Before any action on the
windscreen (washing the
vehicle, de-icing, cleaning
the windscreen, etc.) return
stalk

1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
sWindscreen wiper
With the ignition on, pull stalk 1
towards you.
A
brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
nWindscreen wiper
With the ignition on, move
stalk

1 around the steering wheel:
A
Park.
B


Intermittent wiping.
T

he wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps.
C

Normal wiping speed.
D


Fast wiping speed.When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position A (park). Risk
of injury.
In frosty weather, make sure that
the wiper blades are not stuck by ice
(risk of motor overheating).
Keep an eye on the condition of the
blades. Replace the wiper blades as
soon as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Clean your windscreen regularly.
If you switch off the ignition before
switching off the windscreen wiper
(position
A )

the blades will stop at
random on the windscreen.
After switching the ignition back on,
simply move stalk
1 to position
A
to
place them in the park position.

urn the ignition key to ignition “On” po-

preheating warning light goes out.
Move the key to “Start” position D with-
out accelerating. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.
Starting the engine
In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not
activated. Refer to the information on
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Starting/stopping the engine
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehicle with the key or remote control inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child may endanger himself or others by starting the engine, activating equipment such
as the window winders for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo,
power assisted steering and passive safety equipment such as air bags wi\
ll no longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key is removed.

On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.

D
o 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

before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.

P
oor weather conditions, flooded
roads. Do not drive through water if it
is higher than the lower edge of the
wheel rim.Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system de-
tects operating faults in the vehicle’s
antipollution system. These faults may
cause mechanical damage or the re-
lease of harmful substances.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after three
seconds.

f it comes on continuously, consult
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
–

If

it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Driving– 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.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
Driving problems
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats specially adapted
for the vehicle and attached
to prefitted devices. Check regularly
to make sure they are secure. Do
not overlay several mats.
Risk of pedals jamming .
– Speed is expensive.
–

Sporty
driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
–

Study
the road ahead so that you are
able to brake as little as possible, it
can be sufficient just to lift off the ac-
celerator.
–

A
void sudden acceleration.
–

Do
not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears. Always use the
highest gear possible without labour-
ing the engine.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
–

N
ever fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
–

D
o not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
–

It
is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
–

W
hen towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are not
really needed.
However (safety first), keep your
lights on when the visibility is bad
(“see and be seen”).
–

U
se the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –

A
void using the vehicle for door-to-
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
–

insuf
ficient pressure,
–

using non-recommended tyres.

ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
Driver correction devices/aids
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
–

t
h e A B S ( a n t i - l o c k b r a k i n g
system);
–

emergency brake assist.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
