With the ignition switched on, the engine not running and
the display set to “Service Intervals”, press button OK for ap-
proximately 5 seconds to display the mileage before service
(distance or time to the next service). When the distance value
approaches its limit, there are several possible scenarios:
– range less than 930 miles (1,500 km) or one month: the
message “Service due in” is displayed accompanied by the
nearest term (distance or time);
– range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the
message “Service required” is displayed accompanied by
warning light

The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.

Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies accord\
ing to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed ,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can
therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance t\
ravelled.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before a service, press and hold button 2 for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows
the range permanently.
Note: If a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mi\

event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and th\
e next oil change should be reset.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (4/6)
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the winds-
creen.
It may be useful to:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the winds-creen in winter;
– replace the blades (refer to the “Wiper blades: replacement” para-
graph in Section 5).
With the ignition on and the engine off,
lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully
(fast continuous wipe position). The
wiper arms stop in a position away from
the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make
sure they have been placed on the
windscreen, then move the stalk to po-
sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition,
place the wipers on the windscreen.
Otherwise, there may a risk of damage
to the bonnet or the wipers when they
are switched on.
In the event of obstacles on the
windscreen (dirt, snow, ice etc.),
clean the windscreen (including the
central area located behind the inte-
rior rear view mirror) before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheat-
ing).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
Before any action involving
the windscreen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen,
etc.) return stalk 1 to position B
(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
Note: after replacement, to reposition
the blades correctly, make sure the
blades are resting on the windscreen,
switch on the ignition and activate the
wiper control.

RUNNING IN
Petrol version
For the first 600 miles (1,000 km), do
not exceed 78 mph (130 km/h) in the
highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
You may only expect top performance
from your vehicle after approximately
1,800 miles (3,000 km) .
Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for your vehi-
cle.
Diesel version
For the first 1,000 miles (1,500 km),
do not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in
the highest gear, or 2,500 rpm. After
completing this mileage you may drive
faster, although you may only expect
top performance after approximately
3,600 miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do not ac-
celerate hard while the engine is still
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for your vehi-
cle.

2.8
STANDING START PROCEDURE (1/2)
Activating the system
The system is activated by:
– with the engine running, and the ve-hicle stationary;
– Sport mode activated (please see the “Multi-Sense” section);
– depress the brake pedal with the left foot;
– keeping the brake pedal pressed, pull the two steering wheel pad-
dles 1 until the message “Launch
Control ON” appears on the instru-
ment panel;
– release the paddles 1;
– with your left foot still pressing the brake pedal, press the accelerator
pedal fully to beyond the point of
resistance with your right foot (the
engine speed will automatically sta-
bilise at around 2500 rpm);
– within 3 seconds, release the brake pedal for a sporty vehicle start.
If fitted on the vehicle, with the vehicle
stationary, the standing start procedure
(Launch Control) is a function which
permits maximum acceleration.
Note: This function should only be used
when the mechanical components have
reached their operating temperature.
1
Do not use this function on
slippery or wet roads.
Risk of loss of control of
the vehicle.
Because of the accelera-
tion gained, this function
should only be used if traf-
fic conditions permit, and
in compliance with the local driving
regulations. Please ensure all the
conditions are met before each use.
Risk of accident or serious injury.
Heavy use of the system will reduce
the service life of the mechanical
components (clutch, transmission,
etc.).
