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.
