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

 W ith   a   Diesel   engine,   turn   the   key   to  
p

osition 2,
  ignition   on,   to   operate   the  
eng

 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

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.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
I t   controls   the   steering   while   the   driver   manages   the   accelerator,   brakes,   gears   and   clutch   (manual   gearbox).   During   phases   of   entry   into   and   exit   from  
a

  parking   space,   the   system   provides   visual   and   audible   information   to   the   driver   in   order   to   make   the   manoeuvre   safe.   It   may   be   necessary   to   move  
f

or wards   and   backwards   more   than   once.
The
  Park   Assist   system   cannot   in   any  
c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
  driver   must   remain   in   control   of  
t

heir   vehicle   ensuring   that   the   space  
r

emains   clear   during   the   manoeuvre.
In
  some   circumstances,   the   sensors  
m

ay   not   detect   small   obstacles   located  
i

n   their   blind   spots. Changing
  tyre   sizes   (out-size   tyres,  
w

inter   tyres,   ...)   can   inter fere   with  
t

he   correct   operation   of   the   parking  
a

ssistance   system.
During
  a   manoeuvre   the   steering   wheel  
t

urns   quickly:   do   not   hold   the   steering  
w

heel,   do   not   place   your   hand   between  
t

he   spokes   of   the   steering   wheel   and  
t

ake   care   with   loose   and   bulky   clothing,  
s

carves,   handbags...   There   is   a   risk   of  
in

jury. For
  entry   into   a   parking   space   (parallel  
p

arking)   the   system   does   not   detect  
s

paces   which   are   clearly   much   smaller  
o

r   larger   than   the   size   of   the   vehicle.
This
  "parking   assistance"   system  
i

s   activated   automatically   during

anoeuvres;   it   is   therefore   possible

  selection   of   the   type   of   manoeuvre  
(

pace)   prevents   a   change   to   STOP
