ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as air bags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Never start your vehicle
while freewheeling on a
gradient. Risk of non-acti-
vation of power-assisted
steering.
There is a risk of accidents.
Depending on the vehicle, if a gear is
engaged, the message “Depress clutch
+ start” is displayed on the instrument
panel. Press the clutch pedal.
Turn the key to starter position D with-
out depressing the accelerator
pedal.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/4)ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which op-
timises fuel consumption. It acts on
certain power consuming systems in
the vehicle (heating, air conditioning,
power-assisted steering, etc.) and on
certain driving actions (acceleration,
gear changing, cruise control, deceler-
ation, etc.).
Activating the function
Press switch 4.
The warning light in the 4 switch lights
up.
While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.

An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-
played to let you assess your eco driv-
ing performance. The higher the rating,
the lower the fuel consumption.
Eco advice is given to help improve
your performance.
With your favourite journeys saved, you
can evaluate your performance.
For more information, please see the
multimedia system instructions.Journey record
Once the engine is switched off, you
will see “Journey record” displayed on
the screen 3, enabling you to view in-
formation relating to your last journey.
This indicates:
– average fuel consumption;
– number of miles/kilometres travelled;
– number of miles/kilometres saved.

Bleep– If you hold the vehicle on a slope for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, you will strain
the system (risk of overheating the
clutch).
In this case, an intermittent beep- ing sound will remind you that you
should put your foot on the brake
pedal or apply the handbrake.
– Never leave the vehicle with the engine running when in gear. For
safety reasons you will hear an in-
termittent beeping sound when you
open the door if you have not shifted
into neutral or you have not switched
off the ignition or depressed the
brake pedal.
Special circumstances
On a slippery surface or surface with
little grip, change to manual mode
(A/M) and select second gear before
accelerating to avoid wheelspin.
Operating faults
i
If this warning light comes on
when the vehicle is in motion , it
indicates a fault in the system. In most
cases, you may still drive the vehicle,
although it will not function perfectly.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Towing a vehicle with a sequential
gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
– switch on the ignition;
– select neutral with the brake pedal
depressed;
– check that the gearbox is in neutral (by pushing the vehicle, for exam-
ple).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.

Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control C.Turning the control to the right in-
creases the temperature.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING SYSTEM (2/3)
Air recirculation operation
(isolation of the passenger
compartment)
Normal operation of the heating and
ventilation system is obtained using air
from outside.
Recirculation of air allows the external
atmosphere to be isolated (driving in
polluted areas, etc.).
Press button B to switch to isolation
mode. This function also allows the de-
sired comfort level to be achieved as
quickly as possible.
This starts or stops air recirculation.
Operating tell-tale lights up when the
function is operational. In this position
the air is taken from inside the passen-
ger compartment and is recycled with-
out letting air in from outside.
Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and
problems due to the use of non-
renewed air in the passenger com-
partment.
We therefore advise you to return
to normal mode (external air) as
soon as the air recirculation function
is no longer required, by pressing
button B again.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING SYSTEM (3/3)
Adjusting the amount of air
blown into the passenger
compartment
Turn control A from 0 to 4. The passenger compartment is venti-
lated by blown air.
The blower determines how much air
enters but vehicle speed also has some
influence on this.
The further the control is positioned to
the right, the greater the amount of air
blown into the passenger compartment.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
(depending on the vehicle)
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light lit) or off (indicator light off)
using button D.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
Note: the air conditioning does not op-
erate if the exterior temperature is low
or the ventilation speed is less than 1.DA

3.8
Only the temperature and the AUTO
symbol are displayed
Functions managed in automatic mode
are not displayed.
– press button 9 to increase the tem-
perature;
– press button 10 to decrease the tem-
perature.
Note: The maximum and minimum
settings of 15°C and 27°C allow the
system to produce a minimum or maxi-
mum temperature, whatever the ambi-
ent conditions.
In automatic mode (AUTO lit on the
display), all heating and air condi-
tioning functions are controlled by
the system.
When you modify certain functions,
AUTO goes out. Only the modified
function stops being controlled by
the system.
To reach and keep the chosen comfort
level and to maintain good visibility, the
system controls:
– ventilation speed;
– air distribution;
– air recirculation management;
– air conditioning start/stop;
– the air temperature.Automatic mode
Press button 3. AUTO lights up on dis-
play 4.
In most cases, the automatic climate
control system ensures a comfortable
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment, while maintaining good visibility
and optimising fuel consumption.
This is the recommended mode of
use.
