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.

suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turning
ring 2:
– E: minimum sensitivity

speed slows down whenever the ve-
hicle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.

Vehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine. To avoid this problem, use un-
leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,
use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the special end of the exten-
sion piece supplied into the socket in-
tegrated into the radiator grille and the
other end into a 220V socket for at least
6 hours before starting.
Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
Useable fuel tank capacity:
59 litres approximately.
With the vehicle unlocked, to open the
compartment B, place your finger into
the recess C.
Valve A is integrated into the filler pipe. For details on filling the fuel tank, refer
to the information on “Filling with fuel”.
To close it, press on the fuel filler flap by
hand, as far as it will go.
Fuel gradeUse a high-grade fuel that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country and which must conform to the
specifications given on the label on the
cover B . Refer to the information on
“Engine specifications” in Section 6.
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that
conforms with the information given on
the label inside cover B.
Petrol versions
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must conform
to the specifications on the label inside
fuel filler flap B. Refer to the information
on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.

Never press valve A with your fingers.
Do not wash the filler area with a high pressure washer.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.
