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.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “Fuel tank” in section 1 before
restarting the engine.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.

Fuel gauge warning light A
Warning lights A (4 green lights and
1 red light) indicate the level in the LPG
tank (1 light = approximately 1/5).
The red warning light indicates the fuel
tank.
The amount of LPG indicated is an in-
dicative value.
The red warning light indicates that
the tank is almost empty and that the
engine is operating using the fuel tank
(approximately 11 to 13 litres).
SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (1/3)
LPG vehicles
These vehicles operate using petrol or
LPG.
They have two separate tanks.
What is LPG?
LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum
Gas.
It can be readily identified by its charac-
teristic smell.
An LPG installation on a ve-
hicle may lead to changes
to the vehicle’s features,
compared to petrol ver-
sions. This may relate to the number
of seats, mass (usable capacity)
and towing capacity.
Contact an authorised dealer.
LPG/petrol fuel mode selection
control C
This enables the driver to switch from
one fuel to another.
Green warning light D
A lit warning light indicates that LPG
mode is selected,
Yellow warning light B
A lit warning light indicates that petrol
mode is selected.
If the yellow warning light is
on while the green warning
light flashes slowly and a
beep is heard, please take
your vehicle to an authorised dealer
for inspection.

Changing fuel while driving
You are recommended to use the fuel
mode selection control C once the vehi-
cle is started.
To switch from petrol to LPG
Press control C. The vehicle will switch
to LPG the next time the accelerator
pedal is pressed.
The LPG fuel level A is activated. The

To switch from LPG to petrol.
Release the accelerator pedal and
press the control C.
Petrol mode is indicated by the yellow
warning light B.
Automatic switch to petrol
The system automatically switches to
petrol mode if there is no more LPG
remaining in the tank. You will be in-
formed by:
– the green D and yellow B warning
lights coming on;
– a beep sounds.
Pressing control C stops the beep from
sounding and only the yellow warning
light B stays on. Operating fault
In the event of a fault which may affect
the correct operation of the engine, the
system automatically switches from
LPG to petrol mode.
This is confirmed by:
– the appearance of the yellow warn-
ing light B;
– slow flashing of the green warning light D;
– a beep sounds.
If the yellow warning light is
on while the green warning
light flashes slowly and a
beep is heard, please take
your vehicle to an authorised dealer

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (3/3)
If driving under severe
conditions
If driving under severe conditions
(heavily laden vehicle, high outside
temperature, starting on a steep slope,
etc), you are recommended to switch to
petrol mode.
In the event of an accident
The main precautions to be taken are
the same as with petrol vehicles:
– apply the handbrake;
– stop the engine (a safety device that stops LPG from entering the engine
is automatically triggered);
– switch off the ignition;
– observe local regulations.
LPG has a very specific
smell so you will be able to
detect any leaks easily. If
you smell gas in your vehi-
cle or immediately surrounding your
vehicle:
– switch to petrol mode immedi- ately and make sure there are no
flames or sources of fire near the
vehicle;
– go to an authorised dealer.
Do not touch, hit or dis-
mantle any part of the LPG
system components.

Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– 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.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– 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.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/4)
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption. Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– 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 at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow. –
In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
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.
– 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.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life which will come
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac-
turer is actively striving to reduce pol-
lutant 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 fai-
lure to respect antipollution regulations
could lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel
supply system and exhaust compo-
nents with parts other than those origi-
nally recommended by the manufactu-
rer may alter your vehicle so that it no
longer complies with antipollution regu-
lations.
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
– Spark plugs:
for optimum condi-
tions of use, output 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
authorised dealer for this.
– Air filter: a choked element will reduce efficiency. It must be re-
placed.
– Ignition and idle speed: no adjust-
ment is needed.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’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:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an approved Dealer as soon as pos-
sible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
