ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to 
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) 
while in use, and therefore to consume 
less fuel (e.g. 170 g/km, equivalent to 
6.4 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Vehicles are also fitted with anti-pollu-
tion systems such as a catalytic con-
verter, an oxygen sensor, and more.
For certain diesel vehicles, this system 
also has a particle filter to reduce the 
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own 
contribution towards 
protecting the environment 
too
–  Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or 
filled with used oil) must be disposed 
of through specialist organisations. –  At the end of the vehicle’s service 
life, it should be sent to approved 
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
–  In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of 
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled. 
The materials and structures have 
been carefully designed to allow these 
components to be easily removed and 
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable 
or animal-derived materials such as 
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with 
respect for the environment in mind for 
its entire service life: during production, 
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of 
the manufacturer eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at 
a factory which complies with a policy 
to reduce the environmental impact 
on the surrounding areas (reduction of 
water and energy consumption, visual 
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste).

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
1
When fitted to the vehicle, this system 
notifies the driver if one or more tyres 
lose pressure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency 
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures 
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light 
 1  comes on to 
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.).
Resetting the standard level 
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
–  when the standard tyre pressure  needs to be changed to adapt to 
usage conditions (empty, carrying a 
load, motorway driving, etc.);
–  after swapping a wheel (however  this practice is not recommended);
–  after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking 
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when 
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the 
current usage of the vehicle (empty, 
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does 
not take the place of the 
driver. It cannot, therefore, under 
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the 
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including 
the emergency spare wheel, once a 
month.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/3)
« CHECK TYRE PRESSURE 
SENSORS »
The warning light 
 flashes for 
several seconds, then stays on, along 
with the message “CHECK TYRE 
PRESSURE SENSORS”.
This message appears along with  the 
© warning light.
They indicate that at least one tyre is 
not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency 
spare wheel). Otherwise, consult an 
authorised dealer.
Readjustment of tyre 
pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted 
when cold  (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked 
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures must be increased 
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.). 
Please see the information on “Tyres” 
in Section 5.
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new 
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system 
and available from your dealer net-
work: the use of any other accessory 
could affect the correct operation of the 
system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer- -
gency spare wheel, it will not have a 
sensor. When it is fitted on the vehicle, 
the warning light 
 flashes for sev-
eral seconds, then stays on, together 
with the warning light 
© and the 
message “CHECK TYRE PRESSURE 
SENSORS” appears on the instrument 
panel.
Tyre repair product and 
inflation kit
Because the valves are specially de-
signed, only use equipment approved 
by the approved network. Please refer 
to “Tyre inflation kit” in Section 5.
Changing a wheel
The system may take sev-
eral minutes depending on 
use for the new wheel pres-
sures to be recognised; check the 
tyre pressures after all operations.

Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and 
warning light 
© and  appear 
on the instrument panel. In this case, 
the ESC and traction control system 
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Electronic stability program 
(ESC) with understeer control 
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control 
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip 
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects 
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle 
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to 
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and 
corrects the trajectory if necessary by 
controlling the braking of certain wheels 
and/or engine power. In the event that 
the system is engaged, indicator light 
 flashes on the instrument panel.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the 
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of 
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or 
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system 
measures and compares the speed of 
the drive wheels at all times and slows 
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is 
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip 
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine 
speed to the grip available under the 
wheels, independently of the pressure 
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of 
critical driving conditions, 
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving 
conditions.
The functions do not take the place 
of the driver. They do not increase 
the vehicle’s limits and should 
not encourage you to drive more 
quickly.   Therefore, they can under 
no circumstances replace the vigi-
lance or responsibility of the driver 
when manoeuvring the vehicle (the 
driver must always be ready for 
sudden incidents which may occur 
when driving).

2.35
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the 
rear bumper (depending on the vehi-
cle), measure the distance between the 
vehicle and an obstacle whilst revers-
ing.
This measurement is indicated by 
beeps which become more frequent the 
closer you come to the obstacle, until 
they become a continuous beep when 
the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
When reverse gear is selected, most 
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the 
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds 
and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 1 shows the area around the ve-
hicle.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
1
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he 
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: al\
ways 
ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a chil\
d, animal, 
pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while 
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or 
other street furniture) may result in 
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have 
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic 
sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, 
snow, etc.).

OPERATING FAULTS (7/7)
Electrical equipmentPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Traces of condensation in the lights. Traces of condensation may be a nat- ural phenomenon caused by varia-
tions in temperature.
In this case, the traces will disappear 
slowly once the lights are switched 
on.
The front seat belt reminder light 
comes on when the seat belts are 
fastened. An object is stuck between the floor 
and the seat and is disrupting the op-
eration of the sensor. Remove all objects from underneath the 
front seats.
