Wireless smartphone charger



It allows wireless charging of a portable device
such as a smartphone, using the magnetic
induction principle, in accordance with the Qi 1.1
standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting system, the
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted when
a door is opened or the ignition is switched off.
Charging
►  With the charging area clear, place a device in
its centre.


When the portable device is detected, the
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge
multiple devices simultaneously.


Do not leave any metal objects (coins,
keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in the
charging area while a device is being charged,
due to the risk of overheating or interrupting
the charging process.
Operating check
The state of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.

Practical information07
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the
vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects which are longer than the vehicle.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to
the front wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation specific to
each country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Use only chains designed to be fitted to the type
of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
Original tyre size Chain type 215/65 R16 Cannot be fitted with chains
215/60 R17 Polaire XP9 with manual locking
215/55R18 Cannot be fitted with chains
For more information on snow chains, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
►  To fit the chains during a journey, stop the
vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.
►  Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►  Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
►  Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).
►  Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can still
use functions such as the audio and telematic
system, the wipers and the dipped beam
headlamps or courtesy lamps, for a combined
duration of approximately 40 minutes.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions immediately,
start the engine and let it run:
– For less than 10 minutes, to use the equipment
for approximately 5 minutes.
– For more than 10 minutes, to use the equipment
for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
To recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12 V battery, refer
to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain functions
according to the level of charge remaining in the
battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning
and the heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

163In the event of a breakdown08
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.


► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►  Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the (+)
terminal of the backup battery B or of the booster.
►  Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►  Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C.
►  Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
►  Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start immediately, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
►  Wait for it to return to idle.
►  Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
►  Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
the vehicle has one.
►  Allow the engine to run for at least 30 minutes,
with the vehicle stationary, so that the battery
reaches an adequate state of charge.
Drive cautiously during the first 30
minutes after starting the engine.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–

using the v
ehicle mainly for short journeys;
–

if the v
ehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself,
use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12 V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►  Switch off the ignition.
►  Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).


►  Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►  Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
►  Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►  Connect the cables of charger B as follows:
•

the po
sitive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal
of battery A,
•

the nega
tive (-) black cable to earth point C on
the vehicle.

164In the event of a breakdown08
► At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the cables
from battery A.

24v 12v
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components related
to the Stop & Start system.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by
a dealer or by a qualified workshop who will
verify that the internal components have not
been damaged and that the case has not
cracked, which would mean a risk of toxic and
corrosive acid leaking.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge
for starting the engine, it is recommended that
the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is taken
out of service for a long period. Before disconnecting the battery:
► 
Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►  Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
►  Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal

►  Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
►  Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
►  Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal

► Raise lever A fully.
►  Refit the open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
►  Push clamp B fully down.
►  Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
►  Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
Do not force the lever as locking will be
impossible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
After reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reset certain
equipment:
– Electronic key.
– Electric windows.
– Date and time.
– Preset radio stations.
After reconnection of the battery, the
“Collision risk detection system fault”
message is displayed on the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
