50Ease of use and comfort03
The connection of an unapproved
electrical device, such as a USB charger,
may adversely affect the operation of vehicle
electrical systems, causing faults such as poor
radio reception or interference with displays in
the screens.

very detailed higher frequencies.
–

12-w
ay active amplification - 515 Watts: Hybrid
Class AB / Class D technology providing breadth
and finesse in the high frequency signals, as well
as real power in the bass.
–

Sub
woofer: 200 mm triple coil Power Flower
TM
technology for defined and dynamic reproduction
of lower frequencies.
Subwoofer under boot mat: vacuum the
grille regularly and be careful not to have
any liquids nearby.
Wireless smartphone charger



It allows wireless charging of a portable device
such as a smartphone, using the magnetic
induction principle, in accordance with the Qi 1.1
standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting system, the
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted when
a door is opened or the ignition is switched off.
Charging
►  With the charging area clear, place a device in
its centre.


When the portable device is detected, the
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge
multiple devices simultaneously.


Do not leave any metal objects (coins,
keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in the
charging area while a device is being charged,
due to the risk of overheating or interrupting
the charging process.
Operating check
The state of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.

81Driving06
– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10%
per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower air
density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle
and the nose weight (at the point where it joins
your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted
without exceeding it.
Tyres
►  Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle
and of the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
►  Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine towing device is used, the
rear parking sensors will be deactivated
automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►  Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine immobiliser
system, with a code that must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a dealer.
Starting/Switching off the
engine
The electronic key must be present in the
passenger compartment.
For versions equipped with Proximity Keyless
Entry and Start, the electronic key is also
detected in the boot.
If it is not detected, a message is displayed.
Move the electronic key so that the engine can
be started or switched off.
If there is still a problem, refer to the "Key not
detected - Back-up starting or Back-up switch-
off" section.

Practical information07
Do not dispose of AdBlue® containers in
the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
bought them.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle to
free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling road,
in an automatic car wash, or being transported by
rail or sea freight, etc.).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
With a manual gearbox and
electric parking brake
/
Release procedure
►  With the engine running and while depressing
the brake pedal, move the gear selector to the
neutral position.
►  While depressing the brake pedal, switch off
the ignition.
►  Release the brake pedal, then switch on the
ignition again.
►  While depressing the brake pedal, press the
control lever to release the parking brake.
►  Release the brake pedal, then switch off the
ignition.
Reverting to normal operation
►  While depressing the brake pedal, start the
engine.
With EAT8 automatic gearbox
or drive selector and electric
parking brake
/
Release procedure
►  With the vehicle stationary and the engine
running, select mode N and switch off the
ignition.
Within 5 seconds:
►  Switch on the ignition again.
►  While depressing the brake pedal, move the
push selector forwards or backwards to confirm
mode N.
►  While depressing the brake pedal, press the
control lever to release the parking brake.
►  Release the brake pedal, switch off the
ignition.
If the 5-second time limit is exceeded, the gearbox
engages mode P; it is then necessary to restart
the procedure.
Reverting to normal operation
►  While depressing the brake pedal, restart the
engine.
Keyless Entry and Starting
You must not depress the brake pedal
while switching the ignition on or off. If you do,
the engine will start, requiring you to restart
the procedure.
Advice on care and
maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging your vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in the
engine compartment, due to the risk of
damaging electrical components.
Do not wash the vehicle in strong sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle at an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
remove the electronic key and deactivate the
“hands-free” function (“Hands-Free Tailgate
Access”).
When using a pressure washer, hold the lance
at least 30 cm from the vehicle (particularly
when cleaning areas containing chipped paint,
sensors or seals).
