Adjusting the cruise speed 
setting
The cruise control must be activated. As a precaution, it is recommended 
that the cruise speed chosen be close 
to the current speed of your vehicle, so 
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or 
deceleration of the vehicle.
To modify the cruise speed setting from the 
current speed of the vehicle:
F  
i
 n steps of + or - 1 mph (km/h), make 
repeated short presses on button 2 or 3 ,
F
 
c
 ontinuously, in steps of + or - 5 mph 
(km/h), press and hold button 2 or 3 .
Take care: pressing and holding 
button
  2 or 3   results in a rapid change 
in the speed of your vehicle.
To modify the cruise speed setting using 
memorised speeds and from your Audio 
system:
F
 
w
 ith the system first activated (see 
"Memorising speeds"),
F
 
m
 ake a long press on button 2 or 3 , the 
system displays the memorised speed 
closest to the actual speed of the vehicle; 
this setting becomes the new cruise speed,
F
 
t
 o choose another memorised speed, make 
another long press on button 2 or 3. To modify the cruise speed setting using 
memorised speeds and from the touch screen 
tablet:

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

Switching off the lighting 
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the 
lamps switch off immediately, except for 
the dipped beam headlamps if automatic 
guide-me-home lighting is activated.In some weather conditions (e.g. low 
temperature or humidity), the presence 
of misting on the internal sur face of the 
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps 
is normal; it disappears after the lamps 
have been on for a few minutes.
Switching on the lighting when 
switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn 
the ring A
 to position "0"  - lighting off, then 
to the position of your choice.
If the lighting is switched on manually after 
switching off the ignition, there is an audible 
signal when a front door is opened to warn 
the driver that they have forgotten to switch 
off the vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a period 
which depends on the state of charge of the 
battery (entry to energy economy mode).

Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain 
functions according to the level of charge 
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load 
reduction function temporarily deactivates 
certain functions, such as the air conditioning, 
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated 
automatically as soon as conditions permit.System which manages the duration of use of 
certain functions to conserve a sufficient level 
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can 
still use functions such as the audio and 
telematics system,
  windscreen wipers, dipped 
beam headlamps,
  courtesy lamps, etc. for 
a maximum combined duration of about 
forty
 m
inutes.
Energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode
A message then appears in the instrument 
panel screen indicating that the vehicle has 
switched to economy mode and the active 
functions are put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this time,  
it will be maintained for around 10 minutes with 
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio 
system.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically 
next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions 
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
- 
f
 or less than ten minutes, to use the 
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-
 
f
 or more than ten minutes, to use the 
equipment for up to approximately 
thirty
 m
inutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to 
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the 
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from 
starting (refer to the "Battery" section).
