The 2.0 HDi engine makes use of advanced technology.
Any repair work must be carried out by suitably qualified
personnel, such as can be provided by the dealer network.
Priming the fuel system In the event of running out of fuel:
A 1.9 D ENGINE: - After filling (5 litres minimum), operate the manual priming pump untilsome resistance is felt.
- Operate the starter motor while depressing the accelerator pedal slightly until the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start at the first attempt, wait 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine fails to start after several attempts, repeat the procedure from the beginning. When the engine is idling, accelerate slightly to complete the bleeding of the circuit. Engine 2.0 HDi: After adding fuel, turn the ignition key to position M, then operate the star-
ter motor until the engine starts. Injection pump Do not remove the seals on the pump setting screws under any circum- stances. Alteration of the settings might lead to early engine failure and loss of war-
ranty cover.
B Draining water from the fuel filter Bleed regularly (each time the engine is drained).
To remove the water, loosen the bleed screw at the bottom of the filter.Operate until all the water has been expelled.

BRAKES45II-4ABS - Anti-lock Braking System* This system improves vehicle safety by preventing the wheels from locking under emergency braking or when
braking on surfaces offering poor adhesion.
It thus also allows control of the steering to be retained. The operation of the various electronic components of the system is continuously monitored, both before and during your
journey. On switching on the ignition, the ABS lamp will light for approximately two seconds. If it stays on or lights when
driving, the ABS computer has detected a fault and has disconnected the ABS system. If the lamp lights whilst driving, it
again indicates that a fault has been detected and that the ABS system is inactive. In both situations, the normal braking
system is not affected and will continue to function as a conventional braking system without ABS. Nevertheless, to re-
establish the full safety features of the ABS system, It is recommended that the vehicle be examined by a dealer as soonas possible.
On slippery roads (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.), it is imperative to drive with caution.

2 - Isolation of passenger compartment* Intake of outside air. Optimum position for demisting.
Recycled interior air. This position prevents the entry of unpleasant odours into the vehicle. It is recommended that the control not be
left in the recycling position for longer than necessary. The normal position will provide a continuous fresh airsupply to the passenger compartment and will avoid misting of the windows.
3 - Heater blower control slider. For optimum comfort inside the passenger compartment, this control should not be left in the minimum position.

AIR CONDITIONING*III-2

Air conditioning
The air conditioning system will only operate with the engine running. Press the switch Aon the dashboard.
A warning lamp confirms that the system is switched on.
For the air conditioning to be fully effective, the windows should be closed. The system contains a non-polluting CFC sub- stitute. If after a prolonged stop in direct sunlight the inside of the car is hot, leave the windows openfor a few minutes to provide a rapid air change,then close them.
Air recycling
To obtain the most effective cooling in the pas-senger compartment in very hot conditions,select the recycling position. Set control Bto the left, and place the heater
blower control Din the mid-way position.
It is recommended that the control not be left in the recycling position for longer than necessa-
ry. The normal position will provide a conti-nuous fresh air supply to the passenger com-partment. Rapid demisting Switch on the air conditioning.Set the control to the fresh air position and air flow to
maximum.Select the demisting position using control C.
Set the temperature control to maximum. Note: A normal consequence of having the air conditioning turned
on is that water condenses on the surface of the air conditioner. This drains out through a specially provided hole and may form apuddle under the car when parked.
To maintain effective operation of the compressor seals, ope- rate the air conditioning at least once a month. The air conditioning is useful even in winteras it can be used to
remove moisture from the air.
