represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Zoom view

The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around nearby obstacles.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.
180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking space, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It features 3 areas: left A, centre B and right C.
This view is only available via the view selection
menu.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system provides active parking assistance
for vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox: it
detects a parking space and then steers in
the appropriate direction to park in this space
while the driver controls the driving direction,
engagement of gears, acceleration and braking.
To assist the driver in monitoring the correct
manoeuvring operation, the system automatically
triggers the display of Reversing camera and the
activation of the parking sensors.
The system performs the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using ultrasonic sensors
built into the front and rear bumpers of the
vehicle.

Precautions
Electric vehicles were developed in accordance
with the guidelines on maximum electromagnetic
fields issued by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP - 1998
Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent
devices should consult a doctor to enquire
about any applicable precautionary measures, or
contact the manufacturer of their implanted
electronic medical device to check that it is
guaranteed to operate in an environment
compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.
If in doubt
Domestic or accelerated charging: do
not remain inside or near the vehicle, or near
the charging cable or charging unit, even for a
short time.
Fast charging: do not use the system yourself
and avoid approaching public fast charging
points. Leave the area and ask a third party to
recharge the vehicle.
For domestic or accelerated charging
Before charging
Depending on the context:
►  Have a professional check that the
electrical system to be used complies with
applicable standards and is compatible with
the vehicle.
►  Have a professional electrician install
a dedicated domestic power socket or
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox)
compatible with the vehicle.
Use the charging cable supplied with the
vehicle.
(During charging)
Never work under the bonnet:
– Some areas remain very hot, even an hour
after charging ends - risk of burns!
– The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts or
strangulation!

142
Practical information07
The check and top-up must only be done with the
engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to
the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN” mark, it
is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least
one hour after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the
cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an agent to prevent freezing must
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under
all circumstances (risk of freezing,
limestone deposits, etc.).
AdBlue (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is
reached.
For more information on Indicators and in
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
AdBlue tank.
For more information on AdBlue
® (BlueHDi), and
in particular on the supply of AdBlue, refer to the
corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by the
Manufacturer or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, the Manufacturer selects and
offers very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals
are correctly tightened (versions without quick
release terminals) and that the connections are
clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out only by a
dealer or by a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment and the use
of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city
driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment filter
can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate undesirable
odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the use
of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city
driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
When the particle filter is approaching
saturation, this warning lamp comes on
temporarily, accompanied by a message warning
of the risk of filter clogging.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 37 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the exhaust while
accelerating. This has no impact on the
vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).

Practical information07
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road-holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is important
to have them regularly checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
Timing and accessory kits are used from
the time the engine is started until it is
switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, the Manufacturer
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a
system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR System
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special tank
holding about 15 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km), which may
vary considerably depending on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve level
is reached: it is then possible to drive for a further
1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is empty
and the vehicle blocked.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and the associated alerts,
or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a system
required by legislation prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard: the vehicle becomes
polluting.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a dealer or a
qualified workshop. After 680 miles (1,100 km),
a device is automatically activated to prevent
the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is stopped.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped up
as soon as the first alert is issued indicating that
the reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
–

U

se only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
–

Ne

ver transfer AdBlue
® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
–

Ne

ver dilute AdBlue
® with water.
It is possible to obtain AdBlue
® from a dealer or a
qualified workshop as well as at service stations
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially designed
for passenger vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area 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 room temperature.
Never store AdBlue
® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-
flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept
in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container.

Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11 °C. Otherwise, the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and therefore cannot be
poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a warmer
area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be
carried out.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after an
AdBlue breakdown, you must wait about
5 minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver's door, unlocking
the vehicle or bringing the electronic key into
the passenger compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
►  Press the "START/STOP" button to switch off
the engine.


►  Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank a 6th of a
turn anti-clockwise and remove it.
►  With a container of AdBlue
®: after checking
the expiry date, read carefully the instructions
on the label before pouring the contents of the
container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.
►  With an AdBlue
® pump: introduce the nozzle
and fill the tank until the automatic cut-off of the
nozzle.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
Add betw
een 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue
® containers.
–
St
op after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the “Top
up AdBlue: Starting impossible” message – it is
essential to add at least 5 litres.

146
Practical information07
Do not dispose of AdBlue® containers in
the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
bought them.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle to
free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling road,
in an automatic car wash, or being transported by
