Restarting the engine (START mode)
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the
driver indicates the intention of moving off again.
►  With a manual gearbox: with the clutch pedal
fully depressed.
►  With an automatic gearbox:
•

With the select
or in position D or M: with the
brake pedal released.
•

With the select
or in position N and the brake
pedal released: with the selector at D or M.
•

With the select
or in position P and the brake
pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N, D
or M.
•

R
everse gear engaged.
Special cases
The engine restarts automatically if all the
operating conditions are met again and in the
following cases.
–
With a manual gearbo
x: vehicle speed exceeds
2.5 mph (4 km/h),
–

With an aut
omatic gearbox, in mode N, vehicle
speed exceeds 0.6 mph (1 km/h).
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes
for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments, then
remains on, accompanied by an onscreen
message.
Have the vehicle checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
►  Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the "START/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which must
be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are
adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects
a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more
tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) as well as before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high speed,
long journey):
–

w
orsens road-holding.
–

lengthens braking dist
ances.
–

c
auses premature wear of the tyres.
–

increase
s fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown
on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►  Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►  Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Practical information07
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
When the particle filter is approaching
saturation, this warning lamp comes on
temporarily, accompanied by a message warning
of the risk of filter clogging.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 37 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the exhaust while
accelerating. This has no impact on the
vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
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 case of an issue, 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 fuel
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressure causes premature wear on tyres and
has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road
holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the
condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and
wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

Practical information07
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road-holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is important
to have them regularly checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
Timing and accessory kits are used from
the time the engine is started until it is
switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, the Manufacturer
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a
system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR System
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special tank
holding about 15 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km), which may
vary considerably depending on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve level
is reached: it is then possible to drive for a further
1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is empty
and the vehicle blocked.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and the associated alerts,
or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a system
required by legislation prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard: the vehicle becomes
polluting.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a dealer or a
qualified workshop. After 680 miles (1,100 km),
a device is automatically activated to prevent
the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is stopped.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped up
as soon as the first alert is issued indicating that
the reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
–

U

se only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
–

Ne

ver transfer AdBlue
® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
–

Ne

ver dilute AdBlue
® with water.
It is possible to obtain AdBlue
® from a dealer or a
qualified workshop as well as at service stations
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially designed
for passenger vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for
at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store AdBlue
® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-
flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept
in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container.

Frequently asked
questions
The following information groups together the
answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning the system.
Radio
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the station presets are
not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed,
etc.).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
►  Activate the "RDS" function in the upper bar
to enable the system to check whether there is
a more powerful transmitter in the geographical
area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is not
indicative of an audio system malfunction.
The aerial is missing or has been damaged
(for example while entering a car wash or
underground car park).
►  Have the aerial checked by a dealer.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
received stations.
The name of the radio station changes.
The station is no longer received or its name has
changed in the list.
Some radio stations send other information in
place of their name (the title of the song for
example).
The system interprets these details as the station
name.
