If the vehicle is to be parked outside for
a long period, it is advisable to protect the
roof using a


tarpaulin.
It is advisable to close the roof when you
park the vehicle.
Even if the roof is closed, it is safer not to
leave any valuables inside the vehicle.
Remove the ignition key when you leave
the vehicle to prevent any involuntary roof
movement.
If your vehicle has a
voice command
system, it may be affected if you drive with
the roof open.
Protection of electric motors that control
roof opening and closure: during repeated
opening and closing movements of the
roof, it is possible that heating up of the
electric motors no longer allows the roof to
be opened or closed. Allow the motors to
cool by not trying to move the roof for ten
minutes.Boot

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor in the boot free from
obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the automatic air
conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes once or twice
a
month to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and replace
the filter elements periodically. We
recommend the use of a
combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it helps both to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and to keep the passenger compartment
clean (reduction of allergic symptoms,
bad odours and greasy deposits). If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a
few moments.
Put the air flow control at a
setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a
comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
F
T o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as
recommended in the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold
air, switch it off and contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a
steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-

d
o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-

d
o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period.
03
Ease of use and comfort

81
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- o nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of unapproved mats may inter fere
with access to the pedals and hinder the
operation of the cruise control/speed
limiter.
The approved mats have two fixings
located below the seat.
Boot fittings

To remove the shelf:
F u nhook the two cords,
F

g
ently lift the shelf, then unclip it on each
side.
Rear shelf
The rear shelf is fixed .
Before opening the roof completely,

This has areas for the storage of a
temporary
tyre repair kit, a box of spare bulbs, a first aid

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
s unshine sensor, the lighting comes
on, this warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/or
a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, linked
with the rain sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the
interior mirror, as this would disable the
associated functions.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
Automatic guide-me-home
lighting
When the automatic illumination of headlamps
is activated, if the ambient light level is low,
the dipped beam headlamps remain lit when
switching off the ignition.
Programming
Activation, deactivation and the
duration of the guide-me-home
lighting are set in the vehicle
configuration or parameters menu
(except monochrome screen A
where the duration is fixed: 60
s).
LED daytime running
lamps
This daytime lighting, which is a signature of
t he vehicle, consists of two sets of six LEDs
located on the vertical scoop under each
headlamp.
When starting the vehicle, the daytime running
lamps come on automatically, if the lighting
control stalk is in the 0
or AUTO position.
If the sidelamps and headlamps are switched
on manually or automatically, the daytime
running lamps go off.
Headlamp beam height
adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
u sers, the height of the headlamp beams
should be adjusted according to the load in the
vehicle.
0. Driver only or driver + front passenger.
-. Intermediate setting.
1. 5


people.
-. 5
people + load in the boot.
2. Driver only + maximum authorised load
in the boot. This position is enough not to
dazzle. The higher positions may limit the
area illuminated by the headlamps.
The initial setting is position 0.

that bottles or containers be stored in a
cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.

® in your vehicle.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a

container provided for

Before topping up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
