Driving
Detection may be impeded:
– If the markings on the ground are worn 
and not clearly contrasted against the road 
surface.
–
 
If the windscreen is dirty
 .
–
 
In certain extreme weather conditions: 
fog, heavy rain, snow
, shade, bright sunlight 
or direct exposure to the sun (e.g. low sun, 
leaving a tunnel).
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations 
on the use of driving and 
manoeuvring aids.
Depending on version, the function consists of 
either the "Coffee Break Alert" system alone 
or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert" 
system.
These systems are in no way designed  to keep the driver awake or to prevent 
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel. 
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling 
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least 
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the vehicle  configuration menu.
The state of the system is memorised when the 
ignition is switched off.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects that the driver has not taken a 
break after two hours of driving at a speed above 
40 mph (65
  km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message 
encouraging the driver to take a break, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert 
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following 
conditions is met:
–
 
With the engine running, the vehicle has been 
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–
 
The ignition has been switched off for a few 
minutes.
–
 
The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their 
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle  drops below 40 mph (65   km/h), the 
system goes into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the 
speed is above 40 mph (65
  km/h).
Driver Attention Warning
Depending on version, the "Coffee Break Alert" 
system is combined with the "Driver Attention 
Warning" system.
 
 
Using a camera placed at the top of the 
windscreen, the system assesses the 
driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by 
identifying variations in trajectory compared to 
the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads 
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
  km/h)).
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the 
“Take care! ” message, accompanied by an 
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers 
a further alert with the message " Dangerous 
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more 
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road 
surface or strong winds), the system may 
give alerts independent of the driver's level of 
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere  with the operation of the system or 
prevent it from working:
–  lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow, 
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
–  close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings 
not detected);
–  roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Blind Spot Monitoring
Refer to the General recommendations 
on the use of driving and 
manoeuvring aids.
 
 
This system includes sensors, placed on the 
sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of 
the potentially dangerous presence of another 
vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot 
areas of their vehicle (areas hidden from the 
driver's field of vision).

distant obstacles; yellow: close obstacles; red: 
very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger" 
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the 
front parking sensors are triggered when an 
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the 
vehicle is still below 6 mph (10   km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if 
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in 
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected 
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6
  mph (10   km/h).

As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the 
engine running, this system displays views of 
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch 
screen using a camera located at the rear of the 
vehicle.
 
 
 
 
The screen is divided into two parts with a 
contextual view and a view from above the 
vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information 
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
–  
Standard view
 .
–
 
180° view
 .
–
 
Zoom view
 .
AUTO mode is activated by default.

to display
  (standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time 
during a manoeuvre.
The system status is not saved when the ignition 
is switched off.
Principle of operation 
 
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close 
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres 
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close 
surroundings is reconstructed (represented 
between the brackets) in real time and as the 
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when 
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle 
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the 
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
The display disappears above  approximately 6 mph (10   km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated 
about 7 seconds after coming out of reverse 
or on opening a door or the boot.

Practical information
Compatibility of fuels  
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734 
and EN16709 standards and containing up to 
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester 
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even 
occasionally, imposes special maintenance 
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
  
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, 
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk 
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised  for use are those that meet the B715000 
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the 
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel 
fuels could prevent the engine from operating 
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use 
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank 
more than 50
  % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid 
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle 
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s 
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular 
fuel may be required (specific octane rating, 
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct 
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 69 litres.
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, 
one of these warning lamps lights 
up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the 
display of a message and an audible signal. 
When it first comes on, about 8 litres of fuel 
remain.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid 
running out of fuel.
For more information on  Running out of fuel 
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp  indicates which side of the vehicle the 
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
At least 8 litres of fuel must be added, in order to 
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused 
by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and 
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►
 
Always switch off the engine.
►
 
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry 
and Starting.
 
 
► Open the fuel filler flap.
