FUEL TANK (2/3)
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must conform
with the specifications given on the
label inside the fuel filler flap A.
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that
conforms to the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A.
Filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle to open valve B and
insert it fully before turning it on to fill
the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Hold it in this position for the whole fill-
ing operation. Following the first auto -
matic shut-off at the end of filling, the
trigger can be pulled two more times at
most, to leave room for expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. Valve B and its sur -
round must remain clean.
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 contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
Persistent smell of fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon
as traffic conditions allow and
switch off the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi -
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es -
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo -
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are not
really needed.
However (safety first), keep your
lights on when the visibility is bad
(“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –
Avoid using the vehicle for door-to -
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
– insufficient pressure,
– using non-recommended tyres.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/2)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer -
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig -
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Operating faults
– Warning light x lights up on the
instrument panel: the ABS is deacti-
vated.
Braking safety is still guaranteed.
–
x and D are lit on the in -
strument panel, this indicates a
fault in the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

Bodywork maintenance
BODyWORK MAINTENANCE (1/3)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad -
visable to maintain the vehicle exterior
regularly.
Protection against the effects
of corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion prod -
ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to
the effects of:
– corrosives in the atmosphere
– atmospheric pollution (urban and
industrial areas);
– saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather);
– seasonal and damp climatic con-
ditions, (e.g.: road salt in winter,
water from road cleaners, etc.).
– abrasives
Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other vehi -
cles, etc.
– minor impacts
You should take a minimum number of
precautions in order to safeguard your
vehicle against such risks and not to
lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti -
corrosion protection.
y ou should not:
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents, underneath the body, parts
with hinges (eg. fuel filler cap, inside
the fuel flap) and painted plastic ex-
ternal fittings (eg. bumpers) using
high-pressure cleaning equipment
or by spraying on products not ap -
proved by our Technical Department.
If adequate precautions are not
taken, this could cause corrosion or
lead to operational faults.
– Aim a high pressure water jet directly
onto damaged parts of the vehicle
(eg. painted bumpers, lights, etc.).
Wash these parts carefully by hand.
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures. –
Use hard brushes to clean alloy
wheels. These can scratch or
damage the wheel’s protective coat-
ing.
– Scrape off mud or dirt without
prewetting.
– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
– Use solvents not approved by the
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
– Drive when the vehicle is muddy or
covered in snow (the wheel arches,
underneath the body, radiator, etc.
must always be free from mud or
snow).
It is forbidden to wash the engine compartment using a high-pressure
water jet: this risks damaging the electrical/electronic components in the
engine compartment.
A label affixed in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

BODyWORK MAINTENANCE (2/3)
y ou should
–
Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
– Always follow the recommenda -
tions supplied with the high-pressure
cleaning equipment (jet distance and
pressure).
– Before using a roller type car wash,
put the windscreen wiper stalk in
Park position (refer information
on the “Windscreen wash/wipe” in
Section 1), check that the external
accessories, additional lights, and
mirrors are securely fitted and that
the wiper blades and radio aerial are
taped down.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing. –
Wash your vehicle frequently with
the engine off , using shampoo ap -
proved by our Technical Department
(never use abrasive products) and
rinse thoroughly using a warm or
cold water jet (never hot):
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– the layer of dust or mud and any
insects;
– bird droppings , which contain
chemicals that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off ;
Wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol -
ishing; –
salt deposited in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after
driving in areas where the roads
are chemically treated;
– mud in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
– Clean mud and sand from the
wheels, in particular the inside of the
wheels and the brakes, as this can:
– reduce the braking efficiency and
damage the components of the
braking system;
– cause vibrations in the bodywork
and steering column.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from approved dealer
accessory outlets.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located in the
boot. –
press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (check
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver’s door);
– after a maximum of 5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on
the pressure gauge 4);
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pres -
sure gauge 4 will briefly indicate a
pressure of 6 bar, then the pressure
will drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase
it, continue inflating with the kit, to
reduce it, turn button 7 located on
the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the vehi-
cle but contact an approved dealer .
