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

In cold weather with the engine cold, the air flow is increased gradually until
t
he system has warmed up, in order
t
o limit the delivery of cold air into the
p
assenger

ompartment.
On
entering the vehicle, if the interior
t
emperature is much colder or warmer
t
han the comfort value setting, there
i
s no need to alter the value displayed
i
n order to reach more quickly the
r
equired level of comfort. The system
c
ompensates automatically and
c
orrects the temperature difference as
q
uickly as possible.

Starting-switching off the engine
It has 3 positions:
- p osition 1 (Stop):
insert and removing
the
key,
-
p
osition 2 (Ignition on) :
steering column
u
nlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
e

-
p
osition 3 (Starting).
Ignition switch
Switching off the engine leads to a loss o
f braking assistance.
Ignition on position (2)
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once
the state of charge of the battery drops
t
o the reserve level, the system switches to
e
nergy economy mode: the power supply is
c
ut off automatically to preserve the remaining
b
attery charge. Avoid
attaching heavy objects to the k
ey, which would weigh down on its b
lade in the ignition switch and could
c
ause a malfunction.

F
I
nsert
the key into the ignition switch; the
s
ystem recognises the code.
In
certain cases, you may have to apply
m
ore force to the steering (wheels on
f
ull
lock, for example).
F
W
ith
a petrol engine, 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. F
W ith a Diesel engine, turn the key to
p
osition 2,
ignition on, to operate the
eng
ine
p
re-heating
s
ystem.
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
t
he engine is hot, the warning lamp
d
oes not come on. In
temperate conditions, do not leave
t
he engine at idle to warm up but move
o
ff straight away and drive at moderate
s
peed.
Never leave the engine running in
a
n enclosed area without adequate
v
entilation:
in
ternal
c
ombustion
e
ngines emit toxic exhaust gases,
s
uch as carbon monoxide. Danger of i
ntoxication and death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(
temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
t
he correct operation and durability of
t
he mechanical components of your
v
ehicle, engine and gearbox, it is
n
ecessary to leave the engine running
f
or 4 minutes before moving off.
If
the engine does not start straight
a
way, switch off the ignition. Wait a few
m
oments before operating the starter
m
otor again. If the engine does not
s
tart after several attempts, do not keep
t
rying: you risk damaging the starter
m
otor or the engine.

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

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on i
n the instrument panel and the engine g
oes into standby automatically:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , when stationary,
in
neutral, and you release the clutch
ped
al.
-
w
ith an electronic gearbox , when
stationary
or at speeds below 5 mph
(
8 km/h) (depending on version), in neutral
(
control on N)
or when you press the brake
ped
al. Never
refuel with the engine in STOP
m
ode; you must switch off the ignition
w
ith the button.
For
your comfort, during parking
m
anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
a
vailable for a few seconds after
c
oming out of reverse gear.
STOP
mode does not affect the the
v
ehicle's systems, such as for example,
b
raking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he vehicle is on a steep slope (rising or
f
alling),
-
t
he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(
10 km/h) since the last engine start by the
d
river,
-
t
he engine is needed to maintain a
c
omfortable temperature in the passenger
c
ompartment,
-
d
emisting is active,
-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
e
ngine temperature, braking assistance,
a
mbient temperature...) where the engine is
n
eeded to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
l
amp flashes for a few seconds then
g
oes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The
Stop
&
Start system
puts
the
engine
temporarily
into
standby
-
STOP

during
stops
in
the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams,
or
other...).

-
as
soon

you
want
to

off.
The
restart takes place instantly, quickly
and
silently.
Per fect
for

use,
the
Stop

Start
system
reduces
fuel
consumption
and
exhaust
emissions
as
well
as the noise level when
stationary.

A cumulative time counter for periods i n STOP mode during a journey.
It
