Reinitialisation
If a window does not rise automatically, its operation must be reinitialised:  pull the control until the window stops,  release the control and pull it again until the window closes fully,  continue to hold the control for approximately one second after the window has closed,  press the control to lower the window automatically to the low position,  when the window has reached the low position, press the control again for approximately one second. The safety anti-pinch function is not operational during these operations.
If the window cannot be closed (for example, in the presence of ice), once the window has lowered:  press and hold the control until the window opens fully,  then pull the control immediately and hold it until the window closes,  continue to hold the control for approximately one second after the window has closed.

Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge. Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.
 Press control A until the automatic opening of the fuel flap is heard. This control remains active for a few minutes after switching off the ignition. If necessary, switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.  Take care to select the pump that delivers the correct fuel for your vehicle.
 Introduce the nozzle so as to push in the metal non-return flap B.  Make sure that the nozzle is pushed in as far as possible before star ting to refuel (risk of blowback).  Maintain this position while refuelling.  Push the fuel flap to close it. If you are filling your tank to the top, do not persist after the third cut- off; this could cause your vehicle to malfunction.
When the low fuel level in the tank is reached, this warning lamp on
the instrument panel comes on, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the screen. When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel remain in the tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out.
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.

Switching off the lighting when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the lamps switch off immediately, except for the dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home lighting is activated.
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has been switched off makes the driver's exit easier when the light is poor.
Switching on
 With the ignition off, "flash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk.  A fur ther "headlamp flash" switches the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches off automatically after a set time.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain countries, which comes on automatically when the engine is star ted making the vehicle more visible to other users.
This function is assured:
- in countries where it is imposed by regulations, by illumination of the dipped beam headlamps associated with illumination of the sidelamps and number plate lamps. - for other countries where it is provided, by illumination of dedicated lamps associated with illumination of the sidelamps and number plate lamps.
The instruments and controls (multifunction screen, air conditioning control panel, ...) are not illuminated, except in night mode with manual or automatic illumination of headlamps.
Daytime running lamps
This function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.
Switching on the lighting when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A to position A"0" - lighting off, then to the position of your choice. If the lighting is switched on manually after
switching off the ignition, there is an audible signal when a front door is opened to warn the driver that they have forgotten to switch off the vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off. They switch off automatically after a period which depends on the state of charge of the battery (entry to energy economy mode).

The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the par t of the driver, when a low level
of external light is detected or in cer tain cases of activation of the windscreen wipers. As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
Activation
 Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position. The automatic illumination of headlamps is accompanied by a message in the screen.
Deactivation

Association with the automatic lighting provides the "guide-me-home" lighting with the following additional options: - selection of the lighting duration of 15, 30 or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters
in the vehicle configuration menu, - automatic activation of "guide-me-home" lighting when automatic lillumination of headlamps is in operation.
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of the sidelamps on the traffic side only.  Within one minute of switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk up or down depending on the traffic side (for example: when parking on the left; lighting control stalk upwards; the right hand sidelamps are on). This is confirmed by an audible signal and illumination of the corresponding direction indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel. To switch off the parking lamps, return the lighting control stalk to the central position.
