FAMILIARISATION
EXTERIOR


Grip control
This special traction control system im-
proves the traction of 2 wheel drive vehicles
in snow, mud and sand.
Welcome lighting
This additional exterior and interior light-
ing, controlled remotely, makes your ap-
proach to the vehicle easier when the
light is poor.
91

Directional lighting
This lighting automatically provides addi-
tional visibility when cornering.
93
Panoramic sunroof
This roof provides incomparable visibility
and light in the passenger compartment.
106

Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporar-
ily into standby during stops in the traf-
fi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc....). The
engine restarts automatically as soon as
you want to move off. The Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption, ex-
haust emissions and provides the com-
fort of complete silence when stationary.

)
To release the fl oor, push
slightly forwards then
raise.

)
Use the stops A
, placed on each
side of the boot to change the
height of the fl oor more easily. Intermediate position (100 kg max). High position (50 kg max) with the lower
tailgate closed to isolate the lower part
of the boot.
From the high position, place the fl oor
in this position (at an angle), two stops
support it to allow access underneath it
or to the spare wheel.

Optimise the use of your
gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gen-
tly, change up without waiting and
drive by changing up quite soon. If
your vehicle has the system, the gear
shift indicator invites you to change up;
it is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, ac-
cording to the type of gearbox, without
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily
or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background traf-
fi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing well.



Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents be-
fore using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the win-
dows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in
the passenger compartment down (sun
roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is at-
tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving
off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will
warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute to-
wards limiting the consumption of elec-
trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

Indicator and warning lamps

Visual indicators informing the driver
that a system is in operation (operation
or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the
occurrence of a fault (warning lamp).

When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a
few seconds when the vehicle's ignition
is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.


Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning
lamps may be accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message in the multi-
function screen.
The warning lamps may come
on continuously (fi xed) or
fl ash.
Certain warning lamps may come on
in two different modes. Only by re-
lating the type of illumination to the
operating status of the vehicle can
it be ascertained whether the situa-
tion is normal or whether a fault has
occurred.
