EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/5)
Operating faults
Depending on the vehicle, when the
message “Check lighting” appears on
the instrument panel along with the
© warning light, this indicates that
there is a lighting fault.
Consult an approved dealer.
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 3 to position 0;
– automatically, the lights will go out when the engine is switched off, the
driver’s door is opened or the vehicle
is locked. In this case, the next time
the engine is started the lights will be
switched back on according to the
position of the ring 3.
NB: if the fog lights are on, the lighting
is not switched off automatically.
Daytime running lights
function
Depending on the vehicle, the day-
time running lights come on (only at the
front) without starting the engine. To ac-
tivate or deactivate this function, refer
to the information on the “Vehicle set-
tings customisation menu” in Section 1.
Directional headlights
Depending on the vehicle, with the
dipped beam headlights on and under
certain conditions (speed, steering
wheel angle, forwards gear selected,
etc.) when cornering, the dipped beam
headlights move to light the inside of
the bend.
Special features
– For vehicles fitted with automatic lighting, if the dipped beam head-
lights are manually switched on and
the light is sufficient, the directional
headlights will remain fixed;
– If the lights come on automatically when cornering, the directional
headlights will start working from the
next time the vehicle corners;
– When the dipped beam headlights are switched on with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary,
the lights move to reinitialise them-
selves. If not, there is a system fault.

– 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.
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
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/3)
An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-
played to let you assess your eco driv-
ing performance. The higher the score,
the better your eco-driving perform-
ance.
Eco advice is given to help improve
your performance.
With your favourite journeys saved, you
can evaluate your performance.
For more information, please see the
multimedia system instructions.
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.

If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principleEach wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure. The system informs
the driver via the on-board compu-
ter 1 that the tyres are sufficiently in-
flated and warns if they are underinfla-
ted or leaking. The warning light
comes on to warn the driver if the pres-
sure is too low. It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
With the ignition on:
– make short presses on the con-
trol 2 to select the tyre pressure
display (please refer to “On-board
Computer” in Section 1);
– press and hold (around three sec- onds) the control 2 to launch initial-
isation. Flashing tyres followed by
the message “Pressure ref ongoing”
means that the request to learn the
reference pressures has been taken
into account;
– reset can take several minutes of dri- ving.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vi-
gilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (1/4)
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping wheels over (how- ever this practice is not recom-
mended);
– after changing a wheel.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (2/4)
« Adjust tyre pressure »
A wheel A shown in orange on the dis-
play 4 together with the warning light
indicates a flat tyre.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the
pressures of the four wheels when cold.
While driving the warning light 3
goes off after a few minutes.
DisplayThe display 4 and the warning light 3
on the instrument panel warns
you of any inflation faults (flat tyre,
puncture, system fault, etc.).
34
A
The sudden loss of pressure in a
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.For your safety, the warning light ® requires you to stop immedia-
tely as soon as traffic conditions allow.
« Puncture »
The affected wheel A appears red on
the display 4 along with the warning
light 3
and a beep. They indicate
that the affected wheel is punctured
or severely underinflated. Replace it
or contact an authorised dealer if it is
punctured. Top up the tyre pressure if
the wheel is deflated. This message
appears along with the
® warn-
ing light.
« Check tyre pressure sensors »
The affected wheel A is shown in white
on the display 4 together with the
flashing warning light 3
and the
warning light
©. This message ap-
pears when at least one wheel fitted on
the vehicle does not have a sensor (e.g.
emergency spare wheel). Otherwise,
consult an authorised dealer.

2.22
Readjustment of tyre
pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when they are cold, the recommended
pressures should be increased by 0.2
to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Tyre repair product and
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially desi-
gned, only use equipment approved by
the approved network.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (3/4)
Interchangeability of wheels
If you want to swap the wheels round,
consult an authorised dealer to reinitia-
lise the system.
Each of the sensors incor-
porated in the valves 5 is
dedicated to a single wheel:
under no circumstances
should you swap the wheels, with-
out resetting the system.
There is a risk of incorrect informa-
tion which could have serious con-
sequences.

Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system
and available from your dealer net-
work: the use of any other accessory
could affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor. When it is fitted to the vehicle,
the message “Check tyre pressure sen-
sors” is displayed on the instrument
panel.
Changing a wheel
The system may take several minutes depending on use for the new
wheel positions and pressures to be recognised; check the tyre pres-
sures after all operations.
