DRIVING ADVICE, ECO DRIVING (1/4)

Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-

cordance with a standard regulatory

method. Identical for all manufactur-

ers, this enables vehicles to be com-

pared with one another. Consumption

in real time depends on vehicle usage

conditions, the equipment fitted and the

user’s driving style. To optimise fuel

consumption, please refer to the follow-

ing advice.

Depending on the vehicle, you will have

various functions which enable you to

lower your fuel consumption:

– the rev counter;

– gear change indicator;

If you regularly follow this indicator, you

will reduce your vehicle’s fuel consump-

tion.

To do this, press the accelerator pedal

firmly and fully.

ECO mode is reactivated when you

take pressure off the accelerator pedal.

2.28

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO DRIVING (3/4)

– Do not overrev the engine in the in-

termediate gears.

You should always use the highest

gear possible.

– 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.

Driving advice, ECO driving

– Bad weather, flooded roads:

Behaviour

Do not drive through

floods if the water is

above the lower edge of

the wheel rims.

– 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.

Obstructions to the driver

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.

– Speed is expensive.

– Dynamic driving with a lot of frequent

acceleration and braking is expen-

sive on fuel in comparison to the time

saved.

There is a risk of wedging the

pedals.

2.29

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO DRIVING (4/4)

– In vehicles fitted with air condi-

tioning, it is normal to observe an

increase in fuel consumption (espe-

cially 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.

– 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.

Tyres

Advice on use

– An underinflated tyre increases fuel

consumption.

– Favour the 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%.

– To optimise fuel consumption, set the

highest speed tyre pressure or the

recommended pressure indicated on

the edge of the driver’s door. ➥ 4.11.

– The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

– 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 entered

into force in 2015.

In addition, replacing engine, fuel

– Ignition and idle speed: no adjust-

ment is needed.

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.

Some parts of your vehicle have there-

fore been designed to facilitate future

recycling.

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.

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.

These parts are easy to remove so

that they can be recovered and repro-

cessed by recycling companies.

By virtue of its design, moderate fuel

consumption and initial settings, your

vehicle also conforms to current an-

tipollution regulations. The manufac-

turer is actively striving to reduce pol-

lutant exhaust gas emissions and to

save energy. But the fuel consumption

of your vehicle and the level of pollutant

exhaust gas emissions are also your

responsibility. Ensure that it is main-

tained and used correctly.

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.

Engine adjustments

Ä

– Spark plugs: for optimum condi-

tions of use, output and performance

the specifications laid down by our

Design Department must be strictly

applied.

If the spark plugs have to be changed,

use the make, type and gap specified

for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an

authorised dealer for this.

– 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.

Maintenance

It is important to remember that fail-

ure to respect antipollution regulations

could lead to legal action being taken

against the vehicle owner.

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.

– 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.

Manufacture

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).

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).

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and

95% recoverable.

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

In the following situations, the system

risk coming into action late or not func-

tioning correctly:

– system not reset after reinflation or

any operation on the wheels;

– system badly reset: different inflation

pressures from the recommended

pressures;

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid.

The function does not take

the place of the driver. It

cannot, therefore, under any cir-

cumstances replace the vigilance

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES, AIDS (2/3)

Understeer control

In some situations (driving on very wet

ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with

snow chains fitted), the system may

reduce the engine output to limit wheel-

spin.

Electronic stability program

ESC with understeer control

and traction control

This system optimises the action of the

ESC in the case of pronounced unders-

teering (loss of front axle road holding).

Electronic stability program ESC

Traction control

This system helps you to keep control

of the vehicle in critical driving condi-

tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip

on a bend, etc.).

Operating faults

This system helps to limit wheelspin of

the drive wheels and to control the ve-

hicle when pulling away accelerating or

decelerating.

When the system detects an operat-

^{warning light}©and

^{ing fault the message “Ch}^{eck ESC” and}

are deactivated.

Operating principle

A sensor in the steering wheel detects

the direction selected by the driver.

Using the wheel sensors, the system

measures and compares the speed of

the drive wheels at all times and slows

down their over-rotation. If a wheel is

starting to slip, the system brakes au-

tomatically until the drive supplied be-

comes compatible with the level of grip

under the wheel again.

Consult an approved dealer.

Other sensors throughout the vehicle

measure the actual direction.

The system compares driver input to

the actual trajectory of the vehicle and

corrects the trajectory if necessary by

controlling the braking of certain wheels

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES, AIDS (3/3)

Emergency brake assist

This system supplements the ABS

and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-

tances.

Hill start assistance

The hill start assistance

system cannot completely

prevent the vehicle from

rolling backwards in all sit-

uations (extremely steep gradients

etc.).

Depending on the gradient of the in-

cline, this system assists the driver

when starting on a hill. It prevents the

vehicle from rolling backwards, de-

pending on the slope, by automatically

applying the brakes when the driver lifts

his/her foot off the brake pedal to de-

press the accelerator pedal.

Operating principle

The system is for detecting an emer-

gency braking situation. In this case,

the braking assistance immediately de-

velops maximum power and may trig-

ger ABS regulation.

ABS braking is maintained as long as

the brake pedal is applied.

In all cases, the driver may depress

the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-

cle from rolling backwards.

System operation

The hill start assistance function

should not be used for prolonged

stops: use the brake pedal.

It only operates when the gear lever is

in a position other than neutral (other

than N or P for automatic transmis-

sions) and the vehicle is completely

stationary (brake pedal depressed).

This function is not designed to im-

mobilise the vehicle permanently.

Hazard warning lights switching on

Depending on the vehicle, these may

light up in the event of sudden decel-

eration.

If necessary, use the brake pedal to

stop the vehicle.

The system holds the vehicle for ap-

proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are

then released (the vehicle will move ac-

cording to the slope).

The driver must remain particularly

vigilant when driving on slippery or

low-grip surfaces.

Risk of serious injury.

A

This function is an addi-

tional aid which indicates

other vehicles in the blind

spot area.

This system alerts the driver to other

vehicles in the detection zone A.

Special feature

It can never in any case be a sub-

stitute for care nor for the driver’s

responsibility while in charge of his

vehicle.

Make sure that the sensors are not ob-

scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

If a sensor is obscured, the message

“Blind spotclean sensor” will appear on

the instrument panel. Clean the sen-

sors.

The system is activated when the ve-

hicle’s speed is between approximately

19 mph (30 km/h) and 87 mph

(140 km/h).

The driver should always be ready

for sudden incidents while driv-

ing: always ensure that there are

no moving obstacles (such as a

child, animal, pushchair or bicy-

cle) or small, narrow objects such

as stones or posts in the blind spot

when manoeuvring.

This function uses sensors 1 installed in

the front and rear bumper of both sides.

then select “ON” or “OFF”.

An indicator light 3 is located on each

rear view mirror 4.

This function gives a warning:

– when the vehicle speed is between

approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) and

87 mph (140 km/h);

– when another vehicle is in the blind

spot area and travelling in the same

direction as your vehicle.

Note: clean the rear view mirrors 4 reg-

ularly so that the indicator lights 3 can

be seen properly.

If another vehicle is being overtaken,

the indicator 3 will be activated only if

that vehicle remains in the blind spot for

more than one second.

The system’s detection range oper-

ates according to a standard lane

Display C

First warning: the indicator 3 means

that a vehicle has been detected in the

blind spot.

Note: when the engine is started, the

indicator light 3, display B, flashes

three times. It is normal.

Display D

When the direction indicator is acti-

vated, the indicator light 3 flashes when

a vehicle is detected in the blind spot on

the side towards which you are about to

steer. If you cancel the direction indica-

tor, the function will return to the initial

warning (display C).

– The system’s detection

range operates according

to a standard lane width. If

you are driving in wide traf-

fic lanes, the system might not

be able to detect a vehicle in the

blind spot.

Conditions for non-function

– If the object is not moving;

– if traffic is heavy;

– the road is winding;

– if front and rear sensors both detect

an object at the same time (e.g.

when passing an articulated lorry).

– The system might be disrupted

momentarily if it is exposed to

strong electromagnetic waves

(as beneath high-tension power

lines) or to very poor weather

conditions (heavy rain, snow

etc.). Remain aware of driving

conditions.

– ...

Because sensors have

been installed in the bump-

ers, any work (repairs, re-

placements, touching up of

paintwork) must be carried out by a

qualified professional.

There is a risk of accidents.

2.44

BLIND SPOT WARNING (4/5)

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 driver should always adapt their speed to the traffic conditions, regardless of the system indications.

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

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, radar alignment may be changed, and its operation will consequently be affected. Deactivate the

function and consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the radars are located (repairs, replacements, etc.) must be carried out by a qualified profes-

sional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

System disturbance

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

– complex surroundings (metal bridges, tunnels, roads with barriers at the edge, etc.);

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

Risk of false alarms or absence of warnings

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

2.45

BLIND SPOT WARNING (5/5)

Limitation of the system operation

– The radar area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the

system.

– Small objects moving close to the vehicle (motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) may not be recognised by the system.

– When the vehicle enters corners and curves, detectors may temporarily no longer detect vehicles in adjacent lanes.

– The system does not give a warning when the right and left radars simultaneously detect vehicles moving at similar speeds

(e.g. traffic on a three lane road).

– The system may not react when there is a significant difference in speed with other vehicles.

– If the vehicle is being overtaken by a long vehicle (e.g. heavy goods vehicle overtaking at a similar speed to the vehicle) the

system may interrupt the warning before the end of the manoeuvre.

– The vehicle is travelling on a winding road.

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

– the radar area has been damaged (rear bumper);

– the vehicle is fitted with a towbar.

2.46

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (1/10)

Depending on the reactivity of the

driver, the system can assist with brak-

ing in order to limit damage or prevent

a collision.

Location of the radar 1

Ensure that the radar area is not ob-

structed (by dirt, mud, snow, a badly

fitted front number plate), impacted,

modified (including painting) or hidden

by any accessory fitted on the front of

the vehicle (on the grille or logo etc.).

1

This system can apply maximum

braking to the vehicle until it is

completely stationary if necessary.

For safety reasons, always wear

your seat belt when travelling in

your vehicle and make sure that it

is loaded so that no items can be

thrown forward and hit the occu-

pants.

Using the radar data 1, the system cal-

culates the distance separating it:

– from the vehicle ahead in the same

lane;

or

– from oncoming vehicles at a cross-

roads.

The system informs the driver if there

is a risk of head-on collision to enable

appropriate emergency manoeuvres

(pressing the brake pedal and/or turn-

ing the steering wheel).

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid. This func-

tion is not under any circum-

stances intended to replace

the due care and attention of the

driver, who should at all times be

in control of the vehicle.

2.47

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (2/10)

Operation

Note: if the driver uses the vehicle con-

trols (steering wheel, pedals, etc.) the

system may delay certain operations or

not activate.

Detection of vehicles

When driving at a speed between

approximately 4 mph (7 km/h) and

105 mph (170 km/h), if there is a risk

of collision with the vehicle in front, the

system:

2

– warns you of a collision risk:

The red warning light



appears

on the instrument panel accompa-

nied by an audible signal and, de-

pending on the vehicle, the mes-

sage: 2 ‟Brake”.

If the driver depresses the brake

pedal and the system still detects a

risk of collision, the brake force is in-

creased.

If the vehicle stopped as a result of

active emergency braking, the driver

must keep the vehicle stationary by ap-

plying the brake pedal.

– may trigger braking:

if the driver fails to react following the

alert and collision becomes immi-

nent.

In the event of emergency manoeu-

vre, you can stop braking at any

moment by:

– tapping the accelerator pedal;

or

– turning the steering wheel as a

collision avoidance manoeuvre.

The cruise control function is inter-

rupted:

– when you press the 1 switch. In this

case, the speed is no longer stored;

– when you press the 5 switch. In this

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/6)

System A

Special features

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-

cated by the arrows 1 are not obscured

(by dirt, mud, snow, a badly fitted/at-

tached number plate), impacted, mod-

ified (including paintwork) or obstructed

by any accessory fitted to the rear of

your vehicle.

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by

arrows 1 are fitted in the rear bumper to

measure the distance between the ve-

hicle and an obstacle when the vehicle

is 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 30 centi-

1

metres from the obstacle. Stop as soon

as traffic conditions allow.

There is a beep when reverse gear is

engaged. If the beep sounds for a long

time (about three seconds), this signals

an operating fault.

The parking distance control system

does not take into account towing and

load carrying systems etc.

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the

vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.

Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-

ity whilst reversing.

The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: always

ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a child, animal,

pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.

Deactivating the system

You can deactivate the system by

pressing switch 2 or, depending on the

vehicle, switch 3.

Deactivating the parking

distance control manually

If towing, carrying or trailer equipment is

present in front of the ultrasonic detec-

tors, you must deactivate the system.

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).

The warning light above switch 2

or 3 stays on.

Operating faults

The deactivated system can be reacti-

vated by pressing the switch again.

When the system detects an operating

fault, a continuous three-second beep

will sound as a warning. Consult an ap-

proved dealer.

To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an ap-

proved dealer.

the vehicle is approximately 20 to

30 centimetres from the obstacle.

System B

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by

arrows 4, are fitted in the bumpers to

measure the distance between the ve-

hicle and an obstacle.

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the

vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.

Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-

ity whilst reversing.

The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: always

2.74

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)

Driving in automatic mode

Special cases

Special circumstances

Put lever 1 into position D.

In certain driving conditions (result-

ing in, for example, engine protection,

operation of the Electronic Stability

Control programme: ESC etc.) the au-

tomated system may change the gear

automatically.

If the road type or weather condi-

tions (steep uphill slopes, steep de-

scents, deep snow, sand or mud) make

it difficult to stay in automatic mode,

depending on the vehicle, it is advisa-

ble to switch to “Low” mode to enable

the vehicle to drive at low speed below

30 mph (50 km/h) on surfaces with low

grip (snow, mud etc.), climbing a slope

or engine braking during a hill descent.

To do this, set the lever to position L.

In most road conditions you will en-

counter, you will not need to touch your

lever again: the gears will change au-

tomatically at the right time and at the

most suitable engine speed because

the automatic system takes into ac-

count the vehicle load and road contour

and adjusts itself to the particular driv-

ing style you have chosen.

Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-

vres, a gear change may be refused by

the automatic system: in this case the

gear display flashes for a few seconds

as a warning.

Economical driving

Note: in “Low” mode, the variations

in engine speed are continuous and

the accelerations are more linear.

When driving, always leave the lever

in position D, keeping the accelerator

pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-

matic gear changes at a lower engine

speed.

To avoid the engine stalling in very

cold weather, wait a few seconds

before disengaging position P or N and

engaging the lever in position D, R or L.

When facing uphill, to remain

stopped, do not keep your foot on

the accelerator.

Accelerating and overtaking

Depress the accelerator pedal firmly

and fully (so that it goes beyond the

kickdown point).

Risk of overheating the automatic

gearbox.

This will enable you to change down

to the optimum gear within the

engine range.

Check that the indicator

light P on the instrument

panel is activated before

leaving the vehicle.

Risk of loss of immobilisation of

the vehicle.
