Limit the causes of excess
consumption
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a member
of the dealer network or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.

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.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a
message displayed on the screen.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a
simple visual check. F
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
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and if necessary
put wheel chocks against the wheels to
prevent your vehicle from sliding.
F
F

provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few seconds,
without exceeding 30
mph (50 km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a
level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
PERFORMANCE tyres
Use in winter conditions
Original 205/40 R18 tyres are not suitable for
u se in severe winter weather. We recommend
that you use appropriate winter tyres during
very cold periods.

Bottles or containers are available from the
dealer network or a qualified workshop.
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers be stored in a
cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a
year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once
it has completely thawed out at ambient
temperature.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a
container provided for
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
Procedure
Before topping up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.

Advice on care and
maintenance
Recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Textured paint
Textured paint reacts to light with variations of
appearance and finish that emphasise the car's
lines and form. This paint coating has particles
that remain visible and create a unique satin
relief effect. Its lightly granulated texture gives
it a
surprising feel. Observe the following recommendations
to avoid damaging the paint finish:
-
c
hoose a high pressure wash, or at
least a high water delivery; roller brush
washing is compatible.
-
g
ently wipe the body with a clean
microfibre cloth.
-
c
arefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the
body using a soft cloth, then allow to
d r y.
-
c
lean off minor marks (for example,
finger marks), using the product in the
"TECHNATURE" range intended for
removing insects.
H o w eve r,
-
d
o not select the programme with hot
wax finish.
-
d
o not use waterless cleaning.
-
n
ever polish the vehicle.
-
d
o not use paint restorers, abrasive
or polishing products, or bright paint
preser vers (wax polish, for example).
It is always preferable to have paint
repairs carried out in the dealer network or
by a
qualified workshop.

Do not drive more than 120
miles (200 km)
with a
temporarily repaired tyre; see your
dealer or a
qualified workshop to change
the tyre.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.

On vehicles equipped with body sill
mouldings, the location of the jack
contact area is indicated by a mark on the
moulding. It is essential that the jack be
placed in line with this mark, in the jack
contact area, located behind the moulding
and not on the plastic moulding.
F
E

ise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
then allow the spare (not punctured) wheel
to fit easily. Stowing the damaged wheel
The damaged wheel can be stowed under
the floor, in the standard spare wheel
housing.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the
hub cap from the middle of the wheel so
that the fastening device (nut and bolt) can
be put in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type spare
wheel, the damaged wheel cannot be
stowed under the floor. It must be stowed
in the boot; use a
cover to protect the
inside of the boot.

Fitting the "space-saver " spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the "space-saver"
spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
After changing a
wheel
Do not exceed 50
mph (80 km/h) when
driving with the "space-saver" type spare
wheel fitted.
Visit the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured wheel checked. After
inspection, the technician will let you know
if the tyre can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.List of operations
