Removing a wheel
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse – Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only at
one of the jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact sur face is centred on the head of
the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged and/or the jack could collapse –
Risk of injury!
*
position R for the electronic gearbox, P for
the automatic gearbox Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear* so as to
block the wheels.
If necessary, place a
chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel , first remove
the wheel trim using wheelbrace 1
by
pulling at the valve aperture.
When refitting the wheel , after tightening
the wheel bolts, refit the wheel trim,
starting by placing its aperture in line with
the valve and then pushing it into place all
round its edge with the palm of your hand.

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a
protective coating:
F

d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a


bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a
lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a
failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification.
Front lamps
Halogen headlamps
1. Direction indicators (PY21W amber).
2. Sidelamps (W5W).
3. Main beam headlamps (H1-55W).
4. Dipped beam headlamps (H7-55W).
5. LED foglamps.
6. LED daytime running lamps.
Direction indicators
Rapid flashing of the direction indicator
lamp (left or right) indicates that one of
the bulbs on the corresponding side has
failed.
F

T
urn the bulb holder a quarter turn and
remove it.
F

P
ull the bulb out and change it.
To refit, carry out these operations in reverse
o r d e r.
Amber colour bulbs, such as the direction
indicators, must be replaced by bulbs with
identical colour and specifications.
To refit, close the protective cover very
carefully to guarantee the leak-tightness
of the lamp.

Changing a fuse
Access to the tools
The extraction tweezers and the locations for
spare fuses are installed behind the fusebox
cover on the dashboard.
Changing a fuse
F always replace the defective fuse with
a fuse of the same rating (same colour);
using a
different rating could cause
a
malfunction (risk of fire).
If the fault recurs after replacing a
fuse, have
the electrical system checked in the dealer
network or by a
qualified workshop.

Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To access it:
F
o
pen the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch,
F

s
ecure the bonnet stay,
F

l
ift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is located on the
front left-hand wheel arch.
Starting using another battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or a
battery booster. Never try to start the engine by connecting
a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the backup
battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and
a capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running. F

Charging the battery using
a

battery charger
For optimum ser vice life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-

i
f you use your vehicle mostly for short
journeys,
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop.
If you plan to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a
charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries of a
nominal
voltage of 12
V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
Never try to charge a frozen battery – Risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
in the dealer network or by a
qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a
risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
Disconnecting the battery
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
F

S
witch off the ignition.
F

S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers,etc.).
F

S
witch off the charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F

E
nsure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
F

C
onnect the charger B cables as follows:
-

t
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of the battery A ,
-

t
he negative (-) black cable to the earth
point C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A . If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a
12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a
long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F

c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof (for Cabrio versions)),
08
In the event of a breakdown

191
F switch off all electrical consumers (audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F

s
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
Upon accessing the battery, you only need to
disconnect the positive (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B .
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
F Position the open clamp B of the cable on
the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
F

P
ress down on the clamp to position it
correctly against the battery.
F

L
ock the clamp by lowering the lever A .Do not force the lever as locking will be
impossible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
After reconnecting the battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1
minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
If minor problems nevertheless persist
following this operation, contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop.
You must reinitialise or reset certain systems by
yourself, consulting the corresponding section,
such as:
-

t
he remote control key,
-

t
he electric windows,
-

t
he date and time,
-

t
he radio preset stations.The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a


continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8
hours).
