DIESEL ENGINES
Vehicles with diesel e ngines are equipped with
a system to prevent the fuel tank from
emptying completely. When the fuel reaches a
minimum level, the system will activate a
reduced power mode (i.e. the engine will not
run properly). This will be followed by the
engine stopping in appr oximately 1.6 km (1
mile).
This feature prevents the fuel system from
running dry, which could cause damage to the
vehicle. If the gauge indicates low fuel or the
warning indicator illuminates, the fuel tank
should be refuelled as s oon as possible at the
next filling station, with at least 4 litres (0.9
gallons) of fuel.
If the system protection function has activated,
the vehicle must firstly be refuelled, then
restarted using the following procedure:
1. With the brake pedal pressed, press and
hold the engine START/STOP button and
crank the engine for five seconds.
2. Release the STAR T/STOP button.
3. With the brake pedal pressed, press and
release the START/STOP button to crank
the engine. The engine should start within
approximately five seconds.
Note: If the engine does not start, pause for ten
seconds with the ignition in convenience
mode, before repeating the procedure from the
beginning.
Do not crank the engine for longer than
30 seconds continuously.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
Take note of all warnings and
instruction given on the label affixed
to the inside of the filler flap.
The vehicle must be unl ocked using the Smart
Key, before the filler flap can be opened.
1. Press and release the rear of the flap (in the
area indicated) to unlatch.
2. Pull the flap open. The label on the inside of
the flap indicates the correct fuel for the
vehicle.
3. Twist the cap anticlockwise to undo.
4. Stow the cap on the lip provided on the top
of the hinge arm, as shown.
When replacing the cap, turn it clockwise until
the ratchet clicks. Failure to do so may cause
the Engine malfunction warning lamp to
illuminate. If the warning lamp illuminates,
ensure the cap is fitted properly.

To close the filler flap, push the flap until
latched closed.
Note: The filler flap will only be locked closed
when the vehicle is centrally locked.
FUEL FILLER
When refuelling ensure that all
windows, doors, and sunroof are fully
closed, particularly if young children
or animals are in the vehicle.
Do not attempt to fill the tank to its
maximum capacity. If the vehicle is to
be parked on a slope, in direct
sunlight or high am bient temperature,
expansion of the fuel could cause
spillage.
Check the fuel pump information
carefully, to ensure that you are putting
the correct fuel into the vehicle.
If the vehicle is filled with incorrect fuel,
it is essential that you seek qualified
assistance before you start the engine.
Fuel station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing, to avoid fuel
spillage. Fill the tank until the filler nozzle
automatically cuts off the supply. Do not
attempt to fill the tank beyond this point.
Note: Filling station pumps used for diesel
commercial vehicles deliver fuel at a higher
rate than normal. The hi gher fill rate can cause
premature cut-off and ma y cause fuel spillage.
Therefore, it is recommended that only
standard light vehicle pumps are used.
DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION
DEVICE
When the misfuelling device is
activated it may cause fuel to be
discharged from the filler neck.
If the narrow filler nozzl e fitted to pumps
delivering unleaded petrol is fully inserted into
the filler neck the misfue l protection device will
activate.
Note: The spout on some fuel cans and older
fuel pumps may trigger the misfuelling device.
When activated, the ye llow protection device
will be visible inside the filler neck. It will
prevent fuel flow into the tank. Before fuelling
can continue with the correct fuel the device
will need to be reset.
The reset tool is stored in the luggage
compartment clipped onto the battery retaining
bar.

To reset the misfuelling device:-
1. Insert the reset tool with teeth uppermost,
as far as it will go into the filler neck.
2. Locate the teeth by pushing down the top
of the reset tool.
3. With the top of the tool pressed down and
the teeth engaged, slowly pull the tool out
of the filler neck to reset the device.
Do not twist the device, once the teeth
have engaged.
Note: The yellow part of the protection device
should no longer be visible in the filler neck.
Replace the reset tool in position on the battery
restraining bar.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and never
intentionally drive the vehicle when the fuel
gauge indicates that the tank is empty. When
refuelling your vehicle after the fuel gauge
reads empty, you may not be able to add the
fuel quantity shown below, as there will be a
small reserve remaining in the tank.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures shown below have been calculated using a standard testing
procedure (the new EC test proc edure from Directive 99/100/EC), and produced in accordance with
The Passenger Car Fuel Cons umption (Amendment) Order 1996.
Under normal use, a vehicle's actu al fuel consumption figures may differ from those achieved
through the test procedure, de pending on driving technique, ro ad and traffic conditions,
environmental factors, ve hicle load and condition.
URBAN CYCLE
The urban test cycle is carried out from a cold start and cons ists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and periods of stea dy speed driving and engine idling. The maximum speed attained
during the test is 50 km/h (30 mph) with an average speed of 19 km/h (12 mph).
EXTRA-URBAN CYCLE
The extra-urban test cycle is carried out immediatel y after the urban test. Approximately half of the
test comprises steady-speed driving, while the re mainder consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and engine idling . The maximum test speed is 120 km/h (75 mph) and the average
speed 63 km/h (39 mph). The test is carried out over a distance of 7 km (4.3 miles).
COMBINED
The combined figure is an average of the urban an d extra-urban test cycle results, which has been
weighted to take account of the differ ent distances covered during the two tests.
For additional information on fuel consumption figures and exhaust emissions, visit the Vehicle
Certification Agency (VCA) website at http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
Diesel vehicles equipped with a particle filter
have more efficient emission control. The
particles in the exhaust gases are collected in
the filter during normal driving.
When a DPF message is displayed, the filter
requires a regeneration cy cle to clean itself.
This requires the engine to have reached
normal operating temp erature. Regeneration
takes place automatically at an interval of
approximately 300-900 km (190-560 miles)
depending on driving c onditions. Regeneration
normally takes 10-20 minutes and is
automatically requested by the engine control
module if the vehicle is driven steadily at
vehicle speeds between 40mph to 70mph. It is
possible that the rege neration process will
occur at lower vehicle speeds, but the events
may take a little longer at a 50 km/h (30mph)
average speed.
DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES OR IN
COLD WEATHER
If the vehicle is fre quently driven short
distances or in cold weather conditions then
the engine may not re ach normal operating
temperature. This means that regeneration of
the diesel particle filter does not take place and
the filter is not efficiently cleaned. When the
filter reaches a condition when a filter
regeneration is approp riate and the current
drive style is not appropriate, a warning
triangle on the instrument panel illuminates,
and the message DPF Full. See manual is
displayed on the instrument panel. This is not
indicating a fault conditi on with the vehicle and
no dealership support should be required. Start
regeneration of the filter by driving the vehicle,
preferably on a main road or motorway. The
vehicle should then be driven for approximately
20 minutes or more. When regeneration is complete the warning
text is cleared automatically.
Note:
A small increase in fuel consumption
may be noticed temporarily during
regeneration.
ARDUOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS
When a vehicle is operated in severe or
arduous conditions, more frequent attention
must be paid to servic ing requirements. Refer
to your Service Portfolio for details or contact
your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.
SAFETY IN THE GARAGE
If the vehicle has been driven
recently, do not touch exhaust and
cooling system co mponents until the
engine has cooled.
Never leave the engine running in an
unventilated area.
Do not work beneath the vehicle with a
jack as the only means of support.
Keep your hands and clothing away
from drive belts, pulleys and fans.
Some fans may continue to operate
after the engine has stopped.
Remove metal wrist bands and
jewellery, before working in the
engine compartment.
Do not touch electrical leads or
components while the engine is
running, or with the starter switch
turned on.
Do not allow tools or metal parts of the
vehicle to make contact with the
battery leads or terminals.
