Special note
When the vehicle is being driven, the
wiping speed slows down whenever
the vehicle stops. For example, fast
wiping speed will slow to normal wiping
speed. As soon as the vehicle moves
off, wiping will return to the speed origi -
nally selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.
If for any reason the wipers are
jammed (eg. frozen to windscreen
by ice, etc.), the system will auto -
matically cut the power supply to
the wipers.

system detects the presence of
water on the windscreen and trig -
gers wiping at a suitable wiping
speed. The triggering threshold
and the time between sweeps can
be adjusted by turning ring 2.
Note: in foggy weather or during
snowfalls, wiping is not automatically
triggered and remains under the
driver’s control.

Fuel gradeUse a high-grade fuel that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country. It must conform to the specifi-
cations given on label A inside the fuel
filler flap. Please refer to the information
on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that
conforms to the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A.
Make sure that no water accidentally
enters the fuel tank during filling. The
shut-off system and its surrounding
area must be dust-free.
Fuel tank
FUeL TANK (1/3)
A
Fuel filler cap: this is of a
special type.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an ap -
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Filling the tank
With the vehicle unlocked, to open the
fuel filler flap, place your finger in open -
ing 1 and pull the flap.
Use the ignition key to open the cap 2.
Use cap holder 3 on the fuel filler flap B
during filling to hold the cap 2 in place.
Useful capacity of fuel tank: approxi-
mately 60 litres.

Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un -
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

No modifications what -
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (electronic unit,
wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protec -
tive covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by
qualified Network personnel).
Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle
so that the valve opens and then fully
insert it before beginning to fill the tank
(risk of splashback).
Keep the nozzle in this position through -
out the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made so as to leave sufficient
room for expansion.
petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck consists of a restrictor fitted with
a foolproof system which only allows
a nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
FUeL TANK (2/3)
persistent smell of
fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle when traffic con-
ditions allow it and switch off the
ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers
to leave the vehicle and to keep
away from the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
petrol versions
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) should match
the information given on the label A lo-
cated inside the fuel filler flap. Please
refer to the information on “Engine
specifications” in Section 6.
v ehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine. To avoid this problem, use un-
leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,
use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the correct end of the exten -
sion piece supplied into the socket in -
tegrated into the radiator grille and the
other end into a 220 v socket for at
least 6 hours before starting.
NB: you may notice an increase in fuel
consumption with this type of fuel.

Repriming the fuel circuit
After a breakdown caused by com -
pletely running out of fuel, the system
must be reprimed before the engine is
restarted:
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera -
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
The peripheral components (alter -
nator, starter, engine mountings,
etc.) should be protected against
splashes of fuel.
v ehicles with a manual priming bulb
– If fitted to the vehicle, turn the bleed
screw located on the diesel filter;
– activate the priming bulb 1 until it
hardens and fuel runs in the pipes.

FUeL TANK (3/3)
v ehicles without a manual priming
bulb
– Put the ignition key in “On” posi -
tion M (please see the information
on the “Ignition switch” in Section
2) and wait for a few minutes before
starting, to enable the fuel circuit to
be primed;
– turn the key to position D. If the
engine does not start, repeat the pro-
cedure.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehi -
cle with the key inside and
never leave a child (or a
pet) unsupervised, even for a short

the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has stopped completely.
Once the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer -
ing, etc., and the passive safety de-
vices such as the airbags and pre -
tensioners will no longer operate.

Warning light  is displayed on the
instrument panel. This notifies you that
the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera -
tional while the engine is stopped.
The engine will restart when you press
the clutch pedal and move into gear.
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
System operating conditionsEngine standby is activated if:
– the vehicle has been driven since its
last stop;
– the gearbox is in neutral;
– the clutch pedal is released;
and
– the vehicle is travelling at less than 3
km/h. Special feature of the automatic
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine
can restart on its own in order to guar-
antee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
–
the outdoor temperature is too low or
too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 30 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is acti -
vated if fitted on the vehicle (please
see “Automatic Climate Control” in
Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the vehicle speed is above 7 km/h
(downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake
pedal or braking system require -
ment;
– ...
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
Do not drive off when the
engine is on standby (warn-
ing light
 is displayed
on the instrument panel).
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition (please see
section on “Starting, stop -
ping the engine”).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.
