Activation/Deactivation
►  With the engine running, press button 1 to
activate the system and deploy the projection
blade.
►  Press and hold button 2 to deactivate the
system and retract the projection blade.
The state of the system is saved when the engine

Brightness adjustment
► With the engine running, adjust the brightness
of the information display using the buttons 3: •

on the "
sun" to increase the brightness,
•

on the "moon
" to decrease the brightness.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
projection blade (or in its recess) so as not to
impede its movement and correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),
the head-up display may not be legible or may
suffer temporary interference.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean, soft
cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre
cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or
detergent or solvent products, due to the risk
of scratching the projection blade or damaging
the non-reflective coating.
Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp for
further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on for
a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
These warning lamps should go off as soon as the
engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function,
refer to the corresponding section.

door controls to unlock the vehicle.
►  After deadlocking, it is necessary to use
the remote control, the “Keyless Entry and
Starting” system or the integral key to unlock
the vehicle.

Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons
while out of range of the vehicle, due to
the risk of rendering the remote control
inoperative. It would then be necessary to
reset it.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle
immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency services to
enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, take the electronic key
with you when leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by
a dealer, to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones able to start the
vehicle.
Emergency procedures
Lost keys, remote control,
electronic key
Go to a dealer with the vehicle’s registration
certificate and your personal identification
documents.
The dealer will be able to retrieve the key code
and the transponder code, enabling a new key to
be ordered.

System which protects and provides a deterrent
against theft and break-ins.
Exterior perimeter monitoring
The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a
door, the boot or the bonnet, for example.
Interior volumetric monitoring
The system checks for any variation in volume in
the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a window,
enters the passenger compartment or moves
inside the vehicle.
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 is put out of service or
damaged.
For all work on the alarm system, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Locking the vehicle with full
alarm system
Activation
►  Switch off the ignition and exit the vehicle.
►  Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the remote
control or by pressing on one of the front door
handles.
When the monitoring system is active, the red
indicator lamp in the button flashes once per
second and the direction indicators come on for
about 2 seconds.
The exterior perimeter monitoring is activated
after 5 seconds and the interior volumetric
monitoring after 45 seconds.
The alarm does not activate when locking
automatically from a distance.
If an opening (door, boot or bonnet) is not
properly closed, the vehicle is not locked,
but the exterior perimeter monitoring will be
activated after 45 seconds, at the same time
as the interior volumetric monitoring.
Deactivation
►  Press one of the remote control unlocking
buttons:
short press
long press
or
►  Unlock the vehicle using the remote control or
by pressing one of the front door handles.
The monitoring system is deactivated: the
indicator lamp in the button goes off and the
direction indicators flash for about 2 seconds.
After unlocking using the remote control
If the vehicle automatically locks itself
again (as happens if a door or the boot is not
opened within 30 seconds of unlocking), the
monitoring system is automatically activated.
Locking the vehicle with
exterior perimeter monitoring

air outlets and the air extractor in the boot free
from obstructions.
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►  Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order.
►  If the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►  Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special
active additive, this type of filter helps to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and keep the passenger compartment clean
(by reducing allergic symptoms, unpleasant
odours and greasy deposits).
►  To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start, refer
to the corresponding section.

system controls page.

Air conditioning on / off
The air conditioning system is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed.
It is used to:
– lower the temperature in summer,
– increase the effectiveness of the demisting in
winter, above 3°C.
►  Press button 4 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
Air conditioning does not operate when
the air flow is disabled.
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable interior
air recirculation for a brief period. Then return
to the intake of exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity or misting).
