2.44
The self-locking differential controls the
torque transmitted to each rear wheel.
Depending on the grip conditions on
the road surface, and at low speeds
(under 20 mph/30 kph), this device en-
ables wheel torque to move automati-
cally, thereby providing increased grip.
This enables the grip potential of each
wheel to be used to the fullest possi-
ble extent, thereby enabling the vehicle
to run over areas with decreased grip
(e.g.: work sites, muddy ground, etc.).
Once the rear wheels return to surfaces
with normal grip (eg: return to paved
roads), the self-locking differential
device will be deactivated, sometimes
accompanied by a noise (with no con-
sequence to vehicle behaviour). You
have the option of turning this device
off yourself, once normal grip condi-
tions have resumed, by briefly releas-
ing the accelerator
SELF-LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, it does not in-
crease the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
It cannot, therefore, under any cir-
cumstances replace the vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.

INTERIOR LIGHTING
12
Courtesy light
Use switch 1 to:
– permanent lighting;
– intermittent lighting, which comes on when a door is opened. It goes out
when the doors concerned are prop-
erly closed;
– immediate switching off.
Map reading lights(depending on the vehicle)
Move switch 2.
Note
Remote unlocking of the doors triggers
timed lighting of the passenger com-
partment.
If one of the front or rear doors is
opened, the timed lighting will start
again.
Then the courtesy light and the luggage
compartment light dim and go out. The
lighting timer will cut out for various rea-
sons:
– if a door has been open for 15 min- utes;
– if all the doors have been closed for 15 seconds:
– when the ignition is switched on.
Rear light 3
Turn switch 4 to:
– switch on continuous lighting;
– switch on intermittent lighting when one of the rear doors is opened. The
lights only go out when the doors are
correctly closed;
– force the lights off.

Note: make sure the tray is put back in
place correctly before lifting the back of
the centre seat. Check that the back of
the centre seat is properly locked.
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT STORAGE, FITTINGS (5/6)
Tray
On equipped vehicles, lower the back
of the centre seat by lifting control 31.
The back of the centre seat has the fol-
lowing features:
– a tray 28 which can be turned only to
the driver’s side (depending on the
vehicle);
– a cup holder 30;
– storage compartment 29.
When turning corners,
accelerating or braking,
ensure that the recepta-
cle being held by the cup
holder is not dislodged.
There is a risk of burning if hot liquid
escapes.
It is forbidden to sit in the
centre seat if its seatback is
folded down.
Ensure that no hard, heavy
or pointed objects are
placed in the open storage
compartments in such a
way that they may fall on any pas-
sengers during sudden turning,
braking or in the event of an acci-
dent.
Ensure that nothing is obstructing
the operation of the folding tray.

REAR BENCH SEATS (2/2)
When moving the rear
bench seat, check that
the bench seat anchor-
age points are clean (they
should be free from grit, cloths or
any other item which may prevent
the bench seat from locking se-
curely).
Refitting the rear bench seat
– Position the guides 4 on the rails set
back in relation to the anchorage
points;
– slide the bench seat forwards.
The bench seat will lock automatically.
Check that the red spigots 3 can no
longer be seen.
The rear bench seats must
be placed on their original
anchorage points.
Driving with the bench seat
in a rear-facing position is prohib-
ited.

Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that
it may be hot. In addition,
the engine cooling fan may
start at any moment. The

warning light in the engine compart-
ment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off (please see

Closing the bonnet
Ensure that the windscreen wiper
blades are correctly positioned.
Place stay 4 back into its holders 5 ,
hold the bonnet in the middle and lower
it to about 20 cm above the closed po-
sition, then release it. It will latch auto-
matically under its own weight.
Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Check that nothing is pre-
venting the catch from lock-
ing (gravel, cloth, etc.).
Opening the bonnet
Lift the bonnet and release stay 4 from
its holders 5. For your own safety, it is
essential to fix the stay into retainer 3
in the bonnet.
After any procedure in the
engine compartment, make
sure that you do not forget
anything (cloth, tools, etc.).
Otherwise, this may lead to engine
damage or cause a fire.

4.17
Glass instrument panel(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display, etc.)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean them properly,
use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly
moistened with soapy water and then
wipe clean with another soft damp cloth
or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Do not use products containing alco-
hol and/or spray fluids on the area.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use
cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow-
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.

5.2
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/2)
On equipped vehicles, this is located
underneath the chassis.
If the emergency spare
wheel has been stored
for several years, have it
checked by your dealer to
ensure that it is safe to use.
In some cases (puncture at the rear,
vehicle with towing equipment, etc.)
it may be necessary to lift the vehi-
cle beforehand (via the lifting point
closest to the affected wheel) to pro-
vide access to the emergency spare
wheel (please refer to the informa-
tion on “changing a wheel: vehicle
with standard wheels” in Section 5).

To remove the emergency spare
wheel
– Insert the end of the unlocking key 3
extended (depending on the vehicle)
by the hexagonal extension piece 5
and the wheelbrace 6 in location 1
or 4 (the use of other tools could
damage the mechanism);
– lower the emergency spare wheel fully;
– unclip the component 2 on the wheel
rim;
– thread the component 2 through the
wheel rim (as shown in A) to release
the wheel.

5.4
TOOL KIT
Location of the tool kit
Tool kit 1 is located under the driver’s
seat.
To remove the tools, move the seat
forward and fold down the seatback
(please refer to the information on the
“Front seats” in Section 1).
Contents of the tool kit(depending on the vehicle)
– hydraulic jack 2;
– towing hitch 3;
– hubcap tool 4;
1
Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come
loose under braking. After use, check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctly in its housing: ri\
sk of
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, you must only use these bol\
ts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances
should it be used for carrying out repairs underneath the vehicle or to \
gain access
to the underside of the vehicle.
Nothing should be placed
on the floor area in front of
the driver as such objects
may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.
