Lighting and visibility
4Exterior lighting
When the ignition is switched on, all the lights
come on (sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps
and number plate lamps).
When the ignition is switched off, all the lights
go out.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED lamps/headlamps: risk of serious
eye injury!
Direction indicators



► Left or right: lower or raise the multifunction
control stalk beyond the point of resistance.
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards (without
going beyond the point of resistance) and the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Wipers/Screenwash
Wipers



► Turn the knob to the desired position:Continuous wipe
Intermittent wipe
Switching off
Before operating the wipers in wintry
conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen, and from around the
wiper arms and blades.
Never operate the wipers when the
windscreen is dry. Before operating the
wipers when the weather is extremely cold or
hot, check that the wiper blades are not stuck
to the windscreen.
Screenwash

► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash operates as long as you hold
the multifunction control stalk, followed by a
cycle of 5 wipes when you release the stalk.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. In winter, use "very
cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
To ensure flat-bladed wipers remain effective:
–
Handle them with care.
– Clean them regularly using soapy water.
– Do not use them to hold a piece of
cardboard against the windscreen.

In the event of a breakdown
8Changing a wheel
The vehicle is not equipped with on-board tools,
such as a jack or wheel brace.
In the event of a flat tyre, call a dealer or
qualified workshop.
To have winter tyres fitted or the wheels
changed, consult a dealer or qualified workshop.
Changing a bulb
Cleaning
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
–
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
–
Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–
When using a jet of water to clean off
persistent marks, do not keep the jet directed
towards the headlamps, lamps or their
edges for too long, so as not to damage their
protective coating and seals.
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
Do not touch LED headlamps/lamps.
To replace this type of bulb, you must consult
a dealer or qualified workshop.
Direction indicators
Rapid flashing of the indicator lamp for a
direction indicator
(left or right) indicates that
one of the bulbs on the corresponding side
has failed.

Removing

► Lie down behind the vehicle in the middle of
the rear bumper.
►
Pass your arm behind the bumper to reach
the lamp above the foam shock absorber.
►
Pinch the fixing clip holding the lamp.
► Push the lamp down while holding the fixing
clip.
►
Disconnect the lamp from its wiring loom.
► Leave the wiring loom dangling through the
bumper.
Refitting
► Connect the new lamp to the suspended
wiring loom.
►
Replace the lamp into its housing by pressing
it until it clips into place.
Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse:
► Identify the cause of the fault and fix it.
► Switch off all power consumption.
► Immobilise the vehicle and switch off the
ignition.
►
Identify the defective fuse using the current
allocation tables and diagrams.
To replace a fuse, it is essential to:
►
Pull the fuse out of its housing and check the
state of its filament.
►
Always replace the failed fuse with a fuse of
the same rating (same colour); use of a different
rating may cause malfunctions - risk of fire!
If the fault recurs soon after replacing a fuse,
have the electrical system checked by a dealer
or qualified workshop.


Good


Faulty
The fuse allocation tables and corresponding diagrams are available
through a dealer or qualified workshop.
Replacement with a fuse not shown in the
allocation tables could cause a serious
malfunction of the vehicle. Consult a dealer or
qualified workshop.
Installing electrical accessories
Before fitting other electrical equipment
or accessories to your vehicle, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The Manufacturer accepts no responsibility
for any costs incurred in repairing the vehicle
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting from
the installation of accessories not supplied
or not recommended by the Manufacturer
and not installed in accordance with its
recommendations, in particular when the
combined power consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected exceeds 10
milliamperes.
Accessing the fuses

► Turn both fixing screws a quarter turn.
► Unclip the access cover.
► Pull out the faulty fuse and replace it.
