the armrest after removing the reinitialised
electronic key.
If the problem persists, contact the dealer
network or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible. Lost keys, remote control, electronic
key
Go to a member of the dealer network,
taking with you the vehicle's registration
certificate, your personal identification
documents and if possible, the label
bearing the key code.
The dealer will be able to retrieve the key
code and the transponder code required to
order a new key.
The electronic key is now fully operational
again. F

P
lace the back-up key (integral with the
remote control) in the lock to unlock your
vehicle. As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system; do not operate it while
it is in your pocket as there is a possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of
your remote control out of range and out of
sight of your vehicle. You may stop it from
working and the remote control would have
to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency ser vices more difficult in an
emergency. Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system;
this


could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with an ignition switch, do
not forget to remove the key and turn the
steering to engage the steering lock.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by the dealer
network, to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones which can start
the vehicle.

ergonomic layout of the instruments and controls, carry out
these adjustments in the following order:
-
t
he height of the head restraint,
-

t
he seat backrest angle,
-
t

he seat cushion height,
-
t

he longitudinal (forwards-backwards) position of the seat,
-
t

he height of the steering wheel,
-

t

To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- o nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of unapproved mats may inter fere
with access to the pedals and hinder the
operation of the cruise control/speed
limiter.
The approved mats have two fixings
located below the seat.
Cigar lighter/12 V accessory
s o c ket (s)
F To use a 12 V accessory (max power: 120 W), remove the cigar lighter and
connect a suitable adaptor.
You can use this socket to connect a telephone
charger, a bottle warmer, etc.
After use, put the cigar lighter
back into place
straight away.
F

T

o use the cigar lighter, press it in and wait a
few seconds until it pops out automatically. The connection of an unapproved
electrical device, such as a USB charger,
may adversely affect the operation of
vehicle electrical systems, causing faults
such as poor telephone reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
USB player
This connection box comprises a USB port and
a Jack auxiliary socket.
USB port
The USB port allows the connection of a
portable device, such as an iPod®-type digital
audio player, or a USB memory stick.
The USB reader reads your audio files which
are then transferred to the audio system and
played via the vehicle’s speakers.
These files are managed via the steering wheel
controls or from the audio system.
When connected to the USB port,
the portable device can be charged
automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the portable
device exceeds the amperage supplied by
the vehicle.
The USB also allows a telephone to be
connected by a MirrorLink™ connection, so
that use can be made in the touch screen tablet
of certain applications on the telephone.
Jack auxiliary socket
The Jack auxiliary socket allows the connection
of a portable device, such as a digital audio
player, so that your audio files can be played
through the vehicle's speakers.
These files are managed from the portable
device.

Airbags
General information
This system contributes towards improving
the safety of passengers (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger) in the event of
violent collisions. The airbags supplement the
action of the seat belts fitted with force limiters
(all

except the centre rear passenger belt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i
n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
passengers,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of an airbag is
accompanied by a slight emission of
smoke and a noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the passenger's
front airbag if it is deactivated) in the event of a
serious frontal impact to all or part of the frontal
impact zone A , in the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering wheel, driver's side, or the dashboard,
passenger's side, to cushion their for ward
movement.
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe frontal
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
