AUTOMATIc GEARBOX (continued)
Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In the majority of
traffic conditions, you will not have to
touch the gear selector lever again: the
gear will be changed automatically at
the right time and at the most suitable
engine speed because the automatic
system takes into account the vehicle
load and road contour and adjusts itself
to the particular driving style you have
chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
Driving in manual mode
With the lever in position D, shift the
lever to the left-hand side.
Shifting lever 1 repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards,
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear ratio engaged appears on the
instrument panel. Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.:
engine protection, operation of the
electronic stability program: ESP), the
automated system may change the
gear automatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu
-
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
Using an emergency spare wheel may
disrupt the operation of the automatic
gearbox.

leased manually.
To do this, unclip the upper section of
the gaiter 3.Push unlocking button 2 and button 4
under the gaiter at the same time to
move the lever from position P.

Engine oil level/Engine oil change
enGIne oIL LeVeL: general information
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes. However, contact
your approved Dealer if more than
0.5 litres is being consumed every
600 miles (1,000 km) after the running
in period.
o il change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and always
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil levelThe vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been stopped for a long time before -
hand to obtain an accurate reading.
Always use the dipstick to check the
exact oil level and ensure that the
maximum level is not exceeded (risk
of engine damage): refer to the infor-
mation on “Engine oil level/Topping-up/
Filling” on the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.
Reading the level on the instrument
panel
When the ignition is switched on:
If the level is above the minimum, the
display indicates ‘Oil level OK’: mes -
sage 1.
For more information: press button 3.
The squares which appear on the dis -
play indicate the level. These squares
disappear as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by dashes.If the level is at the minimum, the ‘Top
Up Oil Level’ message appears on the
display. The squares are replaced by
dashes: message 2.
Indicator light
ú comes on at the
same time.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
The display only warns the
driver if the oil level is at the
minimum level. It does not
inform the driver that the oil
level has exceeded the maximum
level as this can only be measured
using a dipstick.

Interior trim maintenance
Glass instrument panel(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior
temperature display, radio display, etc.)
Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).
If this does not clean it properly, use a
soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly mois-
tened with soapy water and then wipe
clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton
wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco -
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean.
Use products selected by our Technical
Department (Approved outlets) or
warm, soapy water and a sponge and
wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
InteRIoR tRIM MAIntenAnCe (1/2)
textiles (seats, door trim, etc)
Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or pasty stain
Carefully remove the excess solid or
pasty material immediately with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
centre to avoid spreading the stain).
Clean as for a liquid stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-
larly.
A stain should always be dealt with
swiftly.
Whatever type of stain is on the trim,
use
cold (or warm) soapy water with
natural soap.
Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow -
dered products, alcohol-based prod-
ucts) should not be used.
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.
For further recommendations for
maintaining the interior, and/or for
any unsatisfactory results, please
see an authorised dealer.

t o refit the emergency spare
wheel
Proceed in the reverse order.
– stand the punctured wheel up, with
valve 5 towards you;
– run the cable across and reposition
lock 4;
– lie the wheel down, with valve 5
facing the ground;
– in the luggage compartment, use the
tool to completely to rewind the re -
taining cable. Advice
Check the pressure of the emergency
spare wheel regularly.
note:
The bolts for the aluminium wheel may
be used to secure the steel emergency
spare wheel.
using the emergency spare
wheel
The “tyre pressure monitor” function
does not monitor the emergency spare
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the
instrument panel and/or the information
display). Refer to the information on the
“Tyre pressure monitor” in Section 2.
Special note
Using an emergency spare wheel may
disrupt certain functions (automatic
gearbox, etc.).
If the emergency spare
wheel has been stored
for several years, have it
checked by your Dealer to
ensure that it is safe to use.

Vehicles fitted with an
emergency spare wheel
which is different to the
four other wheels:
– Never fit more than one emer -
gency spare wheel to the same
vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare
wheel as soon as possible with
a wheel identical to the original
one.
– When this is fitted to the vehicle,
which must only be a temporary
measure, the driving speed must
not exceed the speed indicated
on the label on the wheel.
– Fitting an emergency spare
wheel may alter the way the ve -
hicle usually runs. Avoid sudden
acceleration or deceleration and
reduce your speed when corner-
ing.
– If you need to use snow chains,
fit the emergency spare wheel to
the rear axle and check the tyre
pressure.
