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).

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.

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.

Particularités des versions diesel
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec- tion pump which prevents the engine speed being exceeded irrespective of the gear selected.
Running out of fuel
You may start the engine normally after refilling the fuel tank even if you have completely run out of fuel, provided that the battery is well-charged.
However, if the engine fails to start after a few seconds and several attempts, contact an approved dealer.
Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any 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 a hot exhaust system.

Conseils antipollution, économies de carburant
The manufacturer is acively striving to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle conforms to current antipollu- tion regulations. Technical design, how- ever, cannot achieve all. The fuel con- sumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are very much within your control. Make sure that your vehicle is maintained correctly, and is driven carefully.
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect antipollution regulations may 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 checked and ad- justed by your approved dealer in ac- cordance with the instructions in your Maintenance Service Booklet.
Your approved dealer has 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 as soon as possi- ble.
–
idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
–
air filter, diesel filter: a choked el- ement hinders performance. It must be replaced.
