SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals according to the use of the vehicle.More than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Example:
4 800 miles/km remain
before
the next service is due. When
the ignition is switched on and for a
few
seconds, the screen shows:
a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), then the total
distance
recorder resumes normal
operation showing the total and trip
distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few seconds, the spanner flashes and the number of miles/kilometres
remaining is displayed:
a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), then the total
distance
recorder resumes normal
operation
and the spanner remains on.
This indicates that a service should be
carried
out shortly.
Service overdue
Operation
A
few
moments
after
the
ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating
a
service
operation
comes
on; the display for the total distance
recorder
gives
(in
round
figures)
the
distance
remaining
before
the
next
service.
The points at which a service is due
are
calculated
from
the
last
indicator
zero
reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined
by
two
parameters:
-
the distance travelled,
-
the
time
which
has
elapsed
since
the
last
service.
The
distance
remaining
before
the
next
service
may
be
weighted
by
the
time
factor,
depending
on
the
type
of
driving. With the engine running the spanner
remains
on until the service has been
carried
out.
For BlueH
d i d iesel versions, this
alert
is also accompanied by the fixed
illu
mination of the Service warning
lamp,
on switching on the ignition.
Each
time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
flashes
and the excess
distance
is displayed.
For BlueH
d i d iesel versions, the
spanner
can also come on early,
according the level of deterioration
of
the engine oil. Deterioration of the
engine oil depends on the conditions of
use
of the vehicle.

MANUAL GEARBO x
5-speed
6-speed
To change gear easily, always depress
the
clutch
pedal fully.
To
prevent
the
mat from becoming
caught
under
the pedal:
-
ensure
that
the mat is positioned
and
secured correctly on the floor,
-
never
fit
one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on
the
gear
knob as the force exerted,
even
if
slight,
may wear the internal
components
of
the gearbox over time.
Changing into 5th or 6th gear
To engage the gear correctly, move the gear lever fully to the right.
Engaging reverse gear
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce noise.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary,
release
the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism
by pulling the lever.
Adjust
the steering wheel for height
and
reach, then lock the mechanism by
pushing
the lever fully forward. In
the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
below the gear knob.

form
of an arrow.
The
system adapts its gear

according to the driving conditions
(slope,

of the driver (power
, acceleration,
braking, ...).
The
system never suggests:
-
engaging

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the
most
appropriate gear.
Operation
depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may
advise you to skip one (or more)
gear(s).
Y
ou can follow this instruction
without
engaging the intermediate
gears.
The
gear engagement
recommendations
must not be
considered
compulsory. In fact, the
configuration
of the road, the amount
of
traffic and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best
gear
.
Therefore,
the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or
not to follow the advice given by the
system.
This
function cannot be deactivated.

Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing
down firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the
parking brake. Check that the
parking
brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument
panel.
Before doing anything in the
engine
compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral
N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle
to change up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-
If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed
(for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically
, to first gear if
needed.
-
It is not necessary to release the
accelerator
completely during gear
changes.
-
a
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-
For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may
be performed automatically.
Manual mode
Changing to manual mode
Move the gear selector to M. Automatic mode Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in
automatic
mode,
without
any
action
on
your
part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best
suited
to
the
following
conditions:
-
driving style,
-
road
profile,
-
optimum
fuel
consumption.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily on standby - STOP mode
- during stops in the traffic (red
lights,
traffic jams, or other...).
The
engine
restarts automatically - START
mode
- as soon as you want to move
of
f.
The
restart takes place instantly,
quickly
and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system
reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust
emissions as well as the noise
level
when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-
with
a 6-speed electronic
gearbox,
at speeds below 5 mph
(8
km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever into
position
N. If
your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a
time counter calculates the sum of
the
periods in STOP
mode during a
journey
. It rests itself to zero every time
the
ignition is switched on with the key.
With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox,
for your comfort during
parking
manoeuvres, STOP
mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming
out of reverse gear.
STOP
mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking,
power steering, for example.
n

unavailable
STOP
mode is not invoked when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-
the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-
the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last
engine
start using the key,
-
the
engine is needed to maintain
a
comfortable temperature in the
passenger
compartment,
-
demisting
is on,
-
some
special conditions (battery
charge,
engine temperature,
braking
assistance, ambient
temperature...)
where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

"ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a
few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
