Engine oil level

To check the oil level, use dipstick 3.
The level shown on dipstick 3 should be between
MIN A and MAX B. If the oil level is at minimum,
the message “Adjust oil level” is displayed on the
instrument panel.

You must observe the service intervals and the
standards governing the oils tested for your engine.
Refer to the Maintenance Service and Warranty
document for your vehicle, and to Section 4 of the
vehicle handbook for the precautions to take when
filling with oil.

Coolant level

The level indicated on reservoir 2 should be be­tween the MIN and MAX markings.
If it is necessary to top up this level, it is essential
to do so when the engine is cold.

Screen washer fluid level

Add some fluid to reservoir 4 if necessary.
Note: depending on the vehicle, to find out the fluid

level, open the cap and pull out the dipstick.

Opening the bonnet

To open, pull the unlocking control (refer to the
“Dashboard” section), lift handle 1 and raise the
bonnet. Guide it when opening; it is supported by
struts.

Closing the bonnet

Check that nothing has been left in the engine
compartment. To close the bonnet again, hold it
in the middle and guide it down, allowing a 30 cm
gap before it is closed, then release it. It will latch
automatically under its own weight. Check that it
is locked.

lights up orange on instrument panel 2.

Reposition the switch immediately to ON as soon
as you are no longer using the child seat.

With the ignition on, you must check that the

›

warning light lights up green on in­strument panel 2, then goes off after about one

ISOFIX system

The rear seats are equipped with the ISOFIX child
seat mounting system.
Depending on the type of child seat used, installa­tion requires specific precautions. Refer to Section
1 of the driver’s handbook.
The two rings 5 are located between the seatback
and the seat base, and a third anchoring point is lo­cated behind each seat. The rings are indicated by
a marking. To ensure your child seat can be easily
fitted and locked on the rings 5, use the access
guides 6 on the child seat.

Parking distance control

On equipped vehicles, the parking distance control
measures the distance between the rear (and, de­pending on the vehicle, the front) of the vehicle and
any obstacles that are nearby.
When approaching an obstacle during manoeuvres,
the beeps become faster and then sound continu­ously when 30 cm from the obstacle. In addition
to the beeps, there is display 1 on the instrument
panel. It is made up of three zones in different
colours: A, B and C.
Depending on the vehicle, you may have a revers­ing camera which allows the area to the rear of the
vehicle to be displayed on the navigation screen.

Fuel tank

Your vehicle is fitted with an integrated fuel filler
flap.

– Place your finger in recess 4 in the fuel filler flap

to open it, then insert the filler nozzle;

– when driving, if the low fuel level warning light

L

comes on or flashes (depending on the

vehicle), fill up immediately.

The fuel tank capacity is approximately 60 litres.

When switching to reverse gear, the camera is acti­vated and two lines appear on the screen.
Moving blue line 2: this shows the vehicle’s tra­jectory according to the position of the steering
wheel.
Fixed line 3: this is made up of three fixed
points D, E and F which show you the distance
behind the vehicle.
Refer to Section 2 of your driver’s handbook.
You can deactivate the parking distance control
permanently and adjust the volume from the vehi­cle settings customisation menu. Refer to Section
1 of your driver’s handbook.
