Practical information07
Do not switch off the engine until the filter
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is
stationary is not recommended.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no impact
on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine
servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a dealer or a qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the corresponding
section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving,
particularly in the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are
worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in
wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,
including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10
kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add 0.3 bar
(30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely and
have an adverse effect on the vehicle's road
holding - risk of accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the tyres
(tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as the
presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be identified
by this symbol on their sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,

Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign body (e.g. nail,
screw) which has penetrated the tyre.
►  Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic
and apply the parking brake.
►  Follow the safety instructions (hazard warning
lamps, warning triangle, high visibility jacket,
etc.) according to the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
►  Switch the ignition off.


► Remove the transparent cap from the bottle
of sealant.
►  Lift the protective cover before installing the
bottle of sealant on the compressor.
►  Turn the bottle of sealant over and screw it a
quarter turn into the compressor.
►  Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean place.


►  Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►  Connect the pipe from the compressor to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired and tighten firmly.
►  Check that the compressor switch is in
position "O".
►  Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor.
►  Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12 V socket.
►  Affix the speed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker must be affixed
inside the vehicle in the area close to the
driver, to remind them that a wheel is in
temporary use.
►  Switch the ignition on.


► Switch on the compressor by moving the
switch to position "I" until the tyre pressure
reaches 2 bar. The sealant product is injected
under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk
of blowback).
If after approximately 7 minutes, the
pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.

174In the event of a breakdown08
► Move the switch to position "O".
►  Disconnect the compressor's electric plug
from the vehicle's 12 V socket.
►  Remove the kit.
►  Refit the cap on the valve.
►  Remove and store the bottle of sealant.
The sealant product is harmful if
swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle into
the environment; take it to a dealer or an
authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a dealer or a qualified
workshop.


►  Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles
(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between 12 and
37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)) to plug the puncture.
►  Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure
using the kit:
• If the tyre pre ssure is incorrect, contact a
dealer to have the tyre changed.
•

If the tyre pre
ssure is correct, drive a second
time for approximately 3 miles (5 kilometres)
at reduced speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20
and 60 km/h)), stop then check again the tyre
pressure using the kit to confirm the effective
repair of the tyre.
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit,
do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) and do not drive more than
125 miles (200 km).
You must contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the repair checked and the
tyre changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the
tyre pressures.
►  Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep it
in a clean place.
►  Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►  Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly.
►  Check that the compressor switch is in
position "O".
►  Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor.
►  Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12 V socket.
►  Switch the ignition on.
►  Start the compressor by placing the switch
at position "I" and adjust the pressure to the
value shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label.
To deflate: press the black button located on the
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is
not reached, the tyre is damaged; contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
►  Once the correct pressure is reached, put the
switch in position "O".
►  Remove the kit and stow it.
►  Refit the cap on the valve.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.

In the event of a breakdown08
Do not exceed the maximum authorised speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h) or the maximum distance
of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one "space-saver" type
spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's
bolts and its tyre pressure checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam of
LED technology lamps - risk of serious eye
injury!


The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasiv
e
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent products.
–

U

se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–

When using a high-pre
ssure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet (UV)
type bulbs, so as not to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.
After changing a bulb
To refit, carry out the operations in
reverse order to removal.
Close the protective cover very carefully to
guarantee the sealing of the lamps.

Vehicle data recording and privacy11
Vehicle data recording and
privacy
Electronic control units are installed in your
vehicle. These control units process data received
from the vehicle's sensors, for example, or data
they generate themselves or exchange with
each other. Some of these control units are
required for the correct operation of your vehicle,
some others assist you while driving (driving or
manoeuvring aids), while others provide comfort
or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about
how data is processed within the vehicle.
You will find additional information about the
specific data which is downloaded, stored
and transmitted to third parties and what it
is used for in your vehicle under the keyword
"Data protection". This information is directly
associated with the references for the functions
in question contained in the corresponding
vehicle handbook, or in the general terms and
conditions of sale.
This information is also available online.
Vehicle operating data
The control units process the data used for the
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, for example:
–
In
formation about the state of the vehicle
(e.g. speed, travel time, lateral acceleration,
wheel rotation rate, fastened seat belts display). –

En
vironmental conditions (e.g. temperature,
rain sensor, distance sensor).
As a general rule, this data is temporary, is
not stored for longer than one operating cycle
and is only used within the vehicle itself. The
control units often record this data (including
the vehicle's key). This function allows either the
temporary or permanent storage of information
about the state of the vehicle, stresses on
components, servicing requirements, as well as
events and technical errors.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the
data stored is as follows:
–
O
perating state of system components
(e.g. filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge
status).
–
Faults and malfunctions in import
ant system
components (e.g. lamps, brakes).
–
Sy
stem reactions in specific driving situations
(e.g. deployment of an airbag, triggering of
stability control and braking systems).
–
In
formation about events which have damaged
the vehicle.
–
For electric and rechargeable h
ybrid vehicles,
the traction battery charge level and the
estimated driving range.
In particular circumstances (e.g. if the vehicle has
detected a malfunction), it may be necessary to
record data which would otherwise simply not be
stored.
When taking your vehicle in for servicing
(e.g. repairs, maintenance), the stored operating
data may be read along with the vehicle's identification number and used if necessary.
The personnel working for the servicing network
(e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties
(e.g. roadside assistance agents) may read the
vehicle's data. This also applies to work carried
out under warranty and quality assurance
measures.
This data is generally read via the OBD (On-Board
Diagnostics) port fitted by law to the vehicle. It
is used to report on the technical state of the
vehicle or its components and facilitates the
diagnosis of malfunctions, in compliance with
warranty obligations and for quality improvement.
This data, in particular the information relating
to stress on components, technical events,
operator errors and other malfunctions, is
sent to the Manufacturer, if necessary, along
with the vehicle's identification number. The
Manufacturer's liability may also be engaged. The
Manufacturer may also use the operating data
taken from the vehicle for product recalls. This
data may also be used to check the customer's
warranty and any claims made under warranty.
Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be
reset by an after-sales service company during
servicing or repair work, or at your request. Comfort and infotainment
functions
Comfort settings and personalised settings
may be saved in the vehicle and modified or
reinitialised at any time.
