Automatic main beam

headlights

Depending on the vehicle, this system

switches the main beam headlights on

and off automatically. The function uses

a camera located behind the interior

rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that

are following and coming in the oppo-

site direction.
The main beam headlights come on au-

tomatically if:

– exterior light is weak;

– no other vehicles or lighting are de-

tected;

– the vehicle speed is above approxi-

mately 30 mph (45 km/h).

If any of the above conditions are not

fulfilled, the system switches to dipped

beam headlights.

The “automatic main beam

headlights” system should

under no circumstances be

used to replace driver atten-

tion and responsibility with regard

to vehicle lighting and adapting to

light, visibility and traffic conditions.

Using the portable naviga-

tion system at night in the

windscreen area below the

camera may disturb the op-

eration of the “automatic main beam

headlights” system (risk of reflection

on the windscreen).

The system may encounter difficul-

ties under certain conditions, inclu-

ding:

– extreme weather conditions (rain,

snow, fog, etc.);

– obstruction in front of the wind-

screen or camera;

– when a following or oncoming ve-

hicle has weak or hidden lighting;

– incorrect settings for the front

headlights;

– reflective systems;

– ...

Activation

Turn ring 3 until the AUTO symbol is op-

posite mark 2.

Pull stalk 1 to activate main beam

headlights. Warning light



comes

on the instrument panel.

Deactivation

– Pull stalk 1 again;

– or turn ring 3 to a position other than

AUTO.

Warning light

FUEL TANK

(1/2)

Filling the tank

Open the driver’s door in order to open

flap 1.
Depending on the vehicle, unlock cap 2

using the key.
Remove cap 2 and attach it to flap 1.
Useful capacity of fuel tank: approxi-

mately 105 litres or 80 litres (depend-

ing on the vehicle).

Filling with fuel

When the pump cuts out automatically

at the end of the filling procedure, a

maximum of two further filling attempts

may be made to maintain an expansion

volume.

Fuel grade

It is essential to use diesel. Make

sure that no water accidentally enters

the fuel tank during filling. The shut-off

system and its surrounding area must

be dust-free. The diesel fuel must be of

a high grade.

2

After filling, check that the cap and

cover are closed.

Fuel filler cap: this is of a

special type.
If you have to replace it,

make sure it is identical

to the original cap. Contact an ap-

proved Dealer.

Never place the cap near a source

of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a

high-pressure washer.

Do not mix even small

amounts of petrol (un-

leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not add additive to the

fuel – otherwise you risk damaging

the engine.

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).

1.103

FUEL TANK

(2/2)

No modifications what-

soever are permitted on

any part of the fuel supply

system (computers, wiring,

fuel circuit, injector, protection

covers, etc.) as this may be danger-

ous (such work must be undertaken

by qualified Network personnel).

Persistent smell of

fuel

If you notice a persistent

smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow and switch off

the ignition;

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers

to leave the vehicle and to keep

away from traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

Running out of fuel on diesel

versions

After a breakdown caused by com-

pletely running out of fuel, the system

must be reprimed before the engine is

restarted:

Fill the tank on level ground with a mini-

mum of 5 litres of diesel.
Press priming bulb 3 several times.
The engine can now be restarted.

If the engine does not start after several

attempts, contact an approved Dealer.

Please ensure that you comply with the

legislation of your country.
It is important to remember that failure

to respect regulations in force could

lead to legal action being taken against

the vehicle owner.

Operating principle

The use of additives reduces exhaust

emissions by transforming the pollu-

tants into water vapour and nitrogen.

Topping up

Capacity of the fuel tank: 20 litres ap-

proximately.

Open the front passenger door to open

the cover 2. Unscrew the cap 1.

ADDITIVE TANK

tank, check that the cap and

cover are closed, start the

engine and IMPERATIVELY wait

for 10 seconds with the vehicle

stationary, engine running before

setting off again.

If this operation is not carried out,

the filling of the tank will only be

taken into account automatically

after at least several dozens of mi-

nutes of driving.

The message “--- ADD ADBLUE”

and/or the warning lights will conti-

nue to appear until the filling has

been taken into account by the

system.

1.105

ADDITIVE TANK

(2/6)

Precautions for use

Always read the information on the ad-

ditive can.
Handle additives with care. They can

damage clothes, shoes, bodywork

components etc.
If the additive overflows, or contami-

nates any paintwork, clean the affected

area quickly with a damp cloth.
In extreme cold weather conditions

The vehicle is fitted with a system for

reheating the additive fluid that enables

you to drive in extreme cold weather

conditions.
Precautions when filling the tank

The additive fluid freezes below about

-10°C.

In this case, do not attempt filling when

the fluid is frozen.

It is therefore advisable to top up the

additive fluid or have it topped up by a

qualified professional as soon as the



warning light on the instrument

panel first comes on.

The additive must not come

into contact with eyes or

skin. If it does, wash the af-

fected area with plenty of

cold water. If necessary, consult a

doctor.

Additive quality

Use only additives which conform

to standard ISO 22241 and in accor-

dance with the label on the fuel filler

flap.

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 start your vehicle

while freewheeling on a

gradient. Risk of non-acti-

vation of power-assisted
