proximately.
To open the compartment, place your
finger into recess 2, then pull the cover.
For details on filling the fuel tank, refer
to the information on “Filling with fuel”
on the next page.
Cap holder 1 is provided on the fuel
filler flap for holding the cap when the
tank is being filled.

Fuel grade
Use a high grade fuel with the appro-
priate octane rating as defined by the
particular standards in force in your
country.
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must con -
form with the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A . Refer
to the information on “Engine specifica-
tions” in Section 6.
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific to the vehicle type. If
you have to replace it, make
sure the new cap is of the
same type. Contact an approved
Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Filling with fuel
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.
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.

After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.

Advice on antipollution and fuel economy
ADVIcE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle conforms to current antipol-
lution regulations. The manufacturer
is actively striving to reduce pollutant
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.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: a choked element will
reduce efficiency. It must be re -
placed.

adjusting automatic mode
The system normally operates in auto-
matic mode but you can alter the stand-
ard settings used by the system (air
distribution, etc.). These options are
explained on the following pages.
automatic mode is the recom -
mended mode of use
In most cases, the automatic cli -
mate control system ensures a com-
fortable temperature in the passen -
ger compartment, while maintaining
good visibility and optimising fuel
consumption.
The types of adjustments that can
be made are described in the follow -
ing pages.
Return to automatic mode as soon
as possible.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas -
ing or decreasing the value dis -
played will not allow the com -
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.

t yre safety and use of snow chains:
Refer to the information on “Tyres” in
Section 5 for the servicing conditions
and, depending on the version, the use
of chains.
When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, size, type
and profile should be used on a single axle.
t yres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those recommended by your approved
dealer.

octane Rating It is
essential that you use unleaded petrol of the octane rating stated on the label inside the fuel
filler flap.
If not available, for a limited time only, use unleaded fuel:
– with an octane rating of 91 for a label showing 95 or 98;
– with an octane rating of 87 for a label showing 91, 95 or 98.
spark plugs Only use the spark plugs specified for your vehicle’s engine.
The type should be marked on a label affixed inside the engine compartment. If it is not then contact
your approved dealer.
Fitting spark plugs which are not to specification may damage the engine.
