METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and the front pas-
senger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin-
dered from leaving the vehicle.
Operating faults
This warning light 2 å will light up
on the instrument panel when the igni-
tion is switched on and then go out after
a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or comes on when the
engine is running, there is a fault in the
system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
LEVELS (1/2)
CoolantThe level is checked with the engine
switched off and on flat ground. The
level when cold must be between the
“MIN” and “MAX” marks on the coolant
reservoir 1. Top this level up when cold before the
“MINIMUM” mark is reached. Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
– protection against freezing;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Do not do any work under
the bonnet when the vehicle
is charging or when the igni-
tion is switched on.

When working in the engine
compartment, certain parts
may be hot. In addition,
the engine cooling fan can
come on at any moment.
Risk of burns or serious injury.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located in the
boot or underneath the luggage com-
partment carpet.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– unroll the hose from the container;
– connect the compressor hose 3 to
the container’s inlet 8;
– depending on the vehicle, connect the container 8 to the compressor
from the container recess 7;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rel- evant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’s inflation adapter 1;
– adapter 2 must be connected to the
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch 4 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information in the section
on “Tyre pressure”);

Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.

If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 5 will briefly indicate
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-
sure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 6.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.

TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures. The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Please refer to the information on “Tyre
pressures” in Section 4. Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are
cold, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa- tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light
 on
the instrument panel comes on. See
“Tyre pressure loss warning” in chap-
ter 2.

Once you have finished towing, press
the engine start button twice (risk of
running down the 12 V battery).
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the
base of the lever.
Simultaneously press at the loca-
tion7 and the unlocking button 6 on
the lever.
TOWING, BREAKDOWN (2/3)

In the event of an energy
fault: towing
In the event of a fully discharged trac-
tion battery:
– the warning light 2
 flashes;
– the indicator 1 shows an empty bat-
tery.
It is possible to recover on a flatbed
truck or tow the vehicle using the tow
eye, following the instructions below.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Before towing, unlock the steering
column: engage the lever 5 in position
N , insert the card in the reader 4 then
press the engine start button 3 for two
seconds.
The column is unlocked, the acces-
sory functions are supplied: the vehi-
cle lights can be used (hazard warn-
ing lights, brake lights etc.). The towed
vehicle’s lights must be switched on at
night.
The speed specified by current legis-
lation for towing must always be ob-
served.
