Indicator and warning lamps
Certain warning lamps may come on in one  of  two  modes:  fixed  (continuous)  or Â
f
lashing.
Only
 by  relating  the  type  of  illumination Â
t
o the operation of the vehicle can it
be
 determined  whether  the  situation  is Â
n
ormal  or  a  fault  has  occurred.  In  the Â

Ignition on position (2)
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment  or  portable  devices  to  be  charged.
Once

Â
a  petrol  engine,  operate  the  starter Â

 by  turning  the  key  to  position  3
without
 pressing  the  accelerator  pedal, Â
u
ntil
Â
the  engine  starts.  Once  the  engine  is Â

Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument  panel  then  operate  the  starter m
otor  by  turning  the  key  to  position 3
without
 pressing  the  accelerator  pedal,
 u
ntil  the  engine  starts.  Once  the  engine  is
 r
unning,  release  the  key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can  stay  on  for  a  longer  period.  When Â
t
he  engine  is  hot,  the  warning  lamp Â
d
oes  not  come  on. In
 temperate  conditions,  do  not  leave Â
t
he  engine  at  idle  to  warm  up  but  move Â
o
ff  straight  away  and  drive  at  moderate Â
s
peed.
Never  leave  the  engine  running  in Â
a
n  enclosed  area  without  adequate Â
v
entilation:
 in
ternal
 c
ombustion
 e
ngines  emit  toxic  exhaust  gases, Â
s
uch  as  carbon  monoxide.  Danger  of  i
ntoxication  and  death.
In  very  severe  wintry  conditions Â
(
temperatures  below  -23°C),  to  ensure Â
t
he  correct  operation  and  durability  of Â
t
he  mechanical  components  of  your Â
v
ehicle,  engine  and  gearbox,  it  is Â
n
ecessary  to  leave  the  engine  running Â
f
or  4  minutes  before  moving  off.
If
 the  engine  does  not  start  straight Â
a
way,  switch  off  the  ignition.  Wait  a  few Â
m
oments  before  operating  the  starter Â
m
otor  again.  If  the  engine  does  not Â
s
tart  after  several  attempts,  do  not  keep Â

Operation
Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up, on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
T he  system  adapts  its  gear  change Â
r
ecommendation  according  to  the Â
d
riving  conditions  (slope,  load,  ...)  and Â
t
he  demands  of  the  driver  (power, Â
a
cceleration, Â braking, Â ...).
The
 system  never  suggests:
-
Â
e
ngaging  first  gear,
-
 enga
ging
 r
everse
 g
ear,
-
Â
e
ngaging  a  lower  gear.
Example:
-
Â
Y
ou  are  in  third  gear.
Depending
 on  the  driving  situation  and  your Â
v
ehicle's  equipment,  the  system  may  advise Â
y
ou  to  skip  one  (or  more)  gear(s).  You  can Â
f
ollow  this  instruction  without  engaging  the Â
i
ntermediate
 g
ears.
-
Â
Y
ou  press  the  accelerator  pedal.
-
Â
T
he  system  may  suggest  that  you  engage Â
a
 higher  gear.
The
 information  appears  in  the  instrument Â
p
anel  in  the  form  of  an  arrow,  accompanied  by Â
t
he  recommended  gear.
On
 certain  Diesel  versions  with  manual Â
g
earbox,  the  system  may  suggest Â
c
hanging  into  neutral  (N
 is  displayed  in Â
t
he  instrument  panel)  so  that  the  engine Â
c
an  go  into  standby  (STOP  mode Â
w
ith  Stop  &  Start),  in  certain  driving Â
c
onditions.
The
 gear  engagement  recommendations  must Â
n
ot  be  considered  compulsory.  In  fact,  the Â
c
onfiguration  of  the  road,  the  amount  of  traffic Â
a
nd  safety  remain  determining  factors  when Â
c
hoosing  the  best  gear.  Therefore,  the  driver Â
r
emains  responsible  for  deciding  whether  or  not Â
t
o  follow  the  advice  given  by  the  system.
This
 system  cannot  be  deactivated.
