Limit the causes of excess
consumption
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a member
of the dealer network or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.

Warning/indicator lampStateCause Action/Observations
Power steering Fixed. The power steering has a
fault. Drive carefully at reduced speed.Have it checked in the dealer network or by
a


qualified workshop.
Under-inflation Fixed, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a
message.One or more wheels has insufficient
pressure.
Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
You must reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or more
wheels.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection
, refer to the corresponding section.
+ Flashing then fixed,
accompanied by
the Ser vice warning
lamp.The system is faulty: tyre pressures
are no longer monitored.
As soon as possible, check the pressure of the tyres.
Have the system checked by a
dealer or by a qualified
workshop.

closer than they appear.
Take this into account when assessing
the distance of vehicles approaching from
behind.
As a
safety measure, the mirrors should
be adjusted to reduce the blind spots.

a
dealer check and, if desired, modify
the configuration of these ser vices to suit
your wishes. In a
multi-lingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice.
For technical reasons and in particular to
improve the quality of telematic ser vices to
customers, the manufacturer reserves the
right to carry out updates to the vehicle's
on-board telematic system.Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC) comprising
the following systems:
-

a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
