sequences.
