Customising the instrument
panel
Depending on version, the appearance of the
instrument panel may be customisable (colour
and display mode).
Display language and units
When travelling abroad, the speed must
be shown in the official units of the country
you are driving in (mph, miles or km/h, km).
As a safety measure, these adjustments
must be carried out with the vehicle
stationary.
Choosing a display colour
The display colour can be selected in the setting
of a profile in the Settings touch screen menu.
Depending on version, the possible choices are:
–
"Champagne" (white and champagne),
–
"Performance Line" (gold and carmine).
If the vehicle is so equipped, selecting the "Sport"
mode automatically changes the display colour of
the instrument panel (red theme).

Retrieving the servicing information
You can view the servicing information by
pressing the “Check" button in the Driving
/ Vehicle touch screen menu.
Engine coolant temperature
indicator


With the engine running:
– In z one A, the temperature is correct.
–

In z
one B, the temperature is too high; the
associated warning lamp and the central STOP
warning lamp come on in red on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the
engine.
After switching off the ignition, carefully
open the bonnet and check the coolant
level.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
AdBlue® range indicators
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with
a system that associates the SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot function
without AdBlue
® fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the reserve
level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400 and
0 km)), a warning lamp lights up when the ignition
is switched on and an estimate of the distance
that can be travelled before engine starting is
prevented is displayed in the instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is empty.
It is then no longer possible to start the engine
until the minimum level of AdBlue
® has been
topped up.
Manual display of the range
While the driving range is greater than 1,500 miles
(2,400 km), it is not displayed automatically.
You can view the range information by
pressing the "Check" button in the touch
screen’s Driving / Vehicle menu.
Actions required related to a lack of
AdBlue®
The following warning lamps light up when the
quantity of AdBlue® is lower than the reserve level
corresponding to a range of 1,500 miles (2,400
km).
Together with the warning lamps, messages
regularly remind you of the need to top up to avoid
engine starting being prevented. Refer to the
Warning and indicator lamps section for details of
the messages displayed.
For more information on AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines), and in particular on topping up,
refer to the corresponding section.

Practical information07
► Clip the stay in its housing.
►  Lower the bonnet and release it near the end
of its travel.
►  Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked
correctly.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, etc.) be limited.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the
manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine
having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended that
you check the level, and top up if necessary, every
3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►  Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull
it out completely.

For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►  Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull
it out completely.
►  Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-
free cloth.


►  Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil level:
the correct level is between marks A (max) and
B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–

abo
ve mark A: contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
–

belo
w mark B: top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine
oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine
and complies with the recommendations in
the service schedule supplied with the vehicle
(or available from your dealer and qualified
workshops).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
the contractual warranty in the event of engine
failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please
refer to the corresponding under-bonnet engine
compartment illustration.
►  Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►  Wait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►  Top up the level if necessary.
►  After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
Within 30 minutes of adding oil, the oil
level indication in the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pad
wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
