Time
The time is also displayed when the ignition is switched off. The clock can be
set with the right-hand rotating button below the rev counter “digital clock”.
min - Journey duration
The display shows the amount of time which has elapsed since the ignition
was switched on.
The maximum display value in both me mories is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
The memory will automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
Ø km/h - Average speed
The average speed will be shown after a distance of approximately 100
metres has been travelled. Dashes will appear in the display until that time.
The display will be updated every 5 seconds whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Miles - Distance travelled
The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 9999 miles. The memory will
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
Miles - Fuel range
The fuel range is calculated using the fi gures for tank content and current fuel
consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same condi-
tions as a reference.
Ø litre/100km - Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption will be shown ⇒page 56, fig. 38 after a
distance of approximately 100 metres has been travelled. Dashes will appear
in the display until that time. The display will be updated every 5 seconds
whilst the vehicle is in motion. The amount of fuel used will not be shown.
ltr/100km or ltr/hr - Current fuel consumption
The display will show the current fuel consumption in litre/km whilst the
vehicle is in motion or in litre/hour when the vehicle is in a stationary position
with the engine running.
Using this display you can see how your driving style affects fuel consump-
tion ⇒page 160.
Ambient temperature display
The measurement margin extends from -45°C to +58°C. At temperatures
lower than +4°C, an “ice crystal symbol” is displayed and a “warning” sounds
if the vehicle is moving at more than 10 km/h (ice warning). This symbol will
flash for about 10 seconds and remains lit until the exterior temperature rises
above +4°C or 6°C if it was already lit.
WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface even if the “snowflake symbol”
is not shown. You should, for this reason, not rely exclusively on this
display - Risk of accident!

64Coolant temperature too high
First look at the coolant temperature gauge. The coolant temperature is too
high if the needle is over the warning area on the dial. Stop the vehicle,
switch off the engine and wait for it to cool down. Check the coolant level.
If the coolant level is correct, the overheating may be caused by a malfunction
of the radiator fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and have it replaced if neces-
sary ⇒page 213.
If the warning lamp lights up again after driving on for a short distance, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine. Contact an Authorised Service Centre
or a qualified workshop.
Coolant level too low
First look at the coolant temperature gauge. If the needle is in the normal
range, top up with coolant at the earliest opportunity ⇒.

Tips and Maintenance
Te c h n i c a l D a t a
The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way (except that the ABS control
function will not function). Please take
the vehicle to a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. For further information on the ABS see the ⇒page 148.
If a fault occurs in the ABS, the ESP* warning lamp will also light up.
Brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp
lights up together with the brake warning lamp
, this indicates not only a fault in the ABS function, but also a possible fault
in the brake system ⇒.
WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet, read and observe the warnings on
⇒ page 180, “Working in the engine compartment”.
•
If the brake warning lamp
should light up together with the ABS
warning lamp
, stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir ⇒page 192, “Brake fluid”. If the fluid level has
dropped below the “MIN” mark you must not drive on. Risk of accident.
Obtain technical assistance.
•
If the brake fluid level is correct, the fault in the brake system may have
been caused by a failure of the ABS system. This could cause the rear
wheels to lock quickly when you brake. This could cause the rear to break
away. Risk of skidding. Stop the vehicle and seek technical assistance.
Brake system* / handbrake
The warning lamp lights up if the handbrake is applied, if the
brake fluid level falls too low or if there is a fault in the brake
system.

driving, the brake fluid level ⇒page 192, “Brake fluid” in the reservoir is
too low. Risk of accident. Stop the vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain tech-
nical assistance.
•
If the brake warning lamp
lights up together with the ABS warning
lamp
, the control function of the ABS could be out of action. This could
cause the rear wheels to lock quickly when you brake. This could cause the
rear to break away. Risk of skidding. Stop the vehicle and seek technical
assistance.

70Unlocking and lockingDoorsLocking and unlocking the vehicle
From the outside of the vehicle, the driver's door may be
locked or unlocked using the key.When opened , the latch will rise up (for vehicles without central locking)
For vehicles equipped with electric windows and central locking, if the key is
maintained in the opening position all of the electric side windows will open.
When locking the latch will descend (for vehicles without central locking)
In some vehicle models equipped with electric windows and central locking,
if the key is maintained in the locking position on the driver side, any side
windows left open, as well as the electric sunroof, will close.
For vehicles without central locking, the passenger door and the rear doors
may be locked from the outside without using a key. Just press the button
down and close the door.
The latch on the driver’s door may not be pushed down while the door is open
(only in vehicles without central locking) . This avoids accidentally leaving the
keys in the ignition.
From inside all the doors may be locked by pushing the security buttons down
(in vehicles withou t central locking).
WARNING

- Auto-locking to prevent involuntary unlocking
- Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*
- Emergency unlocking system
Note
For anti-theft security, only the driver's door is fitted with a lock cylinder.Safety system “Safe”
This is an anti-theft device consisting of a double lock for the
door locks and a deactivation func
tion for the boot in order to
make forced entry more difficult.Activation
The “safe” system is activated when the vehicle is locked using the key or the
remote control.
To activate this system with the key, rotate the key once in the door lock
cylinder in the locking direction.
To activate the system using the remote control, press the lock button on the
remote once.
When this system is activated, it is not possible to open the doors normally,
from the outside or the inside. The boot/tailgate may not be opened. The
central locking button does not work.
Voluntary deactivation
The “Safe” system can be deactivated voluntarily by the user.
This is done by locking two times in quick succession (in under 2 seconds).
This double locking can be executed using the key or the remote control.
Using the key, rotate the lock cyli nder twice in the locking direction. To activate the system using the remote control, press the lock button on the
remote twice.
When the “Safe” system is deactivated, the alarm volumetric sensor is also
deactivated.
When the “Safe” system is deactivated, the doors are locked using the simple
locking system, meaning that they may
be opened from the interior but not
from the exterior.
Involuntary deactivation
The methods described for deactivati on of the “Safe” system may be
executed involuntarily (for example, if we press the button because we
want to lock the vehicle, and it locks as a result, however, we are not sure that
it is locked and we press the button once more within 2 seconds, we will have
deactivated the “Safe” system).
Deactivation when opening
To deactivate the system on opening, see “Selective unlocking system*”.
“Safe” status
On the driver's door, there is a light in dicator visible from the outside of the
vehicle that indicates the “Safe” system status.
We can see that the “Safe” system is activated, by the flashing of the light
indicator. The indicator will flash on all vehicles, whether they are fitted with
an alarm or not, and until the vehicle is unlocked.
Remember:
Safe activated with or without alarm: Indicator flashes continuously.
Safe deactivated without alarm: The indicator remains off.
Safe deactivated with alarm: The indicator remains off.

WARNING
No one should remain in the vehicle if the “Safe” deadlock mechanism has
been activated. It is not possible to open the doors from the inside or the
outside and this would make any outsid e intervention difficult in case of
emergency. Danger of death. People could become trapped inside in an
emergency.Selective unlocking system*
This system allows for unlocking only the driver's door, or all
the vehicle.Driver's door unlock button
This is done by a simple unlocking (on ce). This can be done with the key or
the remote control.
With the key, rotate the key once in the lock cylinder in the unlock direction.
The driver's door will be released from the “Safe” system and unlocked and
may be opened, the indicator light will also be switched off. For vehicles fitted
with an alarm, this system is deactivated.
Using the remote control, press the unlock button on the remote once. The
“Safe” system is deactivated for all the vehicle, only the driver's door is
unlocked for opening, the alarm is turned off as is the light indicator.
Unlocking all doors and the boot
So that all the doors and the boot can be opened, the unlock button on
the remote must be pressed twice.
The button must be pressed twice in under 2 seconds and this will deactivate
the “Safe” system for all the vehicle, all doors will be unlocked and the boot
will be activated. The indicator will be turned off as will be the alarm for those
vehicles fitted with one. Unlocking the boot
See
⇒page 78 and ⇒page 83.
Locking system for involuntary unlocking
This is an anti-theft system and will avoid situations where
the vehicle is opened unintentionallyThe vehicle will be re-locked automatically, if it is unlocked and neither the
boot or any of the doors are opened within 30 seconds. This function
prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if the unlocking button is
pressed by mistake.Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*
This is a safety system to prevent access to the vehicle from
the exterior when the vehicle is in transit (for example, when
stopped at a traffic light).Locking
The doors and the boot are automatically locked when vehicle speed exceeds
15 km/h.
If the vehicle is stopped and one of the doors is opened, when the vehicle
moves off again and exceeds a speed of 15 km/h the unlocked door(s) will be
locked once more.
Unlocking
The driver's door automatically unlocks when the key is removed from the
ignition.
