ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi- tioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (es- pecially in city conditions) when it is used. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing fuel consumption and therefore help- ing to protect the environment:
– It is advisable to drive with the air
vents open and the windows closed.
– 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 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 will increase fuel consumption by 4% at a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h). –
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.

Environnement
ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with the aim of caring for the environment.
– Most versions are equipped with a
particle filter system including a cat- alytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the fuel tank being released into the open air.)
–
These vehicles operate with un- leaded fuel only.
– 87% of the parts in your vehicle
can
be recycled and it already contains parts made using recycled materi- als.
– 95% of the plastic components
in your vehicle are marked with a symbol which allows the principal component material to be identified. These markings mean that parts re- moved can be sorted more easily, making it easier to recycle them.
In addition to this, your vehicle meets the requirements laid down in European legislation relating to environmental protection.
Make your contribution towards pro- tection of the environment too.
Do not dispose of parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (battery, oil filter, air filter, etc.) and oil containers (empty or full of used oil) with household waste.
Dispose of them through specialist or- ganisations. In all cases, comply with local legislation.

Air conditioning controls(depending on vehicle)
Control
E switches the air conditioning on or off.
The system cannot be switched on if
control A is set to 0.
Using the air conditioning system enables you to:
– lower the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– e l i m i n a t e c o n d e n s a t i o n m o r e
quickly.
Fuel consumption increases when the air conditioning system is being used. (Switch it off when it is not required.)
Note: The air conditioning may be used in all conditions but does not operate when the external temperature is low.
– Button

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in town) when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing fuel consumption and therefore help- ing to protect the environment:It is advisable to drive with the vents open and the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for the in- spection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your approved dealer in the event of an operating fault.
No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set cor- rectly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.
Do not open the refriger- ant fluid circuit. The fluid may damage the eyes or skin.
Presence of water under the ve- hicle. After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the ve- hicle. This is caused by condensa- tion.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
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 atmospheres (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 vehicles, 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.
You should not:
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.
– Scrape off mud or dirt without pre
- wetting.
– 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 frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without washing the vehicle, particularly under the wheel arches and body. –
Degrease or clean mechanical com
- ponents (e.g. engine compartment), underneath the body, parts with hinges (e.g. fuel filler cap, inside of filler flap, sunroof, etc.) and painted external plastic fittings (e.g. bump- ers) using high-pressure cleaning equipment or using spray products not approved by the Technical Department. If adequate precautions are not taken, this could give rise to corrosion or operational faults.

Repriming the fuel circuit
After filling when the fuel has com- pletely run out, it is necessary to bleed the air or drain the circuit before starting your vehicle.
The peripheral components (alter- nator, starter, engine mountings, etc.) should be protected against splashes of fuel.
When carrying out opera- tions near the engine, re- member it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Repriming
Work bulb 1 until the fuel runs into
pipe 2.
