Alarm
Perimeter protection
The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a
door, the boot, the bonnet...Self-protection function
The system checks for the putting out of
service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the
central control or the siren wiring are put
out of service or damaged.
For all work on the alarm system, contact

Each fitted with an adjustable mirror glass
permitting the lateral rearward vision necessary
for overtaking or parking. They can also be
folded for parking in confined spaces.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should
be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
Demisting - Defrosting
Demisting-defrosting of the door

running, by switching on the heated
rear screen.
For more information on Demisting and
defrosting the rear screen , refer to the
corresponding section.

Headlight beam height adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
users, the height of the headlight beams should
be adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.
Depending on the version, this adjustment can
be carried out using the control located:
-

Bonnet
F Raise the bonnet to access the control (one per headlight).

- 5 people.
1 5 people + maximum authorised load in
the boot.
- Driver on his own + maximum authorised
load in the boot.
The higher number positions can be used, but
may limit the area illuminated by the headlights.
The initial setting is position "0". Travelling abroad
The design of the dipped beam headlights
allows, without modification, driving in a
country that drives on the other side of the
road to the country in which your vehicle
was sold.

Safety

Tyre under-inflation detection
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 ever y 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.Under-inflation alert
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 worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys). 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.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label. This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the light,
an audible signal and a message
displayed on the screen.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
F I f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.

F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.
