UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION WITH REINITIALISATION
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures
in the four tyres, once the vehicle is
moving.
It compares the information given by
the four wheel speed sensors with
reference values, which must be
reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon
as
it detects a drop in the inflation
pressure
of one or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system does not replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the
driver
.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before
a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
impairs
road holding, extends braking
distances and causes premature
tyre wear
, particularly under arduous
condition (high loading, high speed,
long
journey).
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
increases
fuel consumption.The
inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the
tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
identification
markings, refer to the
corresponding
section.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
for 1 hour or after a journey of
less
than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Otherwise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the
pressures shown on the label.

The information appears
in the instrument panel
in the form of an arrow. It
may be accompanied by a
recommended
gear.
The system adapts its gear
change recommendation
according to the driving conditions
(slope,
load, ...) and the demands
of the driver (power
, acceleration,
braking, ...).
The
system never suggests:
-
engaging
first gear,
-
engaging
reverse gear.
With an electronic gearbox, the system
is
only
active
in
manual
mode.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one (or more)
gear(s).
Y
ou can follow this instruction
without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered
compulsory.
This
is
because
the configuration of the road,
the
traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing
the
best gear.
Therefore,
the driver
remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications
given.
This
function cannot be deactivated.
System which reduces fuel
consumption by recommending the
most
appropriate
gear.

Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing
down firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking
brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument
panel.
Before doing anything in the
engine
compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral
N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle
to change up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-
If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically
, to first gear if
needed.
-
It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.
-
A
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-
For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may
be performed automatically.
Manual mode
Changing to manual mode
Move the gear selector to M. Automatic mode Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in
automatic mode, without any action on
your
part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best
suited
to
the
following
conditions:
-
driving style,
-
road
profile,
-
optimum
fuel
consumption.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP
mode
- during stops in the traffic (red
lights,
traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want to
move
off.
The
restart takes place instantly,
quickly
and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level
when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP modeThe "ECO" warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into
standby:
-
with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-
with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at speeds below 5 mph
(8
km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever into
position
N. If
your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in ST
OP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the
ignition is switched on with the key.
With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, for your comfort during
parking manoeuvres, STOP
mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming
out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP
mode is not invoked when:
-
the vehicle is on a steep slope
(rising or fallin
g),
-
the driver's door is open,
-
the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-
the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine
start using the key,
-
the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
-
demisting is on,
-
some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking
assistance, ambient temperature...)
where the engine is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning
lamp flashes for a
few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit
off-road activities such as:
-
crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear of
f components (fuel pipe,
fuel
cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,
-
driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-
crossing
a stream.
On snow, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor
grip
to
be
accommodated.
The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters
in
the
best
way.

REFUELLING
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off.
-
Open
the fuel filler flap.
-
Insert
the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-
Remove
the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap. When
filling with fuel, a
mechanical system prevents
opening
of the left-hand side door.
When
the fuel filler flap is open, ensure
that
no one tries to slide this door.
Once
the flap has been closed, the
sliding
side door may jam, push the
door
to close it then open it.
When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes
on. A
label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
Y
ou must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for
it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When
the fuel filler cap is opened,
there
may be a slight inrush of air.
This
vacuum is entirely normal and is due to
the
sealing of the fuel system.
When
filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
This
could
cause malfunctions.
The
capacity
of
the
fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres (or 55 litres
according
to
version).
-
After
filling
the
fuel tank, lock the
cap
and
close
the flap.
You then have approximately 8 litres
of
fuel
remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running
out
of
fuel.
Never
risk
driving
until
you
run
out
of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control
and
injection
systems.
