COMFORT

Changing the battery
The remote control is supplied by a
6 V-28L battery, which is supplied.
Information on the display indicates
when it is time to replace this battery.
Unclip the casing then replace the
battery.
The remote control must then be
reinitialised, see below.
Always switch off the program-
mable heating while fi lling with
fuel to avoid any risk of fi re or
explosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even
for short periods, in an enclosed
space such as a garage or work-
shop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
infl ammable surface (dry grass,
dead leaves, paper…), there is a
risk of fi re.

The programmable heating system
is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that the quantity
of fuel remaining is suffi cient. If the
fuel tank is at the reserve, we strong-
ly advise that you do not programme
the heating.


Do not discard the used
batteries, take them to an
approved collection point.

Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected
or the remote control's battery is re-
placed, the remote control must be
reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press
button 4
(OFF) for 1 second within
the next 5 seconds. If the operation
has taken place correctly the mes-
sage "OK"
is displayed on the remote
control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message
"FAIL"
appears. Repeat the operation.

In addition, your programmable
heating can be used to pre-heat
your vehicle's passenger com-
partment.
The interior volumetric protection
alarm movement sensor may be
disturbed by the fl ow of air from
the programmable heating when
it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected trigger-
ing of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is ad-
visable to deactivate the interior
volumetric protection.

SAFETY














TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)

Activation
These systems are activated auto-
matically each time the vehicle is
started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing
of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.


Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground...), it may be
advisable to deactivate the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button,
located in the middle of the dash-
board.


If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and
the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this indicates that
the ASR and ESP systems
are deactivated.
Your vehicle has a system to im-
prove traction on snow: intelligent
traction control
.
This system detects situations
of low adhesion that might make
moving off and progress diffi cult
on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow
.
In these situations the intelligent
traction control
system regulates
the amount of wheel slip to optimise
the traction and trajectory control of
your vehicle.
The anti-slip regulation (also known
as Traction Control) optimises trac-
tion to prevent skidding of the wheels,
by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme
acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to keep
the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.







Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion") For vehicles with Hydractive III +
suspension, manual adjustment of
ground clearance to the intermediate position improves further the ability
to make progress in deep snow (see
the relevant paragraph).
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on surfaces with low
adhesion.

It is recommended that these systems be reactivated as soon as possible.
