permanently. 
   
 
 
  With the ignition on, press this button 
until an audible signal starts and a 
corresponding message is displayed.     If one of the doors or the boot is open, the

the locks rebounding, accompanied 
by illumination of this symbol in the

will rebound and the alerts mentioned 
above will appear. 
  Pressing the central locking button unlocks the 
vehicle. 
  Above 6 mph (10 km/h), this locking is 
temporary.    The state of the system stays in memory when 
switching off the ignition.

operational for approximately 
45 seconds after the ignition is 
switched off or until the vehicle is 
locked after a door is opened. 
  If the passenger 's window cannot be 
operated from the driver's door control

One-touch electric 
windows 
  There are two options: 
  After approximately ten consecutive 
complete opening/closing movements 
of the window, a protection function is 
activated which only authorises closing 
of the window to prevent damage to the 
electric window motor. 
  Once the window is closed, the controls 
will become available again after 
approximately 40 minutes.

Safety anti-pinch 
 
When the window rises and meets an obstacle, 
it stops and partially lowers again. 
   
Reinitialisation 
 
If a window does not rise automatically,
its operation must be reinitialised: 
   
 
 
  pull the control until the window stops, 
   
 
  release the control and pull it again until 
the window closes fully, 
   
 
  continue to hold the control for 
approximately one second after the 
window has closed, 
   
 
  press the control to lower the window 
automatically to the low position, 
   
 
  when the window has reached the low 
position, press the control again for 
approximately one second.  
   
The safety anti-pinch function is not 
operational during these operations. 
 
 
    If the window cannot be closed
(for example, in the presence of ice), 
once the window has lowered: 
   
 
 
  press and hold the control until the 
window opens fully, 
   
 
  then pull the control immediately 
and hold it until the window closes,

window has closed.  
   
The safety anti-pinch function is not 
operational during these operations. 
 
    
Always remove the key from the ignition 
when leaving the vehicle, even for a 
short time. 
  If an obstacle is encountered during 
operation of the electric windows,
you must reverse the movement of the 
window. To do this, press the control 
concerned. 
  When the driver operates the 
passenger's electric window control, 
they must ensure that nothing is 
preventing the windows closing 
correctly. 
  The driver must ensure that the 
passengers use the electric windows 
correctly. 
  Be aware of children when operating 
the windows.

Fuel tank  
 
Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres. 
 
 
 
Low fuel level 
 
When the low fuel level in the 
tank is reached, this warning lamp 
comes on in the instrument panel, 
accompanied by an audible warning 
and the display of an alert message. When it 
first comes on,  around 6 litres 
 of fuel remain 
in the tank. 
  Until sufficient fuel has been added, every 
time the ignition is switched on, this warning 
lamp appears, accompanied by an audible 
signal and an alert message. When driving, 
this audible signal and the display of this 
alert message are repeated with increasing 
frequency, as the level drops towards  0 
. 
  You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid 
running out. 
  If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to 
"Checks".  
 
 
Refuelling 
 
 
 
 
  Press control  A 
 until the automatic opening 
of the fuel flap is heard.  
  This control remains active for a few 
minutes after switching off the ignition. 
If necessary, switch the ignition on again 
to reactivate it. 
   
 
  Take care to select the pump that delivers 
the correct fuel for your vehicle.  
   
 
 
 
 
 
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the 
system in STOP mode; you must switch 
off the ignition with the key.    Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to 
be registered by the fuel gauge. 
  Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of 
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results 
from the sealing of the fuel system.
