This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
You must reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or more
wheels.

If the engine is in STOP mode, it restarts
immediately.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is switched
on.
Press the button to deactivate the system.
Deactivation is confirmed by illumination of the
indicator lamp in the button and the display of
a

message.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function.
The indicator lamp goes off and a
message is
displayed.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode. Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a
flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the
b utton in the ECO OFF switch flashes for a few
moments, then remains on.
Have it checked by an authorised dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
If a
fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine
may stall. All of the instrument panel warning
lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch
the ignition off and to restart the engine using
t h e key. The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must only
be carried out in the dealer network or by
a

qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V batter y
,
refer to the corresponding section.Tyre under-inflation
d
etection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.

The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before
a

long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section. Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.

I
f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a
warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
The system must be reinitialised with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary, via the
vehicle's configuration menu.

or by a qualified workshop.
Speed limiter
The system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed setting
programmed by the driver.
Once the speed limit is reached, the
accelerator pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a
programmed speed of at least
20

mph (30 km/h).

Procedure for changing a


damaged wheel with
the spare wheel using the tools provided with
the vehicle.
Access to the tools
List of tools
1. Wheelbrace.
For removing the wheel trim and the wheel
fastening bolts.
2. Jack with integrated handle.
Used to raise the vehicle.
3. "Bolt cover" tool.
For removing the bolt protectors (covers)
on alloy wheels.
4. Socket for the security bolts (located in
the glove box).
For adapting the wheelbrace to the special
"security" bolts (if your vehicle is equipped
with them).
All of these tools are specific to your
vehicle and can vary according to the level
of equipment.
Do not use them for any other purposes.
The jack should only be used to change
a
wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one
supplied with this vehicle.
If the vehicle does not have its original jack,
contact the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop to obtain the correct jack for it.
The jack meets European standards,
as defined in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.

Identification markings
Various visible markings for the identification of
your vehicle.
A.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
B. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower cross member. C.
Manufacturer's label.
It bears the following information:
-
t
he name of the manufacturer,
-

t
he European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number,
-

t
he vehicle identification number (VIN),
-

t
he gross vehicle weight (GV W)
-

t
he maximum authorised train weight
(GT W),
-

t
he maximum front axle weight,
-

t
he maximum rear axle weight.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label on the centre pillar, driver's side,
contains the following information:
-

t
he tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,
-

t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
-

t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-

t
he paint colour code.The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the passenger compartment filter.
The number is on an adhesive label, visible
through the windscreen. This tamperproof label is affixed to the centre
pillar on the driver's side.
Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30
mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a
warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
