2.17
ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (e.g. 170 g/km, equivalent to
6.4 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Vehicles are also fitted with anti-pollu-
tion systems such as a catalytic con-
verter, an oxygen sensor, and more.
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too
– Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations. – At the end of the vehicle’s service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of
the manufacturer eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste).

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
1
When fitted to the vehicle, this system
notifies the driver if one or more tyres
lose pressure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.).
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 a wheel (however this practice is not recommended);
– after changing a wheel.
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.).
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 vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

2.20
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/3)
« CHECK TYRE PRESSURE
SENSORS »
The warning light
 flashes for
several seconds, then stays on, along
with the message “CHECK TYRE
PRESSURE SENSORS”.
This message appears along with the
© warning light.
They indicate that at least one tyre is
not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency
spare wheel). Otherwise, consult an
authorised dealer.
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 tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Please see the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5.
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 on the vehicle,
the warning light
 flashes for sev-
eral seconds, then stays on, together
with the warning light
© and the
message “CHECK TYRE PRESSURE
SENSORS” appears on the instrument
panel.
Tyre repair product and
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially de-
signed, only use equipment approved
by the approved network. Please refer
to “Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.
Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-
eral minutes depending on
use for the new wheel pres-
sures to be recognised; check the
tyre pressures after all operations.

2.22
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing 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.
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 under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle 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 behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
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 vigi-
lance or responsibility of the driver
when manoeuvring the vehicle (the
driver must always be ready for
sudden incidents which may occur
when driving).

2.35
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the
rear bumper (depending on the vehi-
cle), measure the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst revers-
ing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 1 shows the area around the ve-
hicle.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
1
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: al\
ways
ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a chil\
d, animal,
pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic
sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).

OPERATING FAULTS (7/7)
Electrical equipmentPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Traces of condensation in the lights. Traces of condensation may be a nat- ural phenomenon caused by varia-
tions in temperature.
In this case, the traces will disappear
slowly once the lights are switched
on.
The front seat belt reminder light
comes on when the seat belts are
fastened. An object is stuck between the floor
and the seat and is disrupting the op-
eration of the sensor. Remove all objects from underneath the
front seats.
