COMFORT
PROGRAMMABLE HEATING

The programmable heating operates
independently of the engine.
When the engine is off, it pre-heats
the coolant circuit in order to benefi t
from an optimum engine operating
temperature from the time the en-
gine is switched on.
The programmable heating system
is switched on using the long range
remote control. Activation can be im-
mediate or deferred by means of a
programming function.

Programming remote control

The heating system programming
remote control consists of the fol-
lowing buttons and displays:


1.
Scrolling functions menu buttons.

2.
Function indicator lights: clock,
temperature, operating time, pro-
grammed time, heater operation,
heating management symbols.

3.
Digital displays: time, tempera-
ture, duration of operation, pro-
grammed time or level of heating.

4.
Off button.

5.

in succession to
display the functions.
The fi rst press of the left-hand or
right-hand button displays the time.
Next, the left-hand button permits ac-
cess to the programming time then to

DRIVING











STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into 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 &

tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.

put the gear lever in position N
.
Going into engine STOP mode

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

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 func-
tionality of the vehicle, such as for ex-
ample, braking, power steering...

Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
In this case, the "ECO"

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

- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,

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

- the electric parking brake is ap-
plied or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the

PRACTICAL INFORMATION








ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to con-
serve a suffi cient level of charge in
the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped headlamps, courtesy
lights, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.

Switching to economy mode

Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-function
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at this
time:


- it will be maintained for 5 minutes
with radio-CD hands-free kit,

-
it will be interrupted after 10 minutes
with the MyWay audio-navigation
system,

- you can complete your call with
the NaviDrive system.
This period may be signifi cantly re-
duced if the battery charge is low.


Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-matically next time the vehicle is
driven.


)
In order to resume the use of
these functions immediately, start
the engine and let it run for a few
minutes.
The time available will then be dou-
ble the duration for which the en-
gine was left running. However, this
time will always be between fi ve and
thirty minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).
