INSTRUMENT PANEL: warning lights (continued)
êEngine immobiliser system warning light
This light performs several functions.
Refer to the information on the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
6
Electronic fault or preheat- ing warning light
Preheating warning light
This light should come on when the ig- nition key is in position M; it indicates that the heater plugs are in operation.
It goes out when preheating is complete and the engine can be started.
Electronic fault warning light
If it remains lit or comes on when you are driving, it indicates an electrical or electronic fault. Contact an approved Dealer as soon as possible.
ÚBattery charge warning light
It should go out as soon as the engine starts.
If it comes on when you are driving, it indicates that the circuit is overcharging or has discharged. Stop and contact an approved Dealer.
ÄToxic Fume Filter System
w arning Light
On equipped vehicles, the light comes on when the ignition is switched on then goes out.
– 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 possible.
Refer to the information “Advice on antipollution, fuel economy and driving” in Section 2.
The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.
ÔCoolant temperature warn- ing light
This goes out as soon as the engine starts. If it comes on when driving, it in- dicates an increase in coolant tempera- ture. Stop and let the engine idle for a minute or two; the temperature should fall. Otherwise, stop the engine, let it cool and check the coolant level.
If the level is normal, the indicator light is being lit by something else. Contact an approved Dealer.
ÀOil pressure warning light
It goes out as soon as the engine starts; if it lights up when you are driving, it is essential to stop and switch off the ignition. Check the oil level.
If the level is normal, the indicator light is being lit by something else. Contact an approved Dealer.

FUEL TANK
Capacity of the fuel tank: 50 litres ap- proximately.
Depending on the vehicle, the cap
1 may be unlocked with the ignition key.
For details on filling the fuel tank, refer to the information on “Filling with fuel”.
There is a cap holder on the fuel filler flap for holding the cap when the tank is being filled.
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.
Fuel grade
Use a high grade fuel that complies with the standards currently in force in each country.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must conform with the specifications given on the
label inside the fuel filler flap A.
Refer to the “Engine specifications” table in section 6.
v ehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
Always use unleaded petrol or fuel containing a maximum of 85 percent ethanol (E85).
Note: you may notice an increase in fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
When the fuel is changed the engine must adjust, which may cause minor in- conveniences for a few minutes (longer starting times, cutting out, etc.).
1
A
Do not mix even small amounts of petrol (unleaded or E85) with diesel.Do not use ethanol based fuel or diesel containing more than 10% bio additives if your vehicle is not adapted to these fuels.

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.

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.
