X = Seat not suitable for fitting child seats.
U = Seat which allows a child seat with “Universal” approval to be ins\
talled using a seat belt; check that it can be fitted.
IUF/IL = On equipped vehicles, seat which allows an approved “Universal”/“\
semi-universal” or “vehicle specific” child seat to be
attached using the ISOFIX system; check that it can be fitted.
(1) Raise the seat to the maximum and position it as far back as possible, t\
ilting the seatback slightly (approximately 25°).
(2) A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least \
two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nea rest
the door.
(3) Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing \
child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will
go, although without allowing it to come into contact with the child sea\
t.
(4) Forward-facing child seat; position the seatback of the child seat in co\
ntact with the seatback of the vehicle seat. Adjust the
headrest, or remove it if necessary. Do not push the front seat more than halfway back on its runners and d\
o not recline the
seatback more than 25°.

Automatic main beam
headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system
switches the main beam headlights on
and off automatically. The function uses
a camera located behind the interior
rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that
are following and coming in the oppo-
site direction.
The main beam headlights come on au-
tomatically if:
– exterior light is weak;
– no other vehicles or lighting are de-tected;
– the vehicle speed is above approxi- mately 30 mph (45 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are not
fulfilled, the system switches to dipped
beam headlights.
The “automatic main beam headlights” system should under no circum\
-
stances be used to replace driver attention and responsibility with rega\
rd
to vehicle lighting and adapting to light, visibility and traffic conditions.
Using the portable naviga-
tion system at night in the
windscreen area below the
camera may disturb the op-
eration of the “automatic main beam
headlights” system (risk of reflection
on the windscreen).
Activation
Turn ring 2 until the AUTO symbol is op-
posite mark 3.
Pull stalk 1 to activate main beam
headlights.
Warning light
 comes on the in-
strument panel.
Deactivation
– pull stalk 1 again;
or
– turn ring 2 to a position other than
AUTO.
Warning light
 goes out on the in-
strument panel.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (2/4)
Turning on the fog lights deactivates
the system and prevents it from
being activated.
The system may encounter difficul-
ties under certain conditions, includ-
ing :
– extreme weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.);
– obstruction in front of the wind- screen or camera;
– when a following or oncoming ve- hicle has weak or hidden lighting;
– incorrect settings for the front headlights;
– reflecting systems.

1.81
EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (4/4)
When driving in fog or snow, or
when transporting objects which are
higher than the roof, the headlights
do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains
the responsibility of the driver: the
indicator lights on the instrument
panel inform you whether the fog
lights are lit (indicator light on) or not
(indicator light not on).

gFront fog lights
Turn centre ring 5 on stalk 1
until the symbol faces mark 6, then re-
lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting position selected,
and an indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
fRear fog light
Turn centre ring 5 on the stalk
until the symbol faces mark 6, then re-
lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting selected, and an in-
dicator light will light up on the instru-
ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road
users, remember to switch off the rear
fog light when it is no longer needed.
Lights-on reminder buzzer
If the lights are on after the engine is
switched off, a warning beep sounds
when the driver’s door is opened to
warn you that the lights are still on.
Switching off the lights
Turn ring 5 again until mark 6 is oppo-
site the symbol for the fog light that you
wish to switch off. The corresponding
indicator light on the instrument panel
goes out.
The front and rear fog lights switch off
when the exterior lights are switched
off.

Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the vehi-
cle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.Vehicle fitted with intermittent
windscreen wipers

The wipers will pause for seve-
ral seconds between sweeps. It
is possible to change the time
between sweeps by turning ring 2.

Position C is accessible with the
ignition on. Positions B and D are
accessible only with the engine run-
ning.
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the winds- creen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (3/5)
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
automatic wiping, the wiper is set to
intermittent wiping. Contact an au-
thorised dealer.
The operation of the rain sensor can
be disturbed in the event of:
– damaged wiper blades; a screen
of water or traces left by a blade in
the sensor’s detection zone may
increase the response time of the
automatic wiper, or increase the
wiping frequency;
– a windscreen with any chip or
crack level with the sensor, or a
windscreen covered in dust, dirt,
insects, ice, the use of washing
wax and water-repellent chemi-
cals; the automatic wiping will
be less sensitive, or even unres-
ponsive.

cle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.

Precautions
– In the event of ice, check whether the
blades are stuck to the windscreen
before operating the wiping mecha-
nism. If you activate the wipers while
the blades are stuck down with ice,
you may risk damaging both the
blade and the wiper motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to the prema-
ture wear or damage to the blades.
