FUEL TANK (2/2)
Filling with fuel
petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
valve which only allows the nozzle
for unleaded petrol to be used (at the
pump).
– Insert the nozzle as far as it will go
so that the valve is opened.
– Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling opera -
tion. petrol and diesel versions
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi
-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
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).
persistent smell of
fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers
to leave the vehicle and to keep
away from traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.

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 antipollution
system” is displayed on the instrument
panel accompanied by the
Ä and
© warning lights; consult an ap -
proved dealer straight away.
v ehicle with particle filter
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.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid 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.
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.

ADvIce: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
Driving
– Drive carefully for the first few miles
until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub -
stances may be released into the at -
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in -
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult
your approved dealer as soon as
possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible. –
Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad -
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi -
ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through floods
if the depth of water is
above the lower edge of the
wheel rims.
Driving problems
On the driver’s side, only use mats adapted to the vehicle that attach to
the pre-installed parts, and regularly check their mounting. Do not place
several mats on top of each other.
Risk of pedals jamming .
