WARNING LIGHTS (2/3)
The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.
åAir bag warning light
This comes on when the igni-
tion is switched on and goes out after
a few seconds. If it does not come on
when the ignition is switched on or if it
flashes, there is a fault in the system.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
LLow fuel level or additional
heating warning light
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds. If it comes on while driving,
accompanied by a beep, this means
the imminent end of fuel power for the
additional heating.
™Seat belt reminder light
Depending on the vehicle, it is
displayed on the instrument panel or on
the central display of the dashboard. It
remains on when the engine is started
if your seat belt is not fastened. A beep
sounds at a low volume for 30 seconds,
then at a high volume for 90 seconds.
DBrake circuit fault warning
light
If it comes on during braking and is ac-
companied by the
® warning light
and a beep, it indicates that the fluid
level in the circuit is low or that there is
a braking system fault. Stop as soon as
traffic conditions allow and contact an
approved Dealer.

This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out as soon as
the engine is started. It can light up in
conjunction with other warning lights

fully to an approved dealer as soon as
possible. If you fail to follow this recom-
mendation, you risk damaging your ve-
hicle.

button 6 and then lower the lever to the
floor.
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
GEAR CONTROL (2/2)/HANDBRAKE
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
In the event an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture), this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
Do not touch the circuit elements or
any fluids or liquids.
To prevent any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorised dealer.
Risk of serious injury or electric
shock and risk to life.
When setting off , if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever
can be released manually. To do this,
unclip the base of the lever and simulta-
neously press at location 4 and the un-
locking button 6 on the lever.
When stationary and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage position P.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

Level 3
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the “ MINI” warning
line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
