“See-me-home lighting”

function

This function allows you to briefly switch

on the dipped beam headlights (to pro-

vide light when opening a gate, etc.).
With the engine and lights switched

off and the ring 3 in position 0 or

AUTO, pull the stalk 1 towards you: the

dipped beam headlights come on for

approximately 30 seconds. To increase

this duration, you may pull the stalk up

to four times (total time limited to ap-

proximately 2 minutes). The message

“Follow me home for _ _ _” along with

the time the lights will be on for is dis-

played on the instrument panel to con-

firm this action. You can then lock your

vehicle.
To switch off the lights before they go

out automatically, turn ring 3 to any po-

sition, then return it to the AUTO posi-

tion .

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

(5/5)

Rear fog lights

Turn centre ring 5 on the stalk

until the symbol faces mark 4, then re-

lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on

the exterior lighting selected, and an in-

dicator light will light up on the instru-

ment panel.
Do not forget to switch off the fog lights

when they are no longer needed, to

avoid inconveniencing other road

users.

Switching off the lights

Turn the ring 5 again until the mark 4

is opposite the symbol for the fog light

that you wish to switch off. The corre-

sponding indicator light goes out on the

instrument panel.
The fog lights switch off when the exte-

rior lights are switched off.

Cornering lights

Whenever the dipped beam headlights

are on and under certain conditions (at

speed, the steering wheel at an angle,

in forward gear, the indicator lights on,

etc.), when taking a corner one of the

front fog lights will come on to light the

inside of the bend.

When driving in fog or snow, or

when transporting objects which are

higher than the roof, the headlights

do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains

the responsibility of the driver: the

indicator lights on the instrument

panel inform you whether the fog

lights are lit (indicator light on) or not

(indicator light not on).

Front fog lights

Turn centre ring 5 on the

stalk 1 until the symbol faces mark 4,

then release it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on

the exterior lighting position selected,

and an indicator light will light up on the

instrument panel.

Special note

When driving the vehicle, the wiping

speed slows down whenever the ve-

hicle stops. For example, fast wiping

speed will slow to normal wiping speed.

As soon as the vehicle moves off,

wiping will return to the speed originally

selected.

If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and

cancels the automatic function.

Vehicle fitted with intermittent

windscreen wipers

A single sweep

A short push will trigger one sweep

of the wipers.

B stop

C intermittent wiping

The wipers will pause for several

seconds between sweeps. It is

possible to change the time be-

tween sweeps by turning ring 2.

D slow continuous wiping

E fast continuous wiping

Positions A, C and D are accessible

with the ignition on. Position E is

accessible only when the engine is

running.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (1/6)

Check the condition of the wiper

blades. You are responsible for their

service life:
– they must remain clean: clean

the blades, windscreen and

rear screen regularly with soapy

water;

– do not use them when the wind-

screen or rear screen are dry;

– free them from the windscreen or

rear screen when they have not

been used for a long time.

In all cases, replace them as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-

proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check

that no object obstructs the travel of

the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or

close the tailgate.

1.88

Vehicle fitted with front

windscreen wiper rain sensor

The rain sensor is located on the winds-

creen, in front of the interior rear-view

mirror.

A single sweep

A short push will trigger one sweep

of the wipers.

B stop

When activating automatic wiping

or when increasing sensitivity, one

sweep of the blades is performed.
Note:

–

the rain sensor is only intended

as a driving aid. In the event of re-

duced visibility, the driver should

manually activate the wipers;

–

In foggy weather or during snow-

falls, wiping is not automatically

triggered and remains under the

driver’s control;

–

in the event of temperatures

below zero, automatic wiping is

not activated when the vehicle

is started. It is automatically acti-

vated as soon as the vehicle ex-

ceeds a certain speed (approxi-

mately 5 mph (8 km/h));

–

do not activate automatic wiping

in dry weather;

–

fully de-ice the windscreen before

activating automatic wiping.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (2/6)

C automatic wiper function

When this position is selected, the

system detects water on the wind-

screen and triggers the wipers at a

suitable wiping speed. It is possi-

ble to change the triggering thresh-

old and the time sweeps by turning

ring 2:

– F : minimum sensitivity

– G : maximum sensitivity

The higher the sensitivity, the quic-

ker the wipers will react and the

faster the wipe.

1.89

D slow continuous wiping

E fast continuous wiping

Positions A and D are accessible

with the ignition on. Positions C

and E are accessible only with the

engine running.

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the

automatic wiping, the wiper is set to

intermittent wiping. Contact an au-

thorised dealer.

The operation of the rain sensor can

be disturbed in the event of:

–

damaged wiper blades; a screen

of water or traces left by a blade in

the sensor’s detection zone may

increase the response time of the

automatic wiper, or increase the

wiping frequency;

–

a windscreen with any chip or

crack level with the sensor, or a

windscreen covered in dust, dirt,

insects, ice, the use of washing

wax and water-repellent chemi-

cals; the automatic wiping will

be less sensitive, or even unres-

ponsive.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (3/6)

Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping

speed slows down whenever the ve-

hicle stops. For example, fast wiping

speed will slow to normal wiping speed.

As soon as the vehicle moves off,

wiping will return to the speed originally

selected.

If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and

cancels the automatic function.

Precautions
–

In the event of ice, check whether the

blades are stuck to the windscreen

before operating the wiping mecha-

nism. If you activate the wipers while

the blades are stuck down with ice,

you may risk damaging both the

blade and the wiper motor.

–

Do not activate the wipers on a dry

screen. This will lead to the prema-

ture wear or damage to the blades.

1.90

The blade on the driver’s side must

always be above the passenger-side

blade. If this is not the case, a quick

sweep of the windscreen wipers should

be performed once the vehicle is travel-

ling at over 4 mph (7 km/h).

Note:

Once the wipers have been switched

off, at least 1 minute after locking the

vehicle, it is possible to manually move

the blades. Do not force the blade arms

to move. This may risk damage to the

wiper motor, the arms and the blades.
After your intervention, to reposition the

blades correctly, make sure the blades

are resting on the windscreen, switch

on the ignition and activate the wiper

control.

Before any action involving

the windscreen (washing

the vehicle, de-icing,

cleaning the windscreen,

etc.) return stalk 1 to position B

(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.

In the event of obstacles present

on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,

etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-

ding the central area located behind

the interior rear-view mirror) and

the rear screen before starting the

wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade

from moving, it may stop functio-

ning. Remove the obstacle and

reactivate the wiper using the wiper

stalk.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (4/6)

Specific front wiper position

(service position)

This position enables the blades to be

lifted to remove them from the winds-

creen.
It may be useful to:

– to clean the blades;

– to release the blades from the winds-

creen in winter;

– replace the blades (please refer to

the information on “Wiper blades” in

Section 5).

With the ignition on and the engine off,

lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully

(fast continuous wipe position). The

wiper arms stop in a position away from

the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make

sure they have been placed on the

windscreen, then move the stalk to po-

sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition,

place the wipers on the windscreen.

Otherwise, there may a risk of damage

to the bonnet or the wipers when they

are switched on.

1.91

Note:
In temperatures below zero, the washer

liquid risks freezing to the windscreen,

thereby reducing visibility. Heat the

windscreen using the demister control

before cleaning.

Windscreen washer

With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 then

release.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep

of the wipers, in addition to the wind-

screen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps

of the wipers followed, a few seconds

later, by a fourth, in addition to the wind-

screen washer.

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in position B (stop).

Risk of injury.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (5/6)

1.92

Note:
To ensure the headlight washers op-

erate correctly in winter, remove snow

from the jet trims and de-ice the jet

trims using an aerosol de-icer.
You are recommended to regularly

remove dirt encrusted on the headlight

glass.
When the minimum windscreen washer

fluid level is reached, the headlight

washer system may be deprimed.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid and

then activate the windscreen washer,

with the engine running, to reprime

the system.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE (6/6)

Headlight washers

Headlights on

On equipped vehicles, hold stalk 1

pulled towards you for about 2 seconds

- the headlight washers and winds-

creen washers will be activated at the

same time.

The headlight washers are also activa-

ted after three prolonged movements

on the front windscreen washer control.

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in position B (stop).

Risk of injury.

1.93

REAR SCREEN WASH, WIPE (1/2)

Check the condition of the wiper

blades. You are responsible for their

service life:
– they must remain clean: clean

the blades, windscreen and

rear screen regularly with soapy

water;

– do not use them when the wind-

screen or rear screen are dry;

– free them from the windscreen or

rear screen when they have not

been used for a long time.

In all cases, replace them as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-

proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check

that no object obstructs the travel of

the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or

close the tailgate.

Rear screen wiper

With the ignition on, turn ring 3

on stalk 1 to align the symbol with

mark 2.
– stop;
– intermittent wiping.

The wipers will pause for several

seconds between sweeps. Wiping

frequency varies with vehicle

speed;

– slow continuous wiping.

To stop the operation, pivot ring 3 again.
Note:

When washing using a roller type car

wash, return the ring 3 on the stalk 1

to the stop position to deactivate auto-

matic wiping.

Follow usage recommendations.

Before any action involving

the rear screen (washing

the vehicle, de-icing, clean-

ing, etc.) return stalk 1 to

the stop position.
Risk of injury and/or damage.

1.94

Activation/deactivation of the rear

screen wiper

(depending on the vehicle)
Engaging reverse gear triggers inter-

mittent wiping (if the front wipers are in

operation). If your vehicle is fitted with

a vehicle settings customisation menu,

you can opt to activate or deactivate

this function. To do this, refer to the in-

formation on the “Vehicle settings cus-

tomisation menu” in Section 1; “Rear

wiping in reverse gear”.

REAR SCREEN WASH, WIPE (2/2)

Rear screen wash/wipe

With the ignition on, push and

hold stalk 1, then release.
A longer action will trigger three sweeps

of the wipers followed, a few seconds

later, by a fourth, in addition to the wind-

screen washer.

In the event of obstacles present on the

rear window (dirt, snow, etc.), the wiper

will try to sweep away all the obstacles.

If an obstacle prevents the blade from

moving, it can be stopped. Remove the

obstacle, wait for around 30 seconds

and reactivate the wiper using the wiper

stalk.

Precautions
–

In the event of ice, check whether

the blades are stuck to the wind-

screen before operating the wiping

mechanism. If you activate the wiper

while the blade is blocked by ice, you

risk damaging both the blade and the

wiping motor.

–

Do not activate the wipers on a dry

screen. This will lead to the prema-

ture wear or damage to the blades.

1.96

FUEL TANK

(2/3)

Filling with fuel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle

and insert it fully before turning it on to

fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through-

out the entire filling operation.

When the pump cuts out automatically

at the end of the filling procedure, a

maximum of two further filling attempts

may be made, as there must be suffi-

cient space in the fuel tank to allow for

expansion.

Make sure that no water enters the fuel

tank during filling. The cover A and its

surround must remain clean.

Petrol versions
Using diesel fuel will damage the anti-

pollution system and may lead to a loss

of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not

filled with diesel fuel, the fuel tank filler

neck consists of a restrictor fitted with

a safety system which only allows a

nozzle for petrol to be used (at the

pump).

Vehicle fitted with the Stop and

Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must

be stopped (and not on standby):

stop the engine (please refer to the

information on “Starting and stop-

ping the engine” in Section 2).
