Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection
equipment which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollu -
tion” is displayed on the instrument
panel accompanied by the
Ä and
©warning light; consult an ap -
proved dealer straight away.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub -
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully
charged,
– always keep the diesel tank rela -
tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.

when the engine stalls): when a door
is opened.
In this case, pull and release switch 3 to
apply the electronic parking brake.
The brake will be released as soon as
the vehicle starts and accelerates.
automatic operation
The electronic parking brake en -

applied automatically. Manual mode
must be used.
For certain country-specific model ver-
sions, the automatic brake application
function is not activated. Refer to the in-
formation on “Manual operation”.

Advice: antipollution and fuel economy
aDVICe: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life which will come
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac -
turer is actively striving to reduce pol -
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main -
tained and used correctly.aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to
optimise consumption, an indicator light
on the instrument panel will inform you
of the best moment to upshift or down -
shift gears:
\ shift up a gear;
[ shift down a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to
respect antipollution regulations could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu -
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations. Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
engine adjustments–
ignition: this does not require ad -
justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be
changed, use the make, type and
gap specified for your vehicle’s
engine. Contact an approved dealer
for this.
– idle: this does not require adjust -
ment.
– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-

aBS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi -
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par -
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
Driver correction devices and aids

Depending on the vehicle, they may
comprise:
– t h e aB S ( a n t i - l o c k b r a k i n g
system);
– eSC (electronic stability program)
with understeer control and a SR
traction control;
– emergency brake assist with, de -
pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;
– rear wheel steering.
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu -
late the force applied in the braking
system.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. they do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil -
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).

However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
