EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/3)
Cornering lights function
Whenever the dipped beam headlights
are on and under certain conditions (at
speed, the steering wheel at an angle,
in forward gear, the indicator lights on,
etc.), when taking a corner one of the
front fog lights will come on to light the
inside of the bend.
fRear fog light
Turn centre ring 4 on the stalk
until the symbol faces mark 5, then re-
lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting selected, and an in-
dicator light will light up on the instru-
ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road
users, remember to switch off the rear
fog light when it is no longer needed.
Switching off the lights
Turn ring 4 again until mark 5 is oppo-
site the symbol for the fog light you wish
to switch off. The corresponding indi-
cator light goes out on the instrument
panel.
The front and rear fog lights switch off
when the exterior lights are switched
off.
gFront fog lightsTurn centre ring 4 on the
stalk 1 until the symbol faces mark 5,
then release it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting position selected,
and an indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
When driving in fog or snow, or
when transporting objects which are
higher than the roof, the headlights
do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains
the responsibility of the driver: the
indicator lights on the instrument
panel inform you whether the fog
lights are lit (indicator light on) or not
(indicator light not on).
If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder with tailgate open, the re\
ar
lights may be obscured. You should make other road users aware of your
vehicle by using a warning triangle or other equipment specified by the \
road traffic regulations of the country you are driving in.

éHazard warning lights
Press switch 2.
This switch activates all four direction
indicators and the side indicator lights
simultaneously. It must only be used in
an emergency to warn drivers of other
vehicles that you have had to stop in
an area where stopping is prohibited or
unexpected, or that you are obliged to
drive under special conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on auto-
matically under heavy deceleration.
You can switch them off by pressing
switch 2 once.
Direction indicators

wheel and in the direction you are going
to turn it.

In this case, move the stick 1 to half-
way, then release it: the stalk returns to
its original point and the indicator light
flashes three times.

Vehicles with automatic wiper
function
With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turning
ring 2:
– E: minimum sensitivity
– F: maximum sensitivity
NB: in foggy weather or during
snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-
cally triggered and remains under
the driver’s control.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.
Special note
When driving,
the wiping speed slows
down whenever the vehicle stops. The
speed will change from fast wiping
speed to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected. If stalk 1 is operated, it over-
rides and cancels the automatic func-
tion.
With the ignition on,
move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.
The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps. It is
possible to change the time be-
tween sweeps by turning ring 2.

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure
they are not stuck to the windscreen
(including the central area located
behind the interior rear-view mirror)
and the rear screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheat-
ing).
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their

– they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.
Note:
There is a maintenance position for re-
placing wiper blades.
With the ignition on and the engine
off, lower windscreen wiper stalk 1 fully
(position D). Wiper arms stop in a po-
sition away from the bonnet (please

Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle
and insert it fully before turning it on to
fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through-
out the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The cover A and its
surround must remain clean.
FUEL TANK (2/3)
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and

To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

If you notice a persistent
fuel odour you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf- fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
