EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/5)
Cornering lights
Depending on the vehicle, if the dipped
beam headlights are on when corner -
ing, and under certain driving condi -
tions (speed, steering wheel angle, for-
wards gear selected, etc.), additional
lights are switched on to light the inside
of the bend.
Note: under certain conditions of pro -
longed use, this system will be switched
off automatically as it is intended for
use over limited periods.
áMain beam headlights
With the dipped beam head -
lights lit, pull stalk 1 towards you.
When the main beam headlights are lit
up, an indicator light on the instrument
panel comes on.
To return to the dipped headlight posi-
tion, pull stalk 1 towards you again.
Automatic lighting with main
beam headlights
Depending on the vehicle, when you
change to main beam headlights, the
dipped beam headlight raise to improve
lighting.
Note: in the event of an operating fault
on this system, when returning from
main beam to dipped beam headlights,
the dipped beam headlight concerned
goes out and the front fog lights come
on, accompanied by the
g warning
light and a fault message on the instru-
ment panel
Warning: as this operating mode is not
a normal driving condition, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possible.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)

Driving in manual modeWith selector lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– to move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.Special circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving on
ground where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press switch 5
and operating tell-tale 6 will come
on.
Once these special driving con -
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 5
again. Operating tell-tale light 6
goes out. –
If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain -
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when accelerating.

In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.

Continue to crank the jack so that the
baseplate is correctly positioned (it
should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with jack head A).
Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off
the ground.
Changing a wheel
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur -
face where it will not slip (if neces -
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the hand brake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.

Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Depending on the vehicle, position
adapter 1 on the wheel bolt.
Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the
wheel bolts 2 . Position it so as to be
able to push from above.
Crank up jack 3 by hand to position the
jack head against jacking point 4 clos-
est to the wheel concerned and, de -
pending on the vehicle, marked by an
arrow 5.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these
nearest the valve (otherwise it may
not be possible to fit the wheel trim).
If you have a puncture, re -
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on the
central hub and turn it to locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
Tighten the bolts and lower the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the screws as fully as possible and
check the tightness as soon as possi -
ble (tightening torque 110 N.m).

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
“Emergency spare wheel” and in -
structions on “Changing a wheel” in
Section 5.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– it may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– it may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– it may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– it may affect the use of snow
chains.
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
TYRES (2/3)
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss -
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss. Always use valve
caps identical to the originals and
screw them down fully.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa -
tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af -
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
