Switching the system off
► Press this button.
Its indicator lamp comes on and all other indicator
lamps for the system go off.
This action deactivates all functions of the air
conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight
flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward
movement of the vehicle.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the desired passenger
compartment temperature to be achieved more
rapidly.
►  Press this button to activate/
deactivate the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
The function is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Front demist - defrost
►  Press this button to activate/
deactivate the demisting or defrosting of
the windscreen and side windows (confirmed by
the illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
The system automatically manages the air
conditioning, air flow and air intake, and provides
optimum distribution towards the windscreen and
side windows.
Rear screen demist
- defrost
Demisting/defrosting only operates with the
engine running.
Depending on version, this also applies to the door
mirrors.
►  Press this button to activate/
deactivate the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of electrical
current.
Switch off demisting/defrosting as soon
as you no longer consider it necessary,
as reducing the consumption of electrical
current reduces fuel consumption.
Heated windscreen and
washer jets
Depending on country of sale.

This function heats the windscreen and washer
jets under cold conditions.
Without changing the settings for the air

The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►  Using 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.
►  In the event of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending
on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system is
reinitialised via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu..
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Malfunction
These warning lamps come on in
the event of a malfunction.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have the system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to
anticipate their movements before indicating
and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel
with both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the feet
close to the pedals and take a break every two
hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired through
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.),
in certain difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop; certain types
of paint could interfere with the operation of
the radar.


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked
by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a dealer or a qualified workshop
to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the
operation of the associated driving aids may
be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen or on the instrument panel
may be distorted by the relief.

Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked
by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,

to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the
operation of the associated driving aids may
be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen or on the instrument panel
may be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors as well as
the associated functions may be disturbed
by sound interference such as that emitted
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of snow
or dead leaves on the road or in the event of
damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away from
the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by the
Manufacturer may interfere with the operation
of the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure tha
t the mat is secured correctly.
–

Ne
ver fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
in the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
