Parking
the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition...
Other information:
Normal locking
With the doors and boot closed, the vehicle locks:
either automatically when leaving recognition
zone B, if the automatic functions are activated;
or by a light press on a door handle;
The locking is confirmed by the illumination of
the direction indicators and the daytime running
lamps as well as an audible signal for the locking
on moving away from the vehicle...
In
some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence of
misting on the internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
disappears after the lamps have been on for a
few minutes.
The headlamps have
polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent products...
