SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection 
equipment which prevents the engine 
speed being exceeded irrespective of 
the gear selected.
If the message “CHECK ANTI-
POLLUTION SYSTEM” is displayed 
along with warning lights 
Ä and 
©, consult an authorised dealer 
immediately.
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 drai-
ned, the system must be reprimed after 
the tank is refilled: see information on 
the “fuel tank” in section 1 before res-
tarting the engine.
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible subs-
tances or materials such 
as grass or leaves can come into 
contact with the hot exhaust system.
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 re- latively full to avoid water vapour 
condensing in it and accumulating at 
the bottom of the tank.
