In good or rainy weather, by both day and night, the front foglamps and therear foglamps are prohibited. In thesesituations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They should only be used in fog or falling snow.In these weather conditions, you shouldswitch on the foglamps and dippedbeam headlamps manually, as thesunshine sensor may detect sufficient light.Do not forget to switch off the front andrear foglamps when they are no longer necessary.


Switching off the lightingwhen switching off the ignition

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
The system continuously monitors thepressures on the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel 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 aler t as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does not replace the vigilance or theresponsibility of the driver. This system does not avoid the need tocheck the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairsroad holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear,particularly under arduous condition(high loading, high speed, long journey). S
ystem which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyrepressure label (see the "Identificationmarkings" section). Tyre pressures should be checkedwhen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderatespeeds). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.

Driving with under-inflated tyresincreases fuel consumption.
