Sidelamps only.
Dipped or main beam headlamps.
Headlamp dipping
Pull the stalk towards you to switch between
dipped and main beam headlamps.
When the lighting is off or only the sidelamps
are on, the driver can directly switch on the
main beam headlamps (headlamp flash) for as
long as the lever is kept pulled.
Displays
Illumination of the corresponding indicator
lamp in the instrument panel confirms that the
lighting selected is on.
Foglamps
The instrument panel is permanently back-lit.
The instrument panel lighting therefore has no
relationship to the vehicle lamps.
They operate when the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on.Front foglamps and rear foglamp.

foglamps, the sidelamps will then switch off.
In good or rainy weather, both day and
night, using the front foglamps and the
rear foglamp is prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers.
Do not forget to turn off the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp as soon as they are
no longer necessary.
When lighting is left on
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off automatically, except when
automatic guide-me-home lighting is
activated.

off, an audible signal when a
front door is
opened warns the driver that the vehicle's
exterior lighting is still on, with the ignition

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBD)It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
When lit up continuously, this
warning lamp indicates a
fault with
the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message, this indicates a fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS system may
be indicated by slight vibration felt at the
brake pedal. In case of emergency braking, press
ver y hard without releasing the
pressure at all.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of
a
problem with grip or trajectory.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,
mud, etc.), if you are unable to move off, it
may be useful to temporarily deactivate these
systems so that the wheels can spin and allow
the vehicle to regain grip.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked in the
dealer network or by a

qualified workshop as
soon as possible.

engine
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised to enable
engine start.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a


moment after
the ignition is switched off, and prevents
unauthorised engine starting.
In the event of a
fault, you are
informed by the illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a
message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
the dealer network as soon as possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you
when you purchased your vehicle.
Ignition switch
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reser ve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preser ve the remaining
battery charge.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a


malfunction.

Wait until this warning lamp goes off
in the instrument panel then operate
the starter motor by turning the key
to position 3 without pressing the
accelerator pedal until the engine
starts. Once the engine is running,
release the key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can
stay on for a
longer period. If the engine is
hot, the warning lamp does not come on.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition. Wait a
few moments
before operating the starter motor again.
If the engine does not start after several
attempts, do not keep trying: you risk
damaging the starter motor or the engine.
Contact the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop.
In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed. Never run the engine in an enclosed
space without sufficient ventilation:
internal combustion engines give out toxic
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
There is a danger of poisoning and
death. In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C) and to ensure
proper operation and longevity of the
mechanical parts of your vehicle, engine
and gearbox, you must let the engine run
for 4
minutes before starting the vehicle.

When you leave the vehicle, keep the key
with you and lock the vehicle.
