Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom   of   the   boot,   as   close   as   possible   to   the   rear   seats.
Limit
  the   loads   carried   in   the   vehicle   and   reduce   wind   resistance  
(roof
  bars,   roof   rack...).   Use   a   roof   box   in   preference.
Remove
  roof   bars   and   roof   racks   after   use.
At
  the   end   of   winter,   remove   snow   tyres   and   refit   your   summer   tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the   door   aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,
-
 
a
fter   a   long   period   out   of   use.
Don't
  forget   the   spare   wheel   and   the   tyres   on   any   trailer   or   caravan.
Have
  your   vehicle   serviced   regularly   (engine   oil,   oil   filter,   air   filter,  
p

assenger   compartment   filter...)   and   observe   the   schedule   of  
o

perations   recommended   in   the   maintenance   and   warranty   guide.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   third   cut-off   of   the   nozzle   to  
a

void   any   over flow.
At
  the   wheel   of   your   new   vehicle,   it   is   only   after   the   first   1   800   miles  
(

3 000   kilometres)   that   you   will   see   the   fuel   consumption   settle   down   to  
a

  consistent   average.

Steering wheel adjustment
(with   power   steering)
F When stationary ,   hold   the   steering   wheel   then   lower t
he   lever   to   release   the   adjustment   mechanism.
F Adjust  the   steering   wheel   to   the   desired   height
and   then   raise   the   lever   to   lock   the   adjustment m

echanism.
For safety reasons, these operations
must   not   be   carried   out   while   driving.
Once
  these   adjustments   have   been   made,
 e

nsure   that   you   can   see   the   instrument
 p

anel   clearly   from   your   driving   position.
Manual rear view mirror
The rear view mirror has two positions:
-  d ay   (normal),
-
 
n
ight   (anti-dazzle).
To
  change   from   one   to   the   other,   push   or   pull  
t

he   lever   on   the   lower   edge   of   the   mirror.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres,   once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel   speed   sensors   with   reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d

etects   a   drop   in   the   inflation   pressure   of   one  
o

r   more   tyres. The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This   system   does   not   avoid   the   need   to  
c

heck   the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare   wheel)   every   month   as   well   as  
b

efore   a   long   journey.
Driving   with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd   causes   premature   tyre   wear,  p
articularly   under   arduous   condition  (
high   loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The   inflation   pressures   defined   for  
y

our   vehicle   can   be   found   on   the   tyre  
p

ressure   label.
For   more   information   on   the  
i

dentification   markings,   refer   to   the  c
orresponding s ection.
Tyre   pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   are   "cold"   (vehicle  
s

topped   for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.

Never leave accumulations of snow or any   object   projecting   above   the   bonnet  
o

r   in   front   of   the   roof:   this   might   fall   into  
t

he   field   of   vision   of   the   sensor   and  
g

enerate   a   detection.
Operating limits
The system  o nly  d etects  v ehicles  (cars,  lorries) t
hat   are   stationary   or   moving   in   the   same  
d

irection   as   your   vehicle. In
  difficult   weather   conditions   (very  
h

eavy   rain,   snow,   fog,   hail...),   braking  
d

istances   increase,   which   can   reduce  
t

he   ability   of   the   system   to   avoid   a  
c

ollision.
The
  driver   must   therefore   remain  
par

ticularly
 v
igilant.
The
  system   is   not   triggered   or   is   interrupted   if  
t

he
 d
river:
-
 
a
ccelerates   strongly   (even   if   the   speed  
l

imiter   is   on),
-
 
o
r   turns   the   steering   wheel   suddenly  
(

avoiding
 m
anoeuvre).
Detection
  capability   is   less   effective   if:
-
 
y
ou   are   driving   on   roads   with   pronounced  
b

ends   and/or   on   roads   in   poor   condition,
-
 
y
our   vehicle   is   excessively   loaded,   as  
t

his   changes   the   horizontal   attitude   of   the  
v

ehicle.
-
 
y
our   vehicle   skids.
It
  does   not   detect   small   vehicles  
(

bicycles,   motorcycles),   pedestrians   or  
a

nimals,   nor   non-reflective   stationary  
ob

jects.Unwanted triggering of the system
It is possible for the system to detect a risk of imminent   collision   and   start   working,   in   the  
fo

llowing
 c
onditions
 in par
ticular:
-
 
d
etection   of   an   object   located   close   to   the  
e

dge   of   the   road   entering   a   corner   (safety  
b

arrier,   lamp   post   or   road   sign),
-
 
d
etection   of   a   structure   located   at   the   top  
o

r   bottom   of   a   steep   slope   (advertising  
h

oarding,   steet   lighting),
-
 
d
etection   of   reflective   objects   (central  
r

eservation...)   in   the   road,
-
 
d
etection   of   the   upper   bar   of   a   bridge   or   a
