Note:
To ensure the headlight washers op-
erate correctly in winter, remove snow 
from the jet trims and de-ice the jet 
trims using an aerosol de-icer.
You are recommended to regularly 
remove dirt encrusted on the headlight 
glass.
When the minimum windscreen washer 
fluid level is reached, the headlight 
washer system may be deprimed.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid and 
then activate the windscreen washer, 
with the engine running, to reprime 
the system.

Headlight washers
Headlights on
On equipped vehicles, hold stalk  1 
pulled towards you for about 2 seconds 
- the headlight washers and winds-
creen washers will be activated at the 
same time.
The headlight washers are also activa-
ted after three prolonged movements 
on the front windscreen washer control.
When working in the engine 
compartment, ensure that 
the windscreen wiper stalk 
is in position  B (stop).
Risk of injury.

–  Do not overrev the engine in the in-termediate gears.
  You should always use the highest  gear possible.
–  Avoid sudden acceleration.
–  Brake as little as possible. If you an- ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release 
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same  speed up a hill, accelerate no more 
than you would on flat ground. Keep 
your foot in the same position on the 
accelerator pedal.
–  Double declutching and accelerating  before switching off are unnecessary 
in modern vehicles.
Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
–  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.
–  Speed is expensive.
–  Dynamic driving with a lot of frequent  acceleration and braking is expen-
sive on fuel in comparison to the time 
saved.
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/5)
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only 
use mats suitable for the 
vehicle, attached with the 
pre-fitted components, and check 
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one 
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the 
pedals
–  Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through 
floods if the water is 
above the lower edge of 
the wheel rims.

Jack 2Fold it correctly before refitting it in its 
housing (ensure that the wheelbrace is 
correctly positioned).
Lever 3
This tightens or releases the tow eye 5.
Hubcap tool 4This tool is used to remove the wheel 
trims.
Tow eye 5Please see “Towing: breakdown recov-
ery” in Section 5.
Wheelbrace 1Locks or unlocks the wheel bolts and 
tow eye 5.
The presence of the tools depends on 
the vehicle.
The tools are located in a tray under the 
boot carpet.
Lift the cover and remove them.
TOOLS
Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come loo\
se under braking. After use, check that all the 
tools are correctly clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctl\
y in its housing: there is a risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, only use these bolts for th\
e emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed 
to the emergency spare wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances should it be used for carrying out repairs un-
derneath the vehicle or to gain access to the underside of the vehicle.

Remove the wheel trim using hubcap 
tool 1 (located in the tool kit) by en-
gaging the hook in the opening near 
valve 2.
To refit it, align it with valve 2. Push the 
retaining hooks in fully, starting with 
side  A near the valve, followed by  B 
and  C, finishing at D opposite the valve.
WHEEL TRIMS - WHEEL
Do not leave the tools un-
secured inside the vehicle 
as they may come loose 
under braking. After use, 
check that all the tools are correctly 
clipped into the tool kit, then posi-
tion it correctly in its housing: risk of 
injury.

TYRES (1/3)
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition 
and the tread form must have sufficient 
depth; tyres approved by our Technical 
Department have tread wear indica-
tors 1 which are indicators moulded 
into the tread at several points .
The tyres are the only contact between 
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres 
conform to local road traffic regulations.
When the tread has worn down to the 
wear warning strips, 
these strips will 
become visible  2: it is then necessary 
to replace your tyres because the tread 
rubber is now  only 1.6 mm deep at 
most, resulting in poor road holding 
on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys 
by motorway, particularly in very hot 
weather, or continual driving on poorly 
surfaced minor roads will lead to more 
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when 
driving, such as striking the 
kerb, may damage the tyres 
and wheel rims, and could 
also lead to misalignment of the 
front or rear axle geometry. In this 
case, have the condition of these 
checked by an approved dealer.

1
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the 
same make, size, type and profile 
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and a speed capacity at 
least equal to the original tyres, 
or correspond to those recom-
mended by your authorised 
dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions 
could endanger your safety and 
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
