warning lamps flash, accompanied by an audible
signal for approximately two minutes. After this
time, these warning lamps remain on as long as
the seatbelts are not refastened.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must
always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they will
not fulfil their role properly.
To ensure the proper functioning of the belt
buckles, make sure that there are no foreign
bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the
seat belt may require the seat height to be
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
– be tigh tened as close to the body as
possible.
–

be pulled in fron
t of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–

must only be used t
o secure one person.
–

no
t show signs of tearing or fraying.
–

no
t be changed or modified, in order to avoid
affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's seat
belts, contact a qualified workshop with the
skills and equipment needed, which a dealer is
able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if
the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by dealers.
Airbags
General information
This system is designed to improve the safety
of the occupants of the front seats and the rear
outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The
airbags supplement the action of the seat belts
equipped with a force limiting system.
Electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in the impact
detection zones:
–

In the e
vent of violent impact, the airbags
deploy instantly and help better protect the
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not
to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the
occupants.
–

In the e
vent of a slight impact, a rear impact
and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect
you in these situations.
The seriousness of the impact depends on the
nature of the obstacle and the speed of the
vehicle at the moment of collision.
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.

Safety05
An incorrectly installed child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's safety in
the event of an accident.
Strictly observe the fitting instructions
provided in the user guide supplied with the
child seat.
For information about the options for
fitting ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle,
refer to the summary table.
Recommended ISOFIX child seats
Also consult the user guide from the child
seat’s manufacturer to find out how to
install and remove the seat.

► Do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10%
per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower air
density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle
and the nose weight (at the point where it joins
your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted
without exceeding it.
Tyres
►  Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle
and of the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
►  Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine towing device is used, the
rear parking sensors will be deactivated
automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►  Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit the amount of heating produced.
►  Pay constant attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain a code, which must be
recognised by the vehicle before starting is
possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a dealer.
Starting/switching off the
engine
The electronic key must be present in the
passenger compartment.
If the electronic key is not detected, a message
is displayed.

Driving06
This is a normal behavior indicating that a
condition is not fulfilled and which does not
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the system
via the driving aids touch screen application is
recommended, for instance:
–

T
owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without
its own braking system).
–

Carrying long objects on roo
f bars.
–

D
riving with snow chains.
–

U
sing an automatic car wash.
–

Performing an
y maintenance (e.g. changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
–

Placing the v
ehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–

T
owing the vehicle.
–

Follo
wing an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated
once the use of a different diameter
"space-saver" type spare wheel is detected, or
if a fault with the two lateral brake lamps is
detected.
The system diagnoses permanently its
capability and may inhibit itself without
specific driver indication, if the system is
outside of the regular operating conditions
(e.g. sensor initialization, board voltage out of
regular range, activation of stability system).
Therefore, the system may not be available
just after starting the vehicle.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle
(keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
Following an impact (e.g.  a collision), the
system is automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
The trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
►  Select one of the 3 preset
thresholds: "Far ", "Medium" or "Near".
The selected threshold is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen
by the driver, different levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the difference speed of the own vehicle
and the object identified for the collision risk, and
the operation of the vehicle (e.g. actions on the
pedals, steering wheel) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3: a micro-braking may be given, confirming
the risk of collision (optional).
While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically at
lower speed.

Practical information07
As soon as you release the handle, it is engaged
automatically in its storage case.
Usage position
Towball unlocked:

►  Grasp the towball and rotate it while raising it
until it locks into place, in the vertical position.
The towball must be folded away when
using a high-pressure washer.
Do not direct the jet from less than 30 cm from
the towing system.


►  Raise the electrical socket cover and connect
the plug for the trailer or carrying device.
►  Attach the trailer’s safety cable to the ring in
the towball elbow.
Storage position
When the towing system is not in use, it is
recommended to fold the towball away.

the vehicle could be worse with the towball in
place.
Towball unlocked and socket disconnected:


►  Grasp the towball and rotate it until it locks
into place, in the horizontal position.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop for any
work on the towing system.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the
vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
