STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/2)
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 switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as airbags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS (1/2)
Press the window switch down or lift it
up to lower or raise the window to the
desired height.

One-touch mode
Depending on the vehicle, this mode
works in addition to the operation of the
electric windows described previously.
It can be fitted to the driver’s window.
Briefly press or pull the switch 1 as far
as it will go: the window will wind down
or up fully. Pressing the switch again
stops the window moving.
Note: if the driver’s window detects re-
sistance when closing (e.g. tree branch,
etc.), it stops and then lowers again by
a few centimetres.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.
These systems operate with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or remote con-
trol in it, leaving a child,
adult who is not self-sufficient or a
pet inside, even for a short while.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine
or activating equipment (such as
the gear lever or electric windows).
If any part of the body becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of the
window immediately by pressing the
relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.

ately after it has rained or immedi-
ately after washing the vehicle.
– vehicle with roof bars: Generally, it is not advisable to oper-
ate the sunroof.
Before using the sunroof, check the
objects and/or accessories (bike
racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to
the roof bars: they should be prop-
erly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the opera-
tion of the sunroof.
Contact an authorised dealer for de-
tails of possible conversions.
Operating faults

an authorised dealer.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the key in the ignition
and leaving a child, an adult
who is not self-sufficient or a pet
inside, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
If something gets caught, immedi-
ately reverse the direction of travel
by pressing the switch 1 on side
\.
