The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is refitted. Opening the filler cap may create a noise a caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel system.
To fill the tank in complete safety:  the engine must be switched off, open the fuel filler flap,  inser t the key in the cap, then turn it to the left,
 remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap,  fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause malfunctions.

135Safety
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum braking pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-skid regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. The electronic stability programme acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is star ted. They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel.
