Ease of use and comfort03
In wintry conditions, before moving off, it
is essential to remove any snow or ice
from the windscreen around the camera.
Otherwise, the operation of the equipment
using the camera may be affected.
Rear screen demisting/
defrosting
This demisting/de-icing only works with the
engine running.
Depending on version, it also demists/de-ices the
door mirrors.
► Press this button to activate/
deactivate the function (confirmed by the
indicator lamp coming on/switching off).
Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of electrical
current.
Switch off demisting/defrosting when
you no longer need it; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Heated windscreen
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the area alongside the
left-hand windscreen pillar.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers.
Switching on/off
► With the engine running, press this button to
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed by an
indicator lamp).
The function is activated when the outside
temperature drops below 0°C. It is deactivated
automatically when the engine is switched off.
Temperature
pre-conditioning
(Rechargeable hybrid)
This function allows you to programme the
temperature in the passenger compartment to
reach a pre-defined, non-modifiable temperature
(approx. 21°C) before you enter the vehicle, on the
days and at the times of your choice.
This function is available when the vehicle is
connected or not connected.
Programming
In the Climate touch screen application,
select the Preconditioning tab.

Driving06
The system uses a computer and sensors, which
determine the optimal level of shock absorption
to be applied to each shock absorber.
The system is also associated with a camera,
located at the top of the windscreen, constantly
monitoring the road condition. Based on the
information transmitted by the camera, the
system anticipates possible road defects.
The operation of the system depends on the
driving mode selected (depending on equipment).
For more information on the Driving modes,
please refer to the corresponding section.

Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
► Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
► Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
► Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).
► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
The use of snow chains is only authorised
on the front wheels.
The driving mode selector must be on the 4WD
position (depending on version).
Energy economy mode
