Operating faults
The steering may become stiff when
driving or when the steering wheel is
turned repeatedly. This is due to the
power assistance overheating. In this
case, it must be allowed to cool down.power-assisted steering
Variable power-assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).

STEERING WHEEL/pOWER-ASSISTED STEERING
Never leave the steering wheel at
full lock while stationary.
Never switch off the igni -
tion when travelling down -
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.
Adjusting the steering wheel
Depending on the vehicle, the steering
wheel position is adjustable.
Hold the steering wheel with one hand,
lift lever 1 and position the steering
wheel as desired. Lower the lever to
lock the steering wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.

indicator
As ice formation is related
to climatic exposure, local
air humidity and temperature, the
external temperature alone is not
sufficient to detect ice.

With the ignition on, the clock and the
exterior temperature are displayed.
For your safety, we recom -
mend that you do not adjust
the clock while driving.

If the power supply is cut (battery
disconnected, supply wire cut, etc.),
the clock must be reset.
We recommend that you do not
adjust these settings while driving.
External temperature
indicator
Special note:
When the external temperature is be -
tween –3°C and +3°C, the °C charac -
ters flash (indicates risk of ice forma -
tion).
Resetting the clock
With the ignition on, press button:
1 for the hours;

Note: for vehicles not fitted with but -
tons 1 and 2 , refer to the instructions
for the specific equipment (radio, etc.)
to discover the special features.

Starting the engine
Engine warm or cold:
– Turn the ignition key to “Start” posi-
tion D without accelerating;
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Special note: if starting the engine
when the outdoor temperature is very
low (below - 10 ° C): hold down the
clutch pedal until the engine starts.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or remote con-
trol inside the vehicle and
never leave a child (or a pet) unsu-
pervised, even for a short while.
There is a risk that they could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely . Once the engine has
stopped, the brake servo, pow -
erassisted steering, etc., and the
passive safety devices such as
air bags and pretensioners will no
longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key
is removed.

In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu -
late the force applied in the braking
system.
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.
However, 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 vigilance or responsibil -
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– the (A bS) (anti-lock braking
system);
– the electronic stability program
(ESP) with understeer control and
traction control (ASR);
– emergency brake assist. operating faults:
–
If the
x and © indicator
lights on the instrument panel come
on, braking is still operational but
without AbS;
– If the
x, ®, © and
D indicator lights on the instru -
ment panel come on when driving,
this indicates a fault with the braking
and AbS systems.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
AbS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi -
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par -
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).

Rotating hard roof
Rotating HaRD RooF: conditions of use
Conditions of use
Immobilise the vehicle on a flat, level
surface (never with the wheel on the
pavement).
Apply the handbrake.
Temperature above -10°C.
Perform the operation with the engine
running if possible (risk of discharging
the battery).
To prevent the system from overheat -
ing, it cuts out automatically. It becomes
operational again after a maximum of
30 minutes.
When opening or clos -
ing the roof, ensure that
nothing interferes with the
moving parts (roof and roof
cover).
Do not drive with the roof unlocked.
Do not open or close the roof if the
wind speed is more than 20 mph
(30 km/h) (risk of damage to the
roof).
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or remote con-
trol inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
He/she may be able to operate the
rotating hard roof and there is a risk
of trapping his/her neck, arm, hand,
etc., which could cause serious in -
juries.
If anything is trapped, reverse the
rotating hard roof’s direction of
travel immediately by pressing the
opposite side of the roof open/close
button.
Never unlock the roof while
driving.
Risk of damage to the roof
and roof cover.
operating the roof
Before opening/closing the roof, check
that there is sufficient space above the
vehicle to allow it to open.
Minimum height required A: 2.05 m.
