FUEL TANK (continued)
Diesel vehicle
When the vehicle is adapted (indicated
on the label A), you may use diesel containing a maximum of 30% bio ad- ditives (fatty acid methyl ester).Otherwise, use diesel containing a maximum of 10% bio additives.Special note: do not use fuel with more than 10% bio additives if the tempera- ture is below 0°C.
Filling with fuel
Petrol version
Only use unleaded petrol.
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.
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 traf- fic;
– refrain from working on or restart
-
ing the vehicle before it has been inspected by qualified staff from the approved dealer network.
No modifications what- soever are permitted on any part of the fuel supply system (computers, wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protection
covers, etc.) as this may be danger- ous (such work must be undertaken by qualified Network personnel).

RUNNING IN
Petrol version
For the first 600 miles (1,000 km), do not exceed 78 mph (130 km/h) in the highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
After 600 miles (1,000 km), you may use your vehicle normally. However, it is only after 1,800 miles (3,000 km) have been covered that you may rea- sonably expect full performance.
Service intervals: refer to the Mainte- nance Service Booklet for your vehicle.
Diesel version
For the first 900 miles (1,500 km), do not exceed 2,500 rpm. After complet- ing this mileage you may drive faster, although you may only expect top p e r f o r m a n c e a f t e r a p p r o x i m a t e l y 3,600 miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do not ac- celerate hard while the engine is still cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals: refer to the Mainte- nance Service Booklet for your vehicle.

Turn the ignition key to ignition “On” po- sition M, and hold this position until the preheating warning light goes out.
Turn the key to starter position D with- out depressing the accelerator pedal.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
Starting the engine
Special feature on vehicles equipped with an engine immobiliser system
In very cold conditions (temperatures below –20°C): so that it is easier to start the engine, switch on the ignition for several seconds before starting the engine.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not activated. Refer to the information on the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Petrol injection
Engine warm or cold
– Turn the key to the start position
without depressing the accelera- tor.
– Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
Mise en route / Arrêt du moteur
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside when leaving a child (or \
animal) in the car, even for a short period.
The reason for this is that the child may endanger himself or others by starting the engine, activating equipment such
as the window winders for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo, power assisted steering and passive safety equipment such as air bags wi\
ll no longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key is removed.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit up,
– using leaded petrol,
– using oil or fuel additives which are
not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
spark plug disconnected resulting in engine misfiring and hesitation when driving,
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to overheat, reducing its efficiency which may irreparably damage it and cause heat damage to the vehicle.
If you notice any of the above operat- ing faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by your approved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to your approved dealer at the intervals specified in your Maintenance Service Booklet.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con- verter, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the start button, or by pushing or towing the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not continue to try and start the engine, but contact an approved dealer.
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 a hot exhaust system.

– Study the road ahead so that you are able to brake as little as possible, it can be sufficient just to lift off the ac- celerator.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in
- termediate gears. Always use the highest gear possible without labour- ing the engine.
– 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 water is above the lower edge of the wheel
rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’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:
T h i s c o m e s o n w h e n t h e i g n i- tion is switched on and goes out after three seconds.
– 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 your approved dealer as soon as possible.
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.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)

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.

GEAR LEVER
To select reverse gear(vehicle stationary)
Move the lever to neutral, then follow
the gate shown on knob 1.
The reversing light will come on as soon as reverse gear is selected (igni- tion on).
In the event of an impact to the subframe of the ve- hicle when reversing (ex- ample: contact with a bol- lard, raised pavement or any other
object) the vehicle may be damaged (damage to the rear axle).
To prevent any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved dealer.
