The indicator lamp in the remote control
flashes for about 2 seconds if the vehicle
has not received the signal.
You should then move to a different
location and repeat the command.
Changing the battery
If the indicator lamp in the remote control becomes
orange, the state of charge of the battery is low.
If the indicator lamp is not on, the battery is
discharged.
F Use a coin to unscrew the cap and replace the battery.
The maximum heating period is about
45
minutes depending on the climatic
conditions. The additional heating system is powered
by the fuel in the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough
fuel in the tank.
If the tank level is on reser ve, the system
cannot be used.
The ventilation is activated provided that
the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
-
t
he battery is sufficiently charged,
-
t
he fuel level is adequate,
-
t
he engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle. To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.) – risk of fire!
Do not throw remote control batteries
away as they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment. Take them
to an approved collection point.
Always switch off the additional heating
while refuelling – risk of fire or explosion! Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these sur faces;
never touch these sur faces – risk of burns!

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,

the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least
approximately 620
miles (1,000
kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system is used.
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1 to 2
minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.

ress the "START/STOP "
button. The warning lamp does not come on if the
engine is already hot. In some climatic
conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-
I
n temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Depending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C,
the idle engine speed can accelerate
to reach 1,300
rpm according to the air
conditioning requirements.
-
I
n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a longer
period after switching on the ignition;
wait until it goes off before starting.
-
In ver y severe wintr y
conditions
(temperature below
-23°C), to ensure the correct operation
and durability of the mechanical
components of your vehicle (engine
and gearbox), leave the engine
running for 4
minutes before moving
of f.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
With a manual gearbox, the steering column
unlocks and the engine starts more or less
instantly.
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox, the engine
starts more or less instantly. With Petrol engines
, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
For Diesel vehicles , in sub-zero
temperatures the engine will not
start until the pre-heater warning
lamp has gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on
after pressing the "START/STOP"
button, press down on the brake
or clutch pedal until the warning
lamp goes off, without pressing
the "START/STOP" button again,
until the engine starts and runs.

recognition zone is essential.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running and with the remote control on
your person.
If the remote control leaves the
recognition zone, a message is displayed.
Move the remote control into the zone in
order to be able to start the engine.
If one of the starting conditions is not met,
a message appears in the instrument
panel. In some cases, it is necessary to

heck that the parking brake is
correctly applied, particularly on
sloping ground.
Never switch off the ignition before the
vehicle is completely immobilised. When leaving the vehicle, remove the key
and lock the doors.
As a safety measure (with children on
board), never leave the vehicle without
taking your remote control with you, even
for a short period.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss of
braking assistance.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key,
which would weigh down on its blade
in the ignition switch and could cause a
malfunction.
Key left in the ignition
When opening the driver's door, an alert
message is displayed, accompanied by
an audible signal, to remind you that the
key is still in the ignition switch at position
1 (Stop)
.
If the key has been left in the ignition
switch at position 2 (Ignition on) , the
ignition will be switched off automatically
after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn the key
