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.
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!
Do not throw remote control batteries
away as they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment. Take them
to an approved collection point.
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!

(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

corresponding section.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aids are
automatically disabled if an approved
towbar is used.
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine is allowed
to idle for 1 to 2
minutes after the vehicle

conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-
I
n mild 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
up to 1,300
rpm depending on 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 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!
F
P
lace the remote control inside the vehicle,

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,
pre-heating 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.
The presence of the "Keyless Entry and
