Electric exterior rear view mirrors
Your vehicle is equipped with elec-tric door mirrors.
Set the position of the selected door mirror:1. Left hand door mirror.2. Right hand door mirror.
Move the control in the four direc-tions to set the position.
The defrosting of the exterior rear view mirrors is linked to the electri-cal demisting of the rear window.
Fold-back of door mirrors
When the vehicle is parked, the door mirrors can be folded back either manually or electrically.
Turn the control to position 3 for electric foldback of the rear view mirrors.
Quit position 3 to deploy the rear view mirrors.
The end of the glass in the exte-rior rear view mirrors is aspherical, so as to enlarge the lateral fi eld of vision.
Objects observed in the aspherical part of the rear view mirrors are in reality closer than they appear.
You must take this into account in order to be properly aware of the distances involved.
Interior rear view mirror
The lever on the lower edge ena-bles you to place the rear view mir-ror in either of two positions:
Day position: the lever is not vis-ible.
Night position (anti-dazzle): the lever is visible.

Electric operation
The switches on the console allow the vehicle’s electric windows to be controlled from the driver’s posi-tion.
Sequential control on driver's side
An action on the control to the fi rst notch causes a window movement which stops as soon as the control is released.
An action on the control to the second notch causes the window to close or open completely, a fur-ther press on the control stops the movement.Note: The window controls also operate for a limited time after you have switched off the ignition.
ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING THE WINDOWS
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even if for a short time.
If there is an obstruction when operating a window, you must immedi-ately reverse the window movement. To do that, reverse th e position of the control concerned.
If the driver is operating the electric window controls for passengers, he or she should ensure that no passenger is obstructing th e window from closing.
The driver must ensure that the electric windows are use d properly by passengers.
Anti-pinch on driver's window
An anti-pinch device stops the window from rising. If it meets a n obstacle, it goes back down.
After a battery disconnection or if there has been a malfun ction, you have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function:Use the control to fully open the window, then reclose. It will rise only a few centimetres.
Press again on the control until the window closes fully.
During this operation, the anti-pinch protection does not w ork.
Manual operation
Turn the handle to raise or lower the window.

Stopping the engine
Before switching the engine off, you must choose:To leave the vehicle in neutral ; for that, place the leve r in position N.
To leave the vehicle with a gear engaged (1st or 2nd or Rse); for that, place the gear lever in the respective posi-tion. In this case, the vehicle cannot be moved.
In all cases it is essential to apply the parking brake.
It is possible within a limited time to re-engage a gear, even if the engine is switched off.
Before any operation in the engine compartment, check that the gearbox is in neutral and that the parking brake is applied.
Acceleration
The accelerator pedal may have an end-of-travel switch. If so, to obtain extra acceleration you can action this switch by pressing the pedal hard down.

Place the gear lever in position M, and then the controls under the steering wheel will give you access to the fi ve gears in forward drive.
To change gear:Pull the control “+” towards you to engage a higher gear.Pull the control “-” towards you to change down.
These controls do not permit you to select neutral or reverse gear, nor do they enable you to quit reverse gear.


Commands using the gear lever
Place the gear lever in position M, then:Push the lever to change to a higher gear.Pull the lever to change down.
Remarks:When the vehicle reduces speed, for example approach-ing a stop sign or traffi c lights, the gearbox changes down automatically to 1st gear.
In manual mode, it is not neces-sary to release the accelerator during changes of gear.




A command to change gear is accepted only if the engine speed permits this.As the engine reaches maxi-mum revs and conditions per-mit, the system will automati-cally engage a higher gear.
Re-initialisation
The Electronic Gearbox System requires a re-initialisation after one of the following events:Change of battery or discon-nection of battery.Starting the engine with an assisting battery.
A system malfunction.
To re-initialise the system:Switch on the ignition. A dash and “AUTO” will display in the instrument panel.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a "Stop & Start" system, in association with an Electronic Gearbox System; this shuts down the engine during stopping phases (red lights, traffi c jams, temporary halts, etc.).
During these phases, your vehicle uses no fuel, emits no pollut ants and is completely silent.
The engine restarts instantly when you want to move forward ag ain.
Functioning of the "Stop & Start" system:
If you brake to stop your vehicle, the engine shuts down just before the vehicle comes to a complete halt; the green "ECO" warning lamp lights up in the instrument panel. The en gine remains shut down for as long as you keep your foot, even lightly, on the brake pedal.
As you release the brake pedal, the engine restarts automaticall y and instantly. The green "ECO" warning lamp goes out. You can then accelerate to move forward again.

Situations where the engine does not shut down:
Before shutting down the engine, the system automatically and instantly checks that a certain number of conditions touching on safety, cabin comfort or engine protection are met .
For example, the engine will not shut down, or it will restart by itself:Within the few minutes following fi rst starting (engine col d).
If the temperature in the passenger compartment is insuffi cient:In conditions of extreme outside temperatures (lower than -10°C, higher than +30°C), provided the air condition-ing is operating.More generally, if the ambient conditions and the temperature programmed for the air conditioning make it nec-essary for the engine to be running in order to produce eithe r warm or cold air.If you have activated windscreen demisting/deicing.In the event of a prolonged stop on a steep incline, in order to maintain the vehicle's braking capability.
After you have engaged reverse gear, engine shutdown is suspend ed for approx. fi fteen seconds.
