Gearbox and steering wheel



Changing gear


In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle.
Manual mode

Changing to manual mode

Move the gear selector to M
.

Automatic mode

Changing to automatic
mode

Move the gear selector to A
.
The gearbox then operates in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:


- driving style,

- road profi le,

- optimum fuel consumption.
Pull on the " +
" control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the " -
" control
paddle to change down.


- If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically, to fi rst gear if
needed.

- It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.

- A gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.

- For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically.

Starting and stopping

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

When the vehicle is stationary,
release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by pulling the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height
and reach, then lock the mechanism by
pushing the lever fully forwards.

Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N
.


Stopping the vehicle

Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N
.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument panel.

Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N
.


Acceleration

For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing down fi rmly.

Stop & Start

STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at a speed below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear selector into
position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking maoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,

- the parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of
a system.
In this case, the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Front and rear foglamps
Rotate ring B
forwards to switch on
and rearwards to switch off. The status
is confi rmed by the warning lamps in
the instrument panel.
They operate with the sidelamps and
dipped beam headlamps. Do not forget to switch them off
when they are no longer needed.
Operation of the automatic illumination
of headlamps switches off the rear
foglamps, but the front foglamps
remain on.



Programming

For countries where exterior lighting by
day is not a legal requirement, you can
activate or deactivate the function via
the confi guration menu.
To switch off the front and rear
foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.

Automatic illumination of headlamps

In foggy weather or in snow,
the sunshine sensor may detect
suffi cient light. As a consequence,
the lighting will not come on
automatically. If necessary, you must
switch on the dipped beam headlamps
manually.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the windscreen,
behind the mirror. It is used for the
automatic illumination of headlamps and
for the automatic rain sensitive wipers.

Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO
position. The
activation of this function is accompanied
by a message in the screen.

Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards.
The deactivation of this function is
accompanied by a message in the
screen.
The function is deactivated temporarily
when you use the manual lighting
control stalk. The sidelamps
and dipped beam
headlamps switch
on automatically if
the light is poor, or
during operation of the windscreen
wipers. They switch off as soon as the
light becomes bright enough or the
windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime running lamps. If the user does not operate any
equipment for 30 minutes, the
Economy mode engages to avoid
discharging the battery (see "Battery"
in section 7). Electrical functions are
put on standby and the battery warning
lamp fl ashes.
Sidelamp operation is not affected by
Economy mode.

On starting the vehicle, in daylight the
LED daytime running lamps come on
automatically.
If the sidelamps and headlamps are
switched on manually or automatically,
the daytime running lamps go off.

Cornering lighting


With dipped or main beam headlamps,
this function makes use of the beam
from a front foglamp to illuminate the
inside of a bend, when the vehicle
speed is below 25 mph (approximately
40 km/h) (urban driving, winding road,
intersections, parking manouevres...).

Switching on
This function starts:


- when the corresponding direction
indicator is switched on,
