STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (1/4)  
At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it  
is recommended to use ECO mode to  
maximise the use of LPG. Please refer  
to the information on “Driving advice,  
Eco-driving” in Section 2.  
Starting the engine  
LPG versions  
The engine is always started using  
petrol:  
In very cold conditions (temperatures  
below –20°C): so that it is easier to  
start the engine, switch on the ignition  
for several seconds before starting the  
engine.  
– activate the starter without accelera-  
ting;  
To enable the system to operate  
smoothly and to prevent any wear to  
the vehicle’s electric petrol pump, the  
petrol tank should always be around  
1/4 full.  
When starting the engine, if the outdoor  
temperature is very low (below -10°C):  
hold down the clutch pedal until the  
engine starts.  
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not  
activated. Refer to the information on  
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.  
– release the key as soon as the  
engine starts.  
The system will automatically deter-  
mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.  
When operating on LPG, the fuel gauge  
may indicate a drop in the petrol level  
and the on-board computer will not op-  
erate.  
Petrol injection  
– Turn the key to the start position  
without depressing the accelera-  
tor.  
– Release the key as soon as the  
engine starts.  
Under certain winter conditions the  
system may delay or disable operation  
with LPG.  
After stopping the engine, if the envi-  
ronmental conditions are once again  
suitable, the system may once again  
permit LPG mode.  
Diesel injection

Turn the ignition key to ignition “On” po-  
sition M, and hold this position until the  
preheating warning light goes out.  
Turn the key to starter position D with-  
out depressing the accelerator  
pedal.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS  
The following operating conditions:  
If you notice any of the above operating  
faults, have the necessary repairs car-  
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-  
proved Dealer.  
– driving for long periods when the low  
fuel level warning light is lit;  
– using leaded petrol;  
These faults may be avoided by reg-  
ularly taking your vehicle to your ap-  
proved dealer at the intervals speci-  
fied in your Maintenance Service  
Document.  
– using oil or fuel additives which are  
not approved by the manufacturer.  
Or operating faults such as:  
– faulty ignition system, running out of  
fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-  
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-  
ting out when driving;  
Starting problems  
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-  
verter, do not keep trying to start the  
engine (using the start button, or by  
pushing or towing the vehicle) without  
having identified and corrected the  
starting fault.  
– loss of power,  
may cause the catalytic converter to  
overheat, reducing its efficiency which  
may irreparably damage it and cause  
heat damage to the vehicle.  
If the fault cannot be identified, do not  
continue to try and start the engine, but  
contact an approved dealer.  
Do not park the vehicle or  
run the engine in locations  
where combustible sub-  
stances or materials such  
as grass or leaves can come into  
contact with a hot exhaust system.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS  
Diesel engine speed  
Precautions to be taken in  
winter  
To avoid any faults in icy weather:  
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-  
tion pump which prevents the engine  
speed being exceeded irrespective of  
the gear selected.  
– ensure that the battery is always fully  
charged;  
– always keep the diesel tank rela-  
tively full to avoid water vapour con-  
densing in it and accumulating at the  
bottom of the tank.  
If the  
Ä
and  
Ò
warning lights  
come on, consult an approved dealer  
as soon as possible.  
When driving, depending on the fuel  
grade used, it is possible that white  
smoke may be emitted.  
This is due to the exhaust particle filter  
being cleaned automatically, and does  
not affect the way the vehicle runs.  
Running out of fuel  
If the tank has been completely  
drained, the system must be reprimed  
after the tank is refilled: see information  
on the “Fuel tank” in Section 1 before  
restarting the engine.  
Do not park the vehicle or  
run the engine in locations  
where combustible sub-  
stances or materials such  
as grass or leaves can come into  
contact with a hot exhaust system.

temporarily switch back to petrol mode  
(the green warning light D flashes wi-  
thout any beep sounding, for example,  
during strong acceleration). Once the  
suitable conditions are present once  
again, it will automatically switch back  
to LPG mode. After several unsuccess-  
ful attempts, the system may decide to  
remain in petrol mode for the current  
driving session. A further attempt may  
be made after the engine has been at a  
complete stop for 1 minute.

Operating fault  
If driving under severe  
conditions  
If driving under severe conditions (hea-  
vily laden vehicle, high outside tempe-  
rature, starting on a steep slope, etc),  
you are recommended to switch to  
petrol mode.  
LPG has a very specific  
smell so you will be able to  
detect any leaks easily. If  
you smell gas in your vehi-  
cle or immediately surrounding your  
vehicle:  
– switch to petrol mode immedia-  
tely and make sure there are no  
flames or sources of fire near the  
vehicle;  
In the event of a fault which may affect  
the correct operation of the engine, the  
system automatically switches from  
LPG to petrol mode.  
This is confirmed by:  
– the appearance of the yellow war-  
ning light B;  
– slow flashing of the green warning  
light D;  
At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it  
is recommended to use ECO mode to  
maximise the use of LPG. Please refer  
to the information on “Driving advice,  
Eco-driving” in Section 2.  
– go to an authorised dealer.  
– a beep sounds.  
In the event of an accident  
The main precautions to be taken are  
the same as with petrol vehicles:  
– apply the handbrake;  
– stop the engine (a safety device that  
stops LPG from entering the engine  
is automatically triggered);  
– switch off the ignition;  
– observe local regulations.  
Do not touch, hit or dis-  
mantle any part of the LPG  
system components.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/5)  
– Avoid sudden acceleration.  
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-  
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-  
vance, you may then simply release  
the accelerator pedal.  
– Do not try to maintain the same  
speed up a hill, accelerate no more  
than you would on the level. Keep  
your foot in the same position on the  
accelerator pedal.  
– Double declutching and accelerating  
before switching off are unnecessary  
in modern vehicles.  
On versions with an automatic gear-  
box, it is preferable to keep the gear  
lever in position D.  
Driving advice, Eco-driving  
Behaviour  
– Drive carefully for the first few miles  
until the engine reaches its normal  
operating temperature, rather than  
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-  
tionary.  
– Speed is expensive.  
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive  
with a light right foot.  
Driving problems  
On the driver’s side, only  
use mats specially adapted  
for the vehicle and attached  
to prefitted devices. Check regularly  
to make sure they are secure. Do  
not overlay several mats.  
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-  
termediate gears.  
Vehicles with 4x4 (4WD) trans-  
mission  
On flat, level ground, with the vehi-  
cle unladen, you are recommended  
to start in second gear.  
You should always use the highest  
gear possible.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/5)  
In vehicles fitted with air condi-  
tioning, it is normal to observe an  
increase in fuel consumption (es-  
pecially in urban conditions) when  
it is used. For vehicles fitted with  
manual air conditioning, switch off  
the system when it is not required.  
Advice for reducing consumption  
and therefore helping to preserve  
the environment:  
If the vehicle has been parked in the  
sun, open the doors for a few mo-  
ments to let the hot air escape before  
starting the engine.  
– Do not leave an empty roof rack  
fitted to the vehicle.  
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-  
jects.  
Advice on use  
– Favour ECO mode.  
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the  
electrical components which are  
not really needed. However (safety  
first), keep your lights on when the  
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).  
– Use the air vents. Driving with the  
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)  
will increase fuel consumption by  
4%.  
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind  
deflector and adjust it carefully.  
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door  
calls (short journeys with long waits  
in between) because the engine  
never reaches its normal operating  
temperature.  
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the  
brim to avoid overflow.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE  
Your vehicle complies with criteria for  
recycling and recovering vehicles at the  
end of their service life, which will come  
into force in 2015.  
Maintenance  
Exhaust gas monitoring  
system  
The exhaust gas monitoring system will  
detect any operating faults in the vehi-  
cle’s antipollution system.  
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-  
stances may be released into the at-  
mosphere or damage may occur.  
It is important to remember that fail-  
ure to respect anti-pollution regulations  
could lead to legal action being taken  
against the vehicle owner.  
Some of the parts on your vehicle have  
been designed to be recycled later.  
In addition, replacing engine, fuel  
supply system and exhaust compo-  
nents with parts other than those origi-  
nally recommended by the manufac-  
turer may alter your vehicle so that it  
no longer complies with anti-pollution  
regulations.  
These parts are easily removable in  
order to be collected and reprocessed  
in recycling networks.  
This warning light on the in-  
strument panel will indicate if  
there are any faults in the system:  
This lights up when the ignition is  
switched on and goes out when the  
engine is started.  
Ä
Furthermore, by virtue of its design,  
moderate fuel consumption and initial  
settings, your vehicle also conforms  
to current anti-pollution regulations.  
The manufacturer is actively striving  
to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emis-  
sions and to save energy. However,  
the fuel consumption of your vehicle  
and the level of pollutant exhaust gas  
emissions are also your responsibility.  
Ensure that it is maintained and used  
correctly.  
Have your vehicle adjusted and  
checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-  
cordance with the instructions given in  
your maintenance schedule: they will  
have all the equipment necessary for  
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained  
to its original standard.  
– If it lights up continuously, consult an  
approved Dealer as soon as possi-  
ble;  
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed  
until the light stops flashing. Contact  
an authorised dealer as soon as pos-  
sible.  
Engine adjustments  
Air filter, fuel filter: a choked ele-  
ment will reduce efficiency. It must  
be replaced.  
Idle speed: no adjustment is needed.

ENVIRONMENT  
Your vehicle has been designed with  
respect for the environment in mind for  
its entire service life: during production,  
use and at the end of its life.  
This commitment is illustrated by the of  
the manufacturer eco² signature.  
– At the end of the vehicle’s service  
life, it should be sent to approved  
centres to ensure that it is recycled.  
Emissions  
Your vehicle has been designed to  
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)  
while in use, and therefore to consume  
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to  
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).  
– In all cases, comply with local legis-  
lation.  
Our vehicles are also equipped with a  
particle filter system including a cata-  
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and  
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-  
vents vapour from the fuel tank being  
released into the open air).  
Recycling  
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and  
95% recoverable.  
Manufacture  
Your vehicle has been manufactured at  
a factory which complies with a policy  
to reduce the environmental impact  
on the surrounding areas (reduction of  
water and energy consumption, visual  
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-  
sions and waste water; sorting and re-  
using waste).  
To achieve these objectives, many of  
the vehicle components have been de-  
signed to enable them to be recycled.  
The materials and structures have  
been carefully designed to allow these  
components to be easily removed and  
reprocessed by specialist companies.  
For certain diesel vehicles, this system  
also has a particle filter to reduce the  
volume of soot particles emitted.  
Please make your own  
contribution towards  
protecting the environment  
too  
– Worn parts replaced in the course of  
routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-  
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-  
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or  
filled with used oil) must be disposed  
of through specialist organisations.  
In order to preserve raw material re-  
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-  
merous parts made from recycled plas-  
tics or renewable materials (vegetable  
or animal-derived materials such as  
cotton or wool).

Operating principle  
“4WD Lock” mode distributes the  
engine torque between the front and  
rear axles in order to optimise the per-  
formance capacity of the vehicle in off-  
road situations. This mode should only  
be used in extreme driving conditions  
(mud, steep slopes, sand).  
To deactivate this mode, turn selector 1  
to the “4WD Lock” position again. The  
indicator light on the instrument panel  
goes out. When the engine is switched  
off, the system stays in “4WD Lock”  
mode for one minute.  
4-wheel drive transmission  
– if the wheels still spin, the system au-  
tomatically switches to “2WD” mode  
to protect the mechanical compo-  
nents.  
The vehicle may make more noise when  
the “AUTO" or "4WD Lock" modes are  
activated. This is normal. If the system  
detects a difference in the dimensions  
of the front and rear wheels (eg. un-  
derinflation, severe wear on an axle),  
the system automatically switches to  
"2WD" mode.

Drive as soon as possible at a mode-

In this case, only individual wheel bra-  
king remains active. This function ap-  
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-  
ping, allowing the engine torque to be  
transferred to the wheels with the most  
grip. This is particularly useful when  
crossing a bridge.  
For certain operating faults, the system  
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or  
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re-  
mains active.  
Anti-lock braking in “LOCK” mode  
(vehicles equipped with ABS)  
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the  
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this  
case, the wheels may lock intermit-  
tently to achieve better grip, thus redu-  
cing braking distances on soft ground.  
When this mode is active:  
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is limi-  
ted during braking. This operating  
mode is therefore not recommended  
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).  
– there may be some noise. This is  
normal, and does not indicate an  
operating fault.  
Contact an approved dealer as soon as  
possible.  
All the ESC functions will be reactivated  
when the vehicle speed reaches ap-  
proximately 30 mph (50 km/h) (36 mph  
(60 km/h) in 4WD Lock mode), when  
the engine is restarted or when the  
“ESC” button is pressed again.

Depending on the vehicle, this is com-  
posed of:  
– the ABS (anti-lock braking  
system);  
– the emergency brake assist;  
– electronic stability control (ESC)  
with understeer control and trac-  
tion control.  
Special feature of 4-wheel drive vehi-  
cles  
ABS (anti-lock braking  
system)  
In 4WD Lock mode, the system may  
lock the wheels briefly to optimise the  
braking distance on very wet ground  
(snow, mud, sand, etc.).  
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents  
the wheels from locking, allowing the  
stopping distance to be managed and  
keeping control of the vehicle. Under  
these circumstances, the vehicle can  
be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst  
braking. In addition, this system can  
increase stopping distances, particu-  
larly on roads with low surface grip (wet  
ground etc.).  
– hill start assistance.  
You will feel a pulsation through the  
brake pedal each time the system is  
activated. The ABS does not in any way  
improve the vehicle's physical perfor-  
mance relating to the road surface and  
roadholding. It is still essential to follow  
the rules of good driving practice (such  
as driving at a safe distance from the  
vehicle in front etc.).  
These functions are an ad-  
ditional aid in the event of  
critical driving conditions,  
enabling the vehicle beha-  
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-  
ving conditions.  
However, the functions do not take  
the place of the driver. They do  
not increase the vehicle’s limits  
and should not encourage you  
to drive more quickly. Therefore,  
they can under no circumstances  
replace the vigilance or responsibi-  
lity of the driver when manoeuvring  
the vehicle (the driver must always  
be ready for sudden incidents which  
may occur when driving).  
In an emergency, apply firm and  
continuous pressure to the brake  
pedal. There is no need to pump  
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-  
late the force applied in the braking  
system.

Operating principle  
Hill start assistance  
A sensor in the steering wheel detects  
the direction selected by the driver.  
This function assists the driver when  
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle  
from rolling forwards or backwards by  
automatically applying the brakes when  
the driver lifts their foot off the brake  
pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.  
The hill start assistance

prevent the vehicle from  
rolling backwards in all sit-  
uations (extremely steep gradients,

be released manually.  
An impact to the under-  
side of the vehicle while  
manoeuvring (e.g.: stri-  
king a post, raised kerb or  
other street furniture) may result in  
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-  
mation of an axle).  
Contact an authorised dealer as soon  
as possible.  
To do this, unclip the base of the lever,  
simultaneously press recess 7 and the  
unlocking button 2.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)  
Operating principle  
Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehi-  
cle’s rear bumper, measure the dis-  
tance between the vehicle and an ob-  
stacle when reversing.  
This measurement is indicated by  
beeps which become more frequent the  
closer you come to the obstacle, until  
they become a continuous beep when  
the vehicle is approximately 40 centi-  
metres from the obstacle.  
This function is an addi-  
tional aid that indicates the  
distance between the vehi-  
cle and an obstacle whilst  
reversing, using sound signals.  
There is a beep when reverse gear is  
engaged. If the beep sounds for a long  
time (3 seconds), this signals an oper-  
ating fault.  
Under no circumstances should it  
replace the driver’s care or respon-  
sibility whilst reversing.  
NB: ensure that the ultrasonic sensors  
are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow,  
etc.).  
The driver should always look out  
for sudden hazards during driving:  
always ensure that there are no  
moving obstacles (such as a child,  
animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small,  
narrow objects such as stones or  
posts in your path when manoeu-  
vring.  
An impact to the under-  
side of the vehicle while  
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-  
ing a post, raised kerb or  
other street furniture) may result in  
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-  
mation of an axle).  
To avoid any risk of accident, have  
your vehicle checked by an ap-  
proved dealer.

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)

2
Note: make sure that the reversing  
camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,  
snow, etc.).  
Operation  
When using reverse gear, the camera 1  
located near the tailgate sends a view  
of the area behind the vehicle to the  
multimedia display 2 together with a  
static guide line.  
This system is used with the aid of a  
fixed distance gauge. When the red  
zone is reached, use the bumper image  
to stop accurately.  
This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circum-  
stances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.  
The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents during driv-  
ing: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child,  
animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in  
your path when manoeuvring.
