Resetting the trip mileage

With “trip mileage recorder” selected on

the display, press button 2 or 3 until the

mileage recorder resets to zero.

Resetting the journey

parameters (reset button)

With one of the trip parameters selected

as the display, press and hold button 2

or 3 until the display resets.

Interpreting some of the

values displayed after

resetting

The values showing average fuel con-

sumption, range and average speed

will become more stable and reliable

the further you travel after pressing the

reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing

the reset key you will notice that the

range increases as you travel. This

range takes into account the average

fuel consumption since the last time the

reset button was pressed. Therefore,

the average fuel consumption may de-

crease when:
–

the vehicle stops accelerating;

–

the engine reaches its operating

temperature (if the engine was cold

when the reset key was pressed);

–

when driving from an urban area

onto the open road.

Automatic resetting of the

journey parameters

Resetting occurs automatically when

the maximum value of any of the pa-

rameters is exceeded.

Switching off the lights

There are two possibilities:

– manually, move ring 2 to position 0;

– automatically, if the ring 2 is in

AUTO position and if the main beam

headlights are not switched on. The

lights will go out automatically when

the engine is switched off, the dri-

ver’s door is opened or the vehicle

is locked. In this case, the next time

the engine is started, the lights will

be switched back on according to the

position of the ring 2, taking into ac-

count the exterior light level, without

moving the stalk 1.

Rear fog light

Turn the centre ring 4 on

the stalk until the symbol is opposite

mark 3, then release it.
Depending on the vehicle, the stalk re-

turns to the initial position or stays in

position.
Operation of the fog lights depends on

users, remember to switch off the rear

fog light when it is no longer needed.

Turning off the fog lights

There are two possibilities:

– manually, depending on the vehi-

cle, turn the ring 4 again to bring the

mark 3 opposite the symbol for the

fog light that you want to switch off,

or bring the ring 4 into position 0. The

corresponding indicator light will go

out on the instrument panel;

– the lights will go out automati-

cally when the engine is switched

off or the vehicle is locked, and the

fog lights when the driver’s door is

opened.

The front and rear fog lights switch off

when the exterior lights are switched

off.

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).

With the ignition on, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.

Depending on the vehicle, the wipers

may stop for a few seconds between

wipes. It is possible to change the

time between sweeps by turning

ring 2.

– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

Special note
When driving, the wiping speed slows

down whenever the vehicle stops. For

example: the speed will change from

a fast wiping speed to normal wiping

speed.

As soon as the vehicle moves off,

wiping will return to the speed originally

selected.

Any action on stalk 1 overrides and

cancels automatic operation.
Starting the vehicle with the stalk in

position D triggers a slow continuous

sweeping movement. Adjusting the

stalk to position D is necessary to trig-

ger a rapid continuous sweeping move-

ment.

Vehicles with automatic wiper

function

With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B 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:

– E: minimum sensitivity

– F: maximum sensitivity

NB: in foggy weather or during

snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-

cally triggered and remains under

the driver’s control.

– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in position A (park).

Risk of injury.

Do not try to lift the wiper blades.

They cannot remain detached from

the windscreen. To replace the

blades, refer to Section 5: “Wiper

blades”.

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 all cases, replace it as soon as

it begins to lose efficiency: approx-

imately once a year. Refer to the

paragraph on “Wiper blades” in

Section 5.

Precaution for using the

wipers

– In freezing or snowy weather

conditions, clear the screen

before starting the wipers (risk of

motor overheating);

– ensure that no objects are ob-

structing the travel of the blade.
