EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (1/5)
uSide lights
Turn ring 3 until the symbol is opposite
mark 2.
The instrument panel will light up.
Side position lights(depending on the vehicle)
These draw other road users’ attention
to the width of the vehicle.
They come on when the side lights are
switched on.
Before driving at night,
check that the electrical
equipment is operating cor-
rectly and adjust the head-
light beams (if your vehicle is not
carrying its normal load). In gen-
eral, check that the lights are not
obscured (by dirt, mud, snow or ob-
jects which could cover them).

Manual operation
Turn ring 3 until the symbol is opposite
mark 2 . This indicator light on the in-
strument panel comes on.
Automatic operation
(depending on vehicle)
Turn ring 3 until the AUTO symbol is op-
posite mark 2: with the engine running,
the dipped beam headlights switch on
or off automatically depending on the
brightness of the light outside, without
any action on stalk 1.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder with tail-
gate open, the rear lights
may be obscured. You
should make other road users aware
of your vehicle by using a warning
triangle or other equipment speci-
fied by the road traffic regulations of
the country you are driving in.

FUEL TANK (1/2)
Filling the tank
Open the driver’s door in order to open
flap 1.
Depending on the vehicle, unlock cap 2
using the key.
Remove cap 2 and attach it to flap 1.
Useful capacity of fuel tank: approxi-
mately 105 litres or 80 litres (depend-
ing on the vehicle).
Filling with fuel
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made to maintain an expansion
volume.
Fuel grade
It is essential to use diesel. Make
sure that no water accidentally enters
the fuel tank during filling. The shut-off
system and its surrounding area must
be dust-free. The diesel fuel must be of
a high grade.

After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
Fuel filler cap: this is of a
special type.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an ap-
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not add additive to the
fuel – otherwise you risk damaging
the engine.
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

Please ensure that you comply with the
legislation of your country.
It is important to remember that failure
to respect regulations in force could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner.
Operating principleThe use of additives reduces exhaust
emissions by transforming the pollu-
tants into water vapour and nitrogen.
Topping upCapacity of the fuel tank: 20 litres ap-
proximately.
Open the front passenger door to open
the cover 2. Unscrew the cap 1.
ADDITIVE TANK (1/6)
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical to
the original cap. Contact an appro-
ved Dealer. Do not wash the filler
area with a high pressure washer.

No work whatsoever is
permitted on any part of
the system. To prevent
damage, only qualified per-

pears, fill the additive tank
(minimum 2.2 gallons
[10 litres]) and refer to the filling in-
structions.
Risk of immobilisation of the
vehicle.
Topping up
After filling the additive
tank, check that the cap and
cover are closed, start the
engine and IMPERATIVELY wait
for 10 seconds with the vehicle
stationary, engine running before
setting off again.
If this operation is not carried out,
the filling of the tank will only be
taken into account automatically
after at least several dozens of mi-
nutes of driving.
The message “--- ADD ADBLUE”
and/or the warning lights will conti-
nue to appear until the filling has
been taken into account by the
system.

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.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)
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
– 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 the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.

Electronic stability program
(ESC) with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
flashes on the instrument panel.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced un-
dersteer (loss of front axle road hol-
ding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving 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 responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ESC” and
warning light
© and appear
on the instrument panel. In this case,
the ESC and traction control system
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/5)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ABS” ap-
pears on the instrument panel along
with the
© warning light.
Consult an approved dealer.
Driver assistance with a
trailer
This system helps to maintain control
over the vehicle while using a trailer.
It detects shaking caused by towing a
trailer under certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
– the towbar must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the harness must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the towbar must be connected to the vehicle.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
– asymmetric braking of the front wheels to reduce shaking caused by
the trailer;
– braking of all four wheels and limita- tion on engine torque to reduce the
vehicle speed until the shaking has
stopped.
Warning light
flashes on the in-
strument panel to inform the driver.
