Before driving at night, check that the electrical equipment is operatin\
g
correctly and adjust the headlight beams (if your vehicle is not carryi\
ng
its normal load). As a general precaution, check that the lights are not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow or objects being transported).

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/3)
fRear fog light
Turn the centre ring 4 on
the stalk until the symbol is opposite
mark 5, then release it.
Depending on the vehicle, the stalk re-
turns to the initial position or stays in
position.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting selected, and an in-
dicator light will light up on the instru-
ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road
users, remember to switch off the rear
fog light when it is no longer needed.
Cornering lights
Whenever the dipped beam headlights
are on and under certain conditions (at
speed, the steering wheel at an angle,
in forward gear, the indicator lights on,
etc.), when taking a corner one of the
front fog lights will come on to light the
inside of the bend.
Turning off the fog lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, depending on the vehi- cle, turn the ring 4 again to bring the
mark 5 opposite the symbol for the
fog light that you want to switch off,
or bring the ring 4 into position -. The
corresponding indicator light will go
out on the instrument panel;
– the lights will go out automati- cally when the engine is switched
off or the vehicle is locked, and the
fog lights when the driver’s door is
opened.
The front and rear fog lights switch off
when the exterior lights are switched
off.

gFront fog lights
Turn the centre ring 4 on the
stalk 1 until the symbol is opposite
mark 5, then release it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting position selected,
and an indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
When driving in fog or snow, or when transporting objects which are higher than the roof, the headl\
ights do not come on au-
tomatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains the responsibility of the driver: th\
e indicator lights on the instrument panel inform you
whether the fog lights are lit (indicator light on) or not (indicator\
light not on).

éHazard warning lights
Press switch 2.
This switch activates all four direction
indicators and the side indicator lights
simultaneously. It must only be used in
an emergency to warn drivers of other
vehicles that you have had to stop in
an area where stopping is prohibited or
unexpected, or that you are obliged to
drive under special conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on auto-
matically under heavy deceleration.
You can switch them off by pressing
switch 2 once.
Direction indicators
Move stalk 1 parallel to the steering
wheel and in the direction you are going
to turn it.
One-touch mode
When driving, it is possible that the
steering wheel may not be turned suf-
ficiently to return the stalk automatically
to its starting position.
In this case, move the stick 1 to half-
way, then release it: it will return to its
initial position and the indicator light
flashes three times.

With the ignition on, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.
The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps. It is
possible to change the time be-
tween sweeps by turning ring 2.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.
Positions B, C and D are accessible
with the ignition on.
Vehicles with automatic wiper
function
With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turning
ring 2:
– E: minimum sensitivity
– F: maximum sensitivity
NB: in foggy weather or during
snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-
cally triggered and remains under
the driver’s control.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.
Position C is accessible with the ig-
nition on. Positions B and D are ac-
cessible only with the engine run-
ning.

Special note
When driving, the wiping speed slows
down whenever the vehicle stops. For
example: the speed will change from
a fast wiping speed to normal wiping
speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
Any action on stalk 1 overrides and
cancels automatic operation.
Starting the vehicle with the stalk in
position D triggers a slow continuous
sweeping movement. Adjusting the
stalk to position D is necessary to trig-
ger a rapid continuous sweeping move-
ment.

FUNCTION STOP AND START (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions. The system is acti-
vated automatically when the vehicle is
started. While driving, the system stops
the engine (standby) when the vehicle
is at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For vehicles equipped with auto-
matic gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in position D, M or N;
and
– the brake pedal is depressed (suffi-ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not de- pressed;
and
– the speed is zero for around 1 second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and
the brake pedal released. For vehicles equipped with manual
gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.
If the warning light
 flashes,
this means that the clutch pedal is
not sufficiently released;
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap- proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
In all vehicles, the warning light

on the instrument panel is lit when the
engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition by pressing
the engine stop (please see
“Starting, stopping the engine”).
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).

2.10
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency, or damage it irreparably
and cause heat damage to the vehi-
cle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
keep trying to start the engine, but con-
tact an approved Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.
