EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

(6/6)

f

Rear fog lights

Turn centre ring 7 on the stalk

until the symbol faces mark 2, 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 7 again until the mark 2

is opposite the symbol for the fog light

that you wish to switch off. The corre-

sponding indicator light on the instru-

ment panel goes out.
The fog lights switch off when the exte-

rior lights are switched off.

Cornering lights

(depending on vehicle)
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).

Efficiency of a wiper blade

Check the condition of the wiper

blades. How long they last depends

on you:
– it must remain clean: clean the

blade and the screen regularly

with soapy water;

– do not use it when the screen is

dry;

– free it from the screen when it has

not been used for a long time.

In any event, replace them as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-

proximately every year (refer to the

information on “Wiper blades: re-

placement” in section 5).

Precautions for using the

wipers

– In freezing or snowy weather,

clear the screen before starting

the wipers (risk of motor over-

heating);

– ensure that no objects are ob-

structing the travel of the blade.

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));

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.

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 windscreen wipers; a

film of water or traces left by a

blade in the sensor’s detection

zone may increase the response

time of the automatic wipers, 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 windscreen wiper will

be less sensitive or may even not

react at all.

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

Note:

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.

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 on the

windscreen (dirt, snow, ice etc.),

clean the windscreen (including the

central area located behind the in-

terior rear view mirror) before oper-

ating the wipers (risk of motor over-

heating).
If an object is preventing a blade

from moving, it may stop function-

ing. Remove the obstacle and react-

ivate the wiper using the wiper stalk.

WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE

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.

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 leaded petrol will damage the

antipollution system and may lead to a

loss of warranty.

To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled

with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler

neck consists of a restrictor fitted with

a safety system which only allows

a nozzle for unleaded petrol to be

used (at the pump).
