REVERSING CAMERA

(1/2)

This gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are

in line with the vehicle.

Special feature

Make sure that the camera is not ob-

scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Operation

When reversing, the camera 1 on the

boot lid transmits a view of the sur-

roundings to the rear of the vehicle

to the multimedia display 2 accompa-

nied by two clearance gauges 3 and 4

(mobile and fixed).
This system is initially used with the aid

of several gauges (mobile for trajectory

and fixed for distance). When the red

zone is reached, use the bumper image

to stop accurately.

3 moving guide line:
This is shown in blue on screen 2. It in-

dicates the vehicle trajectory according

to the position of the steering wheel.

Fixed gauge 4
The fixed clearance gauge comprises

coloured markers A, B and C, indica-

ting the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centi-

metres from the vehicle;

– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-

metres from the vehicle;

– C (green) approximately 150 centi-

metres from the vehicle.

REVERSING CAMERA

(2/2)

This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circums-

tances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.

The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents during dri-

ving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child,

animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in

your path when manoeuvring.

The screen shows a reverse image.
The frames are a representation

projected onto flat ground; this in-

formation must not be taken into

account when superimposed on a

vertical object or an object on the

ground.
Objects which appear on the edge

of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in

sunshine etc.), the camera vision

may be adversely affected.
If the boot is open or poorly closed,

the message “Boot open” appears

and the camera display disappears.

You can also adjust the camera image

settings (brightness, contrast, etc.)

Operation

With the gear lever 1 in position P,

switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must

depress the brake pedal before pres-

sing unlocking button 2.
With the foot on the brake pedal (war-
ning light

c

on the display 3 goes

out), move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-

cle is stopped, with your foot on the

brake and the accelerator pedal re-

leased.

5: R: reverse gear
6 : N : neutral
7: D: automatic mode
8 : manual mode
9 : zone displaying gearbox mode or

gear engaged in manual mode

Driving in automatic mode

Select position D. In most traffic condi-

tions, you will not have to touch the

gear selector lever again: the gears will

change automatically at the right time

and at the most suitable engine speed

because the automatic system takes

into account the vehicle load and road

contour and adjusts itself to the particu-

lar driving style you have chosen.

Economical driving

When driving, always leave the lever

in position D, keeping the accelerator

pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-

matic gear changes at a lower engine

speed.

Accelerating and overtaking

Depress the accelerator pedal firmly

and fully (so that it goes beyond the

kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down

to the optimum gear within the

engine range.

2.45

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

(2/3)

An impact to the under-

side of the vehicle while

manoeuvring (e.g.: stri-

king a post, raised kerb or

other street furniture) may result in

damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-

mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have

your vehicle checked by an appro-

ved Dealer.

In very cold weather, the system

may prevent the gears from being

shifted in manual mode until the

gearbox reaches the right tempera-

ture.

Driving in manual mode

With the selector lever in position D,

move the lever to the left. Shifting the

lever repeatedly allows you to change

gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,

push the lever backwards;

– To move up through the gears, push

the lever forwards.

The gear selected is displayed on the

instrument panel.

Special cases

Under certain driving conditions (e.g.

engine protection, or electronic stability

program (ESP) operational etc.): the

automatic system may change gear au-

tomatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect ma-

noeuvres, a gear change may be re-

fused by the automatic system: in this

case the gear display flashes for a few

seconds as a warning.

Special circumstances

– If the road contours and bends

do not allow you to stay in automa-

tic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),

we recommend that you change to

manual mode.

This will prevent the automatic gear-

box from changing gears repeatedly

when climbing, and permit engine

braking on long descents.

– In cold weather, to prevent the

engine from stalling, wait a few mo-

ments before shifting the selector

lever from position P or N and enga-

ging D or R.

Parking the vehicle

When the vehicle is stopped, move the

lever to position P while keeping your

foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is

in neutral and the drive wheels are me-

chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake or, depending

on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-

tronic parking brake is applied.

Operating faults

– When driving, if the “Check auto

gearbox” message appears on the

instrument panel, it indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as

soon as possible.

– When driving, if the message “Auto

gearbox overheating” appears on the

instrument panel, stop the vehicle to

allow the gearbox to cool down.
Contact your approved Dealer as

soon as possible.

– If a vehicle with an automatic

gearbox breaks down, refer to the

information on “Towing” in Section 5.

When setting off, if the lever is locked

in position P, even though you are de-

pressing the brake pedal and pressing

the unlocking button 10, the lever can

still be released manually. To do this,

unclip the base of the gear lever star-

ting on the side below the heating and

air conditioning controls A, press the

button 11 and at the same time, press

the release button 10 on the lever.

Switching air conditioning on

or off

The air conditioning is switched on (in-

dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)

using button 3.

The air conditioning system is used

for:
– lowering the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminating condensation more

quickly.

Distribution of air in the

passenger compartment

There are five air distribution options.

Turn control 4 to choose the distribution

option.

W

The air flow is directed to the

windscreen and the front side

window demisting vents.

i

The air flow is distributed be-

tween all the air vents, the

front side window demisting vents, the

windscreen demisting vents and the

footwells.

ó

The air flow is directed mainly

towards the footwells.

G

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard air vents, the

front footwells and, depending on the

vehicle, the second row footwells.

J

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard air vents and,

depending on the vehicle, the second

row air vents.

3.5

Adjusting the ventilation

speed

Turn control 2 clockwise to increase the

air flow in the passenger compartment.

Passenger compartment ventilation

is referred to as “blown air”. The ven-

tilation fan determines the air flow.

However, it is also affected by the ve-

hicle speed.

“OFF" position:

The system is deactivated: the ventila-

tion speed is zero (vehicle stationary).

You can, however, still feel a slight flow

of air when the vehicle is moving.

Recommended demisting option:

Turn controls 1, 2 and 4 to the

W

position. This is the quickest option for

de-icing and demisting the side win-

dows and the windscreen.

Switching the air

recirculation on

Press button 6: the integrated indicator

light comes on.

Under these conditions, air is taken

from the passenger compartment and

is recirculated, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle.

Positions

W

and

disable

the air recirculation function to avoid

any risk of condensation forming on

the windscreen, and trigger the air

conditioning and integrated indica-

tor light 3 to come on.

Air recirculation is for:

– isolating the vehicle from the exter-

nal atmosphere (driving in polluted

areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side

windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air in

the passenger compartment.

We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the air

recirculation function is no longer required, by pressing the button 6 again.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

(1/5)

Automatic mode

The automatic climate control system

guarantees comfort in the passen-

ger compartment and good visibility

(except in the event of extreme condi-

tions), whilst optimising consumption.

The system controls the ventilation

speed, air distribution, air recircula-

tion, and starting and stopping the air

conditioning and air temperature. This

mode consists of a choice of three pro-

grammes:
AUTO: allows the selected comfort

level to be best attained, depending on

the exterior conditions. Press button 3.
SOFT: gently brings the temperature to

the desired comfort level. The comfort

level is then maintained gently and si-

lently. Press button 2.
FAST: increases the operation of the

system to reach the desired comfort

level more quickly. Use this programme

when you have passengers in the rear.

The displayed temperature values

show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, in-

creasing or decreasing the value

displayed will not allow the com-

quickly. The system will always op-

timise the temperature increase or

decrease (the ventilation system

does not start instantly at maximum

speed: it gradually increases). This

may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is

a particular reason not to, the dash-

board air vents should remain open.

You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-

matic programmes AUTO, SOFT or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning

functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection. In this case, the indicator light on the

Manual use
Pressing button 11 allows air recircula-

tion to be forced, in which case the in-

tegrated warning light comes on as well

as warning light 14.
Prolonged use of this position may lead

to odours, caused by non-renewal of

air, and the formation of condensation

on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-

tomatic mode as soon as the air recir-

culation function is no longer required,

by pressing button 11 again.

Stopping the system

Press the button 7 to switch off the

system; in this case “OFF” is shown on

the display 12. To switch the system on,

press one of switches 2, 3 or 4.

Recycling

This function is managed automati-

cally (operation is confirmed by warn-

ing light 14 on display 12), but you can

also activate it manually.

Note:

– during recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and

is recycled, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle;

– air recirculation allows the external

atmosphere to be cut off (when dri-

ving in polluted areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase

in fuel consumption (especially

when driving in town) when the air

conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air

conditioning, switch off the system

when it is not required.

Advice for reducing

consumption and therefore

helping to preserve the

environment:
Drive with the air vents open and

the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in

the sun, open the doors for a few

moments to let the hot air escape

before starting the engine.

Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document

for your vehicle for the inspection

frequency.

Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved dealer in the event of an op-

erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist-

ing or air conditioning per-

formance. This may be caused

by the passenger compartment

filter cartridge becoming clogged.

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set

correctly and that the fuses are

sound. Otherwise, switch off the

system.

Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning

off, air recirculation activated, venti-

lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you

may notice that condensation starts

to form on the windows and wind-

screen.
If there is condensation, use the

“Clear View” function to remove it,

then use the air conditioning in auto-

matic mode to stop it forming again.

If the condensation does not clear,

use the FAST programme.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

Note
Presence of water under the ve-

hicle. After prolonged use of the air

conditioning system, it is normal for

water to be present under the vehi-

cle. This is caused by condensation.
