Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to   obtain   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly,   thus   reducing   the   stopping   distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal   is   pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking
 e

fficiency.
When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
f

irmly   without   releasing   the   pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (
d
SC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control)   optimises   traction   to   prevent   skidding  
o

f   the   wheels,   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the  
d

riving   wheels   and   on   the   engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake
  of   one   or   more   wheels   and   on   the   engine  
t

o   keep   the   vehicle   on   the   trajectory   required  
b

y   the   driver,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws   of  
p

hysics.Activation
These systems are activated automatically each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
They
  come   into   operation   in   the   event   of   a   grip  
o

r
 t
rajectory
 pro
blem.
This
  is   indicated   by   flashing   of   this  
w

arning   lamp   in   the   instrument   panel.

Fuel tankFuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (diesel) or 33 litres (LPg) ;
(dep ending on version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or di esel)).
Low fuel level
Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   be   used   depending   on  
y

our
 eng
ine.
Additions
  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   7   litres,   in  
o

rder   to   be   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.The
  key   cannot   be   removed   from   the  
l

ock   until   the   cap   is   refitted.
Opening
  the   filler   cap   may   create   a  
n

oise   caused   by   an   inrush   of   air.   This  
v

acuum   is   entirely   normal,   resulting  
f

rom   the   sealing   of   the   fuel   system.
To
  fill   the   tank   safely:
F

t
he engine must be switched off,
F

o
pen the fuel filler flap,
F
 
i
nsert   the   key   in   the   cap,   then   turn   it   to   the  
l

eft,F
 r emove   the   cap   and   hook   it   onto   the   clip  
l

ocated on the inside of the flap,
F
 
f
ill   the   tank,   but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ;
  this   could   cause  
m

alfunctions.
When
  you   have   filled   the   tank:
F
 
p
ut   the   cap   back   in   place,
F
 
t
urn   the   key   to   the   right,   then   remove   it  
f

rom   the   cap,
F
 
c
lose   the   flap.
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached   this   warning   lamp   comes   on o

n   the   instrument   panel.   When   it   first
 c

omes   on   there   remains   approximately
5 litres
  of   fuel   in   the   tank.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system  in   STOP   mode;   you   must   switch  
o

ff   the   ignition   with   the   key.
You
 
must   refuel   as   soon   as   possible   to   avoid  
r

unning   out   of   fuel.
If
 
you
 
run   out   of   fuel   (Diesel),   refer   also   to   the  
"

Checks"

ection.

Load reduction modeSystem which manages the use of certain functions   according   to   the   level   of   charge  
r

emaining   in   the   battery.
When
  the   vehicle   is   being   driven,   the   load  
r

eduction   function   temporarily   deactivates  
c

ertain   functions,   such   as   the   air   conditioning,  
t

he   heated   rear   screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically
  as   soon   as   conditions   permit.Energy economy modeSystem which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of c
harge   in   the   battery.
After
  the   engine   has   stopped,   you   can   still   use   functions   such   as   the   audio   equipment,   windscreen  
w

ipers,   dipped   beam   headlamps,   courtesy   lamps,   etc.   for   a   maximum   combined   period   of  
t

hirty minutes. This
  period   may   be   greatly   reduced   if  
t

he   battery   is   not   fully   charged.
A
  flat   battery   prevents   the   engine   from  
s

tarting.
If
  the   telephone   is   being   used   at   the  
s

ame   time,   it   will   be   interrupted   after  
10
 m

inutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears   in   the   screen   indicating   that   the  
v

ehicle   has   switched   to   economy   mode   and   the  
a

ctive   functions   are   put   on   standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically the   next   time   the   vehicle   is   driven.
F
 
I
n   order   to   resume   the   use   of   these  
f

unctions   immediately,   start   the   engine   and  
l

et   it   run   for   a   few   minutes.
The
  time   available   to   you   will   then   be   double  
t

he   period   for   which   the   engine   is   left   running.  
H

owever, this period will always be between
five
  and   thirty   minutes.
