Customising the instrument
panel
Depending on version, the appearance of the
instrument panel may be customisable (colour
and display mode).
Display language and units
When travelling abroad, the speed must
be shown in the official units of the country
you are driving in (mph, miles or km/h, km).
As a safety measure, these adjustments
must be carried out with the vehicle
stationary.
Choosing a display colour
The display colour can be selected in the setting
of a profile in the Settings touch screen menu.
Depending on version, the possible choices are:
–
"Champagne" (white and champagne),
–
"Performance Line" (gold and carmine).
If the vehicle is so equipped, selecting the "Sport"
mode automatically changes the display colour of
the instrument panel (red theme).

Head-up display
System which projects various information onto a
blade in the driver's field of vision so that they do
not have to take their eyes off the road.
Information displayed during
operation


Once the system has been activated, the
following information is grouped together in the
head-up display:
A. The speed of your vehicle.
B. Cruise control/speed limiter information and,
if the vehicle is so equipped, the Road signs
recognition function.

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
