Clean the front bumper, removing the
snow, mud, ... If one of the two sensors (camera
or radar) is masked or its visibility
is reduced, while the other sensor
is able to work normally, the system
still operates, but at a lower level of
per formance. t
h
is is not indicated by a
message or a warning lamp.
to e
nsure correct operation of the radar
radar, do not paint over the paintwork
on the vehicle's bumper.
Keep the windscreen in front of the
camera clean.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on
the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this
could mask the camera's view.
Lane departure warning system
System that uses a camera to recognise
continuous or broken lines on traffic lanes and
triggers an alert if the vehicle wanders off line.
If the direction indicator is not used at speeds
above 37 mph (60 km/h) and there is a risk of
one of these lines on the ground being crossed,
the system triggers the alert.
th

e system is particularly useful on motor ways
and fast roads.
Detection - Alert
You are alerted by the flashing of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible
signal.
No alert is given while the direction
indicators are operating and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicators are switched off.
th

e lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe the driving
regulations and to take a break every
two hours.

this system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree,
gate) which comes within the field of detection
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (examples: stake,
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
field of detection.
Parking sensors
the system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
th
is is confirmed by an audible signal.
th

e system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
Rear parking sensors
this supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen or the instrument
panel which move progressively nearer to
the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the
"Danger" symbol is displayed.
Visual assistance
this system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
th
e proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.th e sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in
the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision. When it first comes on, less than 8 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the tank
drained and refilled with the correct
fuel before you star t the engine.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
Diesel misfuel
prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of engine damage that can result from
filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap.
t
h
e system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
If your vehicle has sliding side doors, do
not open the left hand sliding door as
there is a risk of damaging the fuel filler
flap when refuelling.

System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum
combined duration of about forty minutes.
Switching to economy
mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this time, it
will be maintained for around 10 minutes with

these functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

f
or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-

f
or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately
thirty


minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
For more information on the 12 V batter y , refer
to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.

oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick

the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
the brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
the coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
to a

off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.

Changing the coolant
the coolant does not have to be replaced at
routine services.
Fluid specification
the coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
th
e check and top-up must be done
with the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents the risk of
serious damage to your engine.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
