Practical information07
For more information, contact a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Installation tips
►  To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at 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 snow 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 you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
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.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
The use of snow chains is only authorised
on the front wheels.
The driving mode selector must be on the 4WD
position (depending on version).
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 and for a maximum
cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can
continue to use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, dipped beam headlamps or
courtesy lamps.
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 le
ss than 10 minutes, to use the equipment
for approximately 5 minutes.
–

For more than 10 minut
es, 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.
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of the engine restarting automatically.
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan

Practical information07
or in certain moving components - risk of
strangulation and serious injury!
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Before any work is carried out under the
bonnet, it is essential to switch off the ignition
and disconnect the charging connector nozzle
if it is connected, check that the READY
indicator lamp is off on the instrument panel
and wait 4 minutes - risk of serious injury!
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents the bonnet being opened
when the left-hand front door is closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch with care (risk of
burns), using the protected area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after the
engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the fan!
Opening



►  From the inside: pull the control lever, located
on the left below the dashboard, towards you.


►  From the outside: lift the safety catch and
raise the bonnet.
A bonnet strut opens the bonnet and holds it
open.
Closing
►  Lower the bonnet and release it near the end
of its travel.
►  Check the locking.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is strongly
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, etc.) be limited.

Diesel fuel system
This system is under very high pressure.
All work must be carried out only by a dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the Manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the
Manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine
having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped with
an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended that
you check the level, and top up if necessary, every
3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
