Resetting the trip mileage

With “trip mileage recorder” selected on

the display, press button 2 or 3 until the

mileage recorder resets to zero.

Resetting the journey

parameters (reset button)

With one of the trip parameters selected

as the display, press and hold button 2

or 3 until the display resets.

Interpreting some of the

values displayed after

resetting

The values showing average fuel con-

sumption, range and average speed

will become more stable and reliable

the further you travel after pressing the

reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing

the reset key you will notice that the

range increases as you travel. This

range takes into account the average

fuel consumption since the last time the

reset button was pressed. Therefore,

the average fuel consumption may de-

crease when:
–

the vehicle stops accelerating;

–

the engine reaches its operating

temperature (if the engine was cold

when the reset key was pressed);

–

when driving from an urban area

onto the open road.

Automatic resetting of the

journey parameters

Resetting occurs automatically when

the maximum value of any of the pa-

rameters is exceeded.

ing on the vehicle, when the ignition is

switched on.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

(1/3)

Side lights

Turn the ring 2 until the symbol

is opposite mark 3.
An indicator light on the instrument

panel will come on.

Before driving at night, check that the electrical equipment is operating

correctly and adjust the headlight beams (if your vehicle is not carrying

Turn the ring 2 until the symbol is oppo-

site mark 3. This indicator light on the

instrument panel comes on.

Automatic operation

(depending on vehicle)
Turn ring 2 until the AUTO symbol is op-

posite mark 3: with the engine running,

the dipped beam headlights switch on

or off automatically depending on the

brightness of the light outside, without

any action on stalk 1.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

(2/3)

Switching off the lights

There are two possibilities:

– manually, move ring 2 to position 0;

– automatically, if the ring 2 is in

AUTO position and if the main beam

headlights are not switched on. The

lights will go out automatically when

the engine is switched off, the dri-

ver’s door is opened or the vehicle

is locked. In this case, the next time

the engine is started, the lights will

be switched back on according to the

position of the ring 2, taking into ac-

count the exterior light level, without

moving the stalk 1.

Lights-on reminder buzzer

A warning beep sounds when the driv-

er’s door is opened to warn you that the

lights are still on.

Front fog lights

Turn the centre ring 4 on the

stalk 1 until the symbol is opposite

mark 3, then release it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on

the exterior lighting position selected,

and an indicator light will light up on the

instrument panel.

Cornering lights function

Whenever the dipped beam headlights

are on and under certain conditions (at

speed, the steering wheel at an angle,

in forward gear, the indicator lights on,

etc.), when taking a corner one of the

front fog lights will come on to light the

inside of the bend.

Main beam headlights

With the engine running and

the dipped beam headlights on, push

stalk 1. This indicator light on the instru-

ment panel comes on.

To return to the dipped headlight posi-

tion, pull stalk 1 towards you again.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

(3/3)

Rear fog light

Turn the centre ring 4 on

the stalk until the symbol is opposite

mark 3, then release it.
Depending on the vehicle, the stalk re-

turns to the initial position or stays in

position.
Operation of the fog lights depends on

the exterior lighting selected, and an in-

dicator light will light up on the instru-

ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road

users, remember to switch off the rear

fog light when it is no longer needed.

Turning off the fog lights

There are two possibilities:

– manually, depending on the vehi-

cle, turn the ring 4 again to bring the

mark 3 opposite the symbol for the

fog light that you want to switch off,

or bring the ring 4 into position 0. The

corresponding indicator light will go

out on the instrument panel;

– the lights will go out automati-

cally when the engine is switched

off or the vehicle is locked, and the

fog lights when the driver’s door is

opened.

The front and rear fog lights switch off

when the exterior lights are switched

off.

When driving in fog or snow, or

when transporting objects which are

higher than the roof, the headlights

do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains

the responsibility of the driver: the

indicator lights on the instrument

panel inform you whether the fog

lights are lit (indicator light on) or not

(indicator light not on).

1.61

Hazard warning lights

Press switch 2.

This switch activates all four direction

indicators and the side indicator lights

simultaneously. It must only be used in

an emergency to warn drivers of other

vehicles that you have had to stop in

an area where stopping is prohibited or

unexpected, or that you are obliged to

drive under special conditions.

Depending on the vehicle, the hazard

warning lights may come on auto-

matically under heavy deceleration.

You can switch them off by pressing

switch 2 once.

Direction indicators

Move stalk 1 parallel to the steering

wheel and in the direction you are going

to turn it.

One-touch mode
When driving, it is possible that the

steering wheel may not be turned suf-

ficiently to return the stalk automatically

to its starting position.

In this case, move the stick 1 to half-

way, then release it: it will return to its

initial position and the indicator light

flashes three times.

HEADLIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT

(2/2)

Temporary adjustment

Open the bonnet (please refer to the in-

formation on the “Bonnet” in Section 4)

and slide it sideways to access the

screw 1 and marking B.
Note: Take care not to scratch the vehi-

cle paintwork.
For each headlight, using a screw-

driver, turn the screw 1 by a quarter

turn towards the - symbol to lower the

beams.
Return to the starting point once your

trip is over: turn the screw 1 by a quar-

ter turn towards the + symbol to raise

the beams.

When driving on the left in a left-hand

drive vehicle (or vice versa), you must

adjust your lights temporarily for the

duration of your trip.

For your safety, do not

remove the bonnet holding

straps. Risk of the bonnet

falling on the road surface.

1.64

With the ignition on, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.

Depending on the vehicle, the wipers

may stop for a few seconds between

wipes. It is possible to change the

time between sweeps by turning

ring 2.

– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

Special note
When driving, the wiping speed slows

down whenever the vehicle stops. For

example: the speed will change from

a fast wiping speed to normal wiping

speed.

As soon as the vehicle moves off,

wiping will return to the speed originally

selected.

Any action on stalk 1 overrides and

cancels automatic operation.
Starting the vehicle with the stalk in

position D triggers a slow continuous

sweeping movement. Adjusting the

stalk to position D is necessary to trig-

ger a rapid continuous sweeping move-

ment.

Vehicles with automatic wiper

function

With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B automatic wiper function

When this position is selected, the

system detects water on the wind-

screen and triggers the wipers at a

suitable wiping speed:

– E: minimum sensitivity

– F: maximum sensitivity

NB: in foggy weather or during

snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-

cally triggered and remains under

the driver’s control.

– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE

(1/2)

B
C

Position C is accessible with the ig-

nition on. Positions B and D are ac-

cessible only with the engine run-

ning.

Positions B, C and D are accessible

with the ignition on.

1.65

Before any action involving

the windscreen (washing

the vehicle, de-icing, clean-

ing the windscreen, etc.)

return stalk 1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.

Windscreen washer

With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 to-

wards you.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep

of the wipers, in addition to the wind-

screen washer.
A longer pull triggers, as well as the

windscreen washer, continuous sweep-

ing until the end of the request, then

three return sweeps, then after a few

seconds, a fourth.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE

(2/2)

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in position A (park).

Risk of injury.

Do not try to lift the wiper blades.

They cannot remain detached from

the windscreen. To replace the

blades, refer to Section 5: “Wiper

blades”.

Efficiency of a wiper blade

Check the condition of the wiper

blades. How long they last depends

on you:

– it must remain clean: clean the

blade and the screen regularly

with soapy water;

– do not use it when the screen is

dry;

– free it from the screen when it has

not been used for a long time.

In all cases, replace it as soon as

it begins to lose efficiency: approx-

imately once a year. Refer to the

paragraph on “Wiper blades” in

Section 5.

Precaution for using the

wipers

– In freezing or snowy weather

conditions, clear the screen

before starting the wipers (risk of

motor overheating);

– ensure that no objects are ob-

structing the travel of the blade.
