During use
Never release the locking system with a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle – the Gross Train

It is essential that the maximum
authorised load be complied with on
the towing device: if it is exceeded, this
device may detach from the vehicle,
which is a serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work
c o r r e c t l y.
Before setting off, check the adjustment
of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use

on a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball
must be removed and the protective plug
inserted in the carrier. This measure

Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system,
windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.

Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. Containers should
be stored in a cool area and protected from
direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never store AdBlue
® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
sur face.
In winter, check that the temperature of the
vehicle is above -11°C. If not, in freezing
weather, the AdBlue
® cannot be poured into the
tank. Park your vehicle somewhere warmer for
a few hours before topping up.
In the event of an AdBlue
® breakdown,
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5

litres.
Never pour AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel
tank. If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there
are any spillages on the side of the body,
rinse immediately with cold water or wipe
with a damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, you must wait around 5
minutes
before switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver's door, locking
the vehicle, introducing the key into
the ignition switch, or introducing
the key of the

K
eyless Entr y and
Star ting system into the passenger
compartment .

AdBlue
® is a urea-based solution. This fluid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(stored in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water
or with an eye wash solution for at least
15

minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
