ON-BOARD COMPUTER: trip settings (4/6)
The display of information shown below DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT \
AND COUNTRY.
Examples of selectionsInterpreting the display selected
On-board computer with distance before
next service message (cntd.)
c) Mileage before service or oil change.Mileage before service
With the ignition switched on and the engine not running ,
and the selected display is “Mileage before service”, press
button 2 or 3 for about 5 seconds to display the mileage before
the next service, then briefly press button 2 or 3 to view the
mileage before the next oil change (distance or time remaining
before the next service). When the range approaches its limit,
there are several possible scenarios:
– distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or
one month : the message “Service due in” is displayed ac-
companied by the nearest term (distance or time);
– range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the
message “service vehicle” is displayed accompanied by the
© warning light.
The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.
SERVICE
INTERVALS
Oil change in
30 000 Kms / 24 mo.
Service due in
300 Kms / 24 days
Service required
Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies accord\
ing to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed ,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can
therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance t\
ravelled.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before the next service, press and hold button 2 or 3 for approximately 10 seconds until the
display shows the mileage before service without flashing.
NB: if a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mi\
leage before the next service should be reset. In the
event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and th\
e next oil change should be reset.

Special note:
– If the dipped beam headlights are manually switched on and if the light
is sufficient, the directional head-
lights will remain fixed;
– If the lights come on automatically when cornering, the directional
headlights will start working from the
next time the vehicle corners;
– When the dipped beam headlights are switched on with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary,
the lights move to reinitialise them-
selves. If not, there is a system fault.
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 2 to position 0;
– automatically, the lights will go out when the engine is switched off, the
driver’s door is opened or the vehicle
is locked. In this case, the next time
the engine is started the lights will be
switched back on according to the
position of the ring 2.
NB: if the fog lights are lit, the lights are
not switched off automatically.
“See-me-home lighting”
function
This function allows you to briefly switch
on the dipped beam headlights (to pro-
vide light when opening a gate, etc.).
With the engine and lights off and
the ring 2 in the position 0, pull stalk 1
towards you: the dipped beam head-
lights come on for approximately thirty
seconds. To increase this duration, you
may pull the stalk up to four times (total
time restricted to two minutes). The
message “See-me-home” along with
the times the lights will be on for is dis-
played on the instrument panel to con-
firm this action.
To switch off the lights before they go
out automatically, turn ring 2 to any po-
sition, then return it to position 0.
Directional headlights
Depending on the vehicle, with the
dipped beam headlights on and under
certain conditions (speed, steering
wheel angle, forwards gear selected,
etc.) when cornering, the dipped beam
headlights move to light the inside of
the bend.
Operating faults
Depending on the vehicle, when the
message “Check lighting” appears on
the instrument panel along with the
© warning light, this indicates that
there is a lighting fault.
Consult an approved dealer.

Headlight washers
Headlights on
On equipped vehicles, hold stalk 1
pulled towards you for about 1 second,
and the headlight washers and winds-
creen washers will be activated at the
same time.
Note:
To ensure the headlight washers ope-
rate correctly in winter, remove snow
from the jet trims and de-ice the jet
trims using an aerosol de-icer.
You are recommended to regularly
remove dirt encrusted on the headlight
glass.
When the minimum windscreen washer
fluid level is reached, the headlight
washer system may be deprimed.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid and
then activate the windscreen washer,
with the engine running , to reprime
the system.
Before any action on the
windscreen (washing the
vehicle, de-icing, cleaning
the windscreen, etc.) return
stalk 1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
Windscreen washer
With the ignition on , pull stalk 1 then
release.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the winds-
creen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers followed, a few seconds
later, by a fourth, in addition to the
windscreen washer.
Note:
In temperatures below zero, the washer
liquid risks freezing to the windscreen,
thereby reducing visibility. Heat the
windscreen using the demister control
before cleaning.
WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (5/5)

When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position A (park).
Risk of injury.
In the event of obstacles present
on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,
etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-
ding the central area located behind
the interior rear-view mirror) and
the rear screen before starting the
wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overheat and thus reduce its
efficiency, or damage it irreparably
and cause heat damage to the vehi-
cle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
keep trying to start the engine, but con-
tact an approved Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.
