RUNNING IN

Petrol version

For the first 620 miles (1,000 km) do

not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in the

highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.

You can only expect top performance

from your vehicle after approximately

1,860 miles (3,000 km).

Service intervals: refer to the

vehicle's maintenance document.

Diesel version

For the first 930 miles (1,500 km), do

not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h in the

highest gear, or 2,500 rpm. After com-

pleting this mileage you may drive

faster, although you may only expect

top performance after approximately

3,600 miles (6,000 km).

During the running in period, do not

accelerate hard while the engine is still

cold and do not let the engine over-rev.

Service intervals: refer to your

vehicle's maintenance document.

Note: for a new vehicle in the running

in phase, the coolant level may exceed

the "MAXI" mark on the tank, then

drop to between the "MINI" level and

the "MAXI" level.

This does not present a risk.

it is advisable to switch to manual

mode using the paddles. This will pre-

vent the "automatic gearbox" from

changing gears repeatedly when dri-

on long descents.

Note: depending on the vehicle, the

return to automatic mode is carried out

by pressing and holding the right-hand

paddle or by moving the one-touch

lever 1 one or two notches backwards.

Depending on the vehicle, paddles 4

and 5 can be used to change gear

when the selector lever 1 is in D posi-

tion.

5: change to a higher gear.

In all situations:

– to shift down through the gears,

press the left-hand paddle;

ENVIRONMENT

For certain diesel vehicles, this system

also has a particle filter to reduce the

volume of soot particles emitted.

– Worn electrical and electronic

components that are replaced (such as

batteries) must not be thrown away as

rubbish. Take them to an approved

Dealer or consult your local authority

for information on appropriate recy-

cling facilities.

– To optimise the recycling of your ve-

hicle at the end of its life, you can con-

tact an authorised dealer or visit the

manufacturer's website to be directed

to collection points that guarantee re-

spect for the environment complying

with local laws.

Your vehicle has been designed with

respect for the environment in mind

for its entire service life: during its pro-

duction, usage and at the end of its

service life.

Please make your own contri-

bution towards protecting the

environment too.

Manufacture

– Parts and vehicles at the end of their

life must not be thrown away. They

must be handed to a legal entity that

complies with environmental stan-

dards.

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

reusing waste).

Recycling

Your vehicle is at least 85% recyclable

and at least 95% recoverable.

Emissions

Your vehicle has been designed to

emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)

while in use, and therefore to consume

less fuel (e.g. 160.9 g/mile (100 g/km),

equivalent to 67.25 mpg (4.2 l/100 km)

for a petrol vehicle or 225.3 g/mile

(140 g/km), equivalent to 53.29 mpg

(5.3 l/100 km) for a Diesel vehicle).

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 special-

ist companies;

– promote a circular economy (re-use,

recycling, recovery, etc.)

Our vehicles are also equipped with an

emission control system including a

catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor

and an active carbon filter (the latter

prevents vapour from the fuel tank be-

ing released into the open air), etc.

– Worn parts and components that are

replaced during routine vehicle mainte-

nance, such as tyres or oil (tanks emp-

tied or filled) must be disposed of at

dedicated collection points.

This is particularly true for electrified

vehicle batteries.

In order to preserve raw material re-

sources, your vehicle also includes

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING

Advice for reducing consumption

and helping to preserve the environ-

ment:

4x2 (2WD) versions

The vehicle must not be

used in off-road mode.

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.

3

– Do not leave an empty roof rack fit-

ted to the vehicle.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-

jects.

– When towing a caravan, fit a wind

deflector and adjust it carefully.

– Avoid using the vehicle for "door-to-

door" calls (short journeys with long

waits in between) because in such

conditions the engine never reaches

its optimal operating temperature.

Advice on use

– Favour the ECO mode.

– Electricity is fuel – switch off all the

electrical components when they are

not genuinely needed. However (safe-

ty first), keep your lights on when the

visibility is bad ("see and be seen").

– Use the air vents. Driving with the

windows open at 62 mph (100 km/h)

will increase fuel consumption by 4%.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the

brim to avoid overflow.

Tyres

– An underinflated tyre increases fuel

consumption.

– To optimise fuel consumption, set

the highest speed tyre pressure or the

recommended pressure indicated on

the edge of the driver's door ꢀ 327.

– The use of non-recommended tyres

Operating principle

When fitted to the vehicle, this system

notifies the driver if one or more tyres

lose pressure.

This system detects a loss of pressure

in one of the tyres by measuring the

wheel speed while driving.

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid.

tioning correctly:

Procedure for resetting the standard

levels for the tyre pressures

– system not reset after reinflation or

any operation on the wheels;

– incorrectly reset system: tyre pres-

sures different from the recommended

pressures;

This should be performed:

– after each re-inflation or resetting of

tyre pressure;

– after changing a wheel;

– after swapping a wheel (however,

this practice is not recommended);

Vehicle not fitted with a multimedia

The tyre pressure must be

checked before starting the

resetting procedure.

Ignition on, vehicle stopped:

Tyre pressures must correspond to the

current usage of the vehicle (empty,

carrying a load, motorway driving,

etc.). Respect the tyre pressures (in-

cluding the emergency spare wheel).

Check them at least once a month and

before a long journey (refer to the label

on the edge of the driver’s door

ꢀ 327).

The system will not issue a warn-

ing if the pressure does not corre-

spond to the recommended pres-

sure.

– press and hold the 6 "OK" switch to

launch the reset.

ADDITIONAL DRIVING AID FUNCTIONS

Warnings

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due

care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

The triggering of this function may be delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of the

vehicle by the driver (action on the steering wheel, pedals etc.).

3

The system cannot be activated when:

– the electronic stability control (ESC) has been triggered.

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, the camera alignment may be changed, and its operation may consequently be affected. Deac-

tivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried

out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

Driving - 223

ADDITIONAL DRIVING AID FUNCTIONS

System disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:

– poor weather conditions (snow, rain, hail, black ice etc.) ;

– poor visibility (night, fog etc.) ;

– poor contrast between the object (vehicle, pedestrian etc.) and the surrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white lo-

cated in a snowy area etc.) ;

3

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.) ;

– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.) ;

– ...

In these conditions, the system may not react, may warn the driver or may brake inadvertently.

Limitation of the system operation

– Each time the vehicle is started, the system carries out a calibration according to the vehicle surroundings and may be in-

active for a length of time between approximately two to five minutes of driving;

– an oncoming vehicle will not trigger any warning or system action if the conditions detailed in the paragraph on "Special

features of oncoming vehicles when changing direction" are not met;

– The camera should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the system;

– the system may not respond to small vehicles as effectively as to other vehicles;

– the system may not operate properly when the road surface is slippery (rain, snow, black ice, etc.). ;

– to ensure correct operation, the system needs to distinguish the entire obstacle. So the system cannot detect:

– pedestrians/cyclists in the darkness or in poor lighting conditions;

– partially visible pedestrians/cyclists;

– pedestrians less than approximately 80 cm;

– pedestrians carrying large objects;

– ...

In these conditions, the system may not react, may warn the driver or may brake inadvertently.

224 - Driving

ADDITIONAL DRIVING AID FUNCTIONS

Deactivating the function

You must deactivate the function if:

– the camera area has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);

– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out windscreen repairs in this area; have it changed by an approved

dealer);

3

– you are not driving on a paved road.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and contact an authorised dealer.

Halting the function

You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a

collision avoidance manoeuvre.

Operation

Driver vigilance warning

The driver vigilance warning is a func-

tion that analyses the behaviour of the

driver (driving style, vehicle steering,

etc.) and alerts them if there is a risk of

falling asleep.

The driver vigilance warn-

ing constantly monitors the

driver's attention and can

provide several warnings per jour-

ney.

It takes into account indicators such

as:

– steering wheel movements;

– driver actions on other systems (indi-

cators, brake pedal, etc.).

The system resets every time the

engine is started.

Warning activation/deactivation

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid in case

of risk of fatigue. The

Warning

This function is an additional driving aid. It can under no circumstances replace the driver's responsibility to re-

spect speed limits and safe distances or to be vigilant.

The driver must always be in control of the vehicle.

3

The driver must always adapt their speed to the surroundings and driving conditions, regardless of system indica-

tions. Except for lines delimiting lanes, traffic indicators (traffic lights, signs, pedestrian crossings etc.) are not recognised

by the system. These do not trigger any alert or reaction by the system.

The system should under no circumstances be taken to be an obstacle detector or an anti-collision system.

The adaptive cruise control must only be used on a motorway (or multi-lane road separated by a barrier).

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, the camera alignment may be changed and its operation may consequently be affected. Deac-

tivate the system and consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be carried

out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

Deactivating the function

You must deactivate the function if:

– the vehicle is travelling on a winding road;

– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

– the vehicle is towing a trailer or a caravan;

– the vehicle arrives at a toll point, a roadwork area or on a narrow lane;

– the vehicle is being driven up or down a very steep slope;

– the visibility is poor (glaring sun, fog, etc.);

– the vehicle is being driven on a slippery road surface (rain, snow, gravel, etc.);

– the weather conditions are poor (rain, snow, side winds, etc.);

– the camera area has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);

– the windscreen is cracked or distorted.

250 - Driving

STOP AND GO ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and contact an authorised dealer.

In the event of system disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the system's operation, such as:

3

– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, etc.);

– poor weather conditions (snow, heavy rain, hail, black ice, etc.);

– poor visibility (night, fog, etc.);

– poor contrast between the vehicle preceding it and the surrounding area (e.g. white vehicle in a snowy area, etc.);

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction; etc.);

– narrow, winding or undulating road (tight bends, etc.);

– a slower vehicle with a significant difference in speed;

– use of mats not adapted to the vehicle. On the driver's side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-

fitted components, and check the fitting regularly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the

pedals.

In these cases, the system may wrongly intervene.

Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

Many unforeseen situations may affect the system operation. Certain objects or vehicles that appear in the camera detec-

tion zone may be interpreted by the system incorrectly, possibly leading to inappropriate acceleration or braking.

You should always be attentive to sudden events that might occur while you are driving. Always keep your vehicle

under control by keeping your feet near the pedals, so that you are ready to act in any event.

Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by ar-

rows 1, are fitted in the bumpers to de-

tect obstacles near the vehicle.

The function alerts the driver via audi-

ble signals and a display representing

the area where the obstacle was de-

tected.

Depending on the equipment, the sys-

The system is able to detect most ob-

stacles located near the rear and, de-

pending on the equipment, near the

front and sides of the vehicle.

The screen 2 shows the vehicle sur-

Fixed guide lines 3

The fixed gauge includes coloured

markers A , B and C indicating the

distance behind the vehicle:

– A (red) at approximately 30 cen-

timetres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) at approximately 70 cen-

timetres from the vehicle;

– C (green) at approximately 150

centimetres from the vehicle.

When reverse gear is engaged, the

camera 1 located at the rear of the ve-

hicle transmits a view of the area be-

hind the vehicle to the multimedia dis-

play 2 accompanied by three guide

lines 3 , 4 or 5 (fixed, moving and trail-

For example, if the screen displays an

object at G , the actual distance of the

object is at F.

For example, if the screen displays an

object at D , the actual distance of the

EMERGENCY CALL

If the vehicle is equipped, the emer-

gency call function can be used to call

the emergency services (without

charge) automatically or manually in

the event of an accident or illness, re-

ducing the time it takes for the emer-

gency services to arrive.

Note: emergency calling is available:

– in countries covered by the associat-

ed telematics emergency services and

infrastructure compatible with the sys-

tem;

– depending on the network coverage

in the geographical region where the

vehicle is being driven.

A call always takes place as follows:

If you use the emergency call function

to report an accident which you have

witnessed, this implies stopping where

traffic conditions allow to allow the

emergency services to locate your ve-

hicle and therefore the location of the

reported accident.

– the call is initiated with the emer-

gency services;

– data related to the incident

(manufacturer's plate, time of the call,

last locations, vehicle direction, etc.) is

sent;

– voice communication takes place

with the emergency services;

– if necessary, emergency assistance

is called.
