- check that the fl oor mat is correctly positioned,
- never use more than one fl oor mat.
This action does not cancel the memorised maximum speed which remains displayed in zone A ofthe instrument panel.

If there is risk of clogging, a message appears on the multifun ction display, accompanied by a sound signal and lighting of the SERVICE warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle fi lter is starting to fi ll up (in conditions of urban driving of exceptionally lon g dura-tion: low speeds, traffi c jams etc.)
To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised to drive as soon as p ossible, when traffi c conditions permit, at a speed of 60 km/h (around 40 mph) or more for at least fi ve minutes (until t he alert message disappears).
