► At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the cables
from battery A.

24v 12v
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components related
to the Stop & Start system.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by
a dealer or by a qualified workshop who will
verify that the internal components have not
been damaged and that the case has not
cracked, which would mean a risk of toxic and
corrosive acid leaking.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge
for starting the engine, it is recommended that
the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is taken
out of service for a long period. Before disconnecting the battery:
► 
Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►  Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
►  Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal

►  Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
►  Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
►  Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal

► Raise lever A fully.
►  Refit the open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
►  Push clamp B fully down.
►  Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
►  Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
Do not force the lever as locking will be
impossible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
After reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reset certain
equipment:
– Electronic key.
– Electric windows.
– Date and time.
– Preset radio stations.
After reconnection of the battery, the
“Collision risk detection system fault”
message is displayed on the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the exterior temperature and the

Towing the vehicle
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is
higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground, always use an approved towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
A professional towing service must be
called if:
–

B

roken down on a motorway or main road.
–

No
t possible to put the gearbox into neutral,
unlock the steering, or release the parking
brake.
–

No
t possible to tow a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox, with the engine running.
–

T

owing with only two wheels on the ground.
–

Four-wheel driv
e vehicle.
–

No appro
ved towbar available.
Before towing the vehicle, it is essential to
put the vehicle in free-wheeling mode.
For more information on Changing to free-
wheeling, refer to the corresponding section.
Electric motor
An electric vehicle must never be used for
road transfers.
It may be used, for example, to exit a rut.

the corresponding section.
Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage devices,
BlackBerry® devices or Apple® players via the USB
ports. The adapter cable is not supplied.
Devices are managed using the audio system
controls.
Other devices, not recognised on connection,
must be connected to the auxiliary socket using
a jack cable (not supplied) or via Bluetooth
streaming, if compatible.
To protect the system, do not use a USB
hub.
The audio system will only play audio files with
".wav", ".wma", ".aac", ".mp3", ".mp4", ".m4a",
".flac", ".ogg" file extensions and with a bit rate
of between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps (300 Kbps
maximum for ".flac" files).
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
All ".wma" files must be standard WMA 9 files.
The supported sampling rates are 11, 22, 44 and
48 KHz.
To avoid reading and display problems, we
recommend choosing file names less than 20
characters long that do not contain any special
characters (e.g. “ ? . ; ù).
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT or FAT32
format (File Allocation Table).
We recommend using the original USB
cable for the portable device.
Telephone
Pairing a Bluetooth® telephone
Up to 10 phones can be paired to the system.
Activate the Bluetooth function on the telephone
beforehand and ensure that it is "visible to all"
(telephone configuration).
To complete the pairing, whichever procedure is
used (from the telephone or from the system),
ensure that the code is the same in the system
and in the telephone.
The services available depend on the
network, the SIM card and the
compatibility of the Bluetooth devices used.
Check for services availability in the phone's
manual and with the operator.
The profiles compatible with the system
are: HFP, OPP, PBAP, DID, A2DP, AVRCP, SPP
and PAN.
Go to the Brand's website for more information
(compatibility, additional help, etc.).

–

as "

Streaming": wireless playing of audio files
on the telephone.
The system cannot be connected to
multiple telephones with the same profile.
No more than 2 phones can be connected
simultaneously (1 per profile).
The Bluetooth profiles chosen on the
phone have priority over the profiles
selected on the system.
If the pairing procedure fails, it is recommended
that you deactivate and then reactivate the
Bluetooth function on the telephone.
Depending on the type of telephone, the
option is given to accept or not accept the
transfer of contacts and the call log.

I receive a warning about a "Danger area" that is
not on my route.
As well as providing guided navigation, the
system announces all "Danger areas" positioned
in a cone located in front of the vehicle. It may
provide an alert for "Danger areas" located on
nearby or parallel roads.
►  Zoom the map to show the exact location
