xAnti-lock braking warning 
light
This lights up when the ignition is 
switched on and goes out after a few 
seconds.
If it lights up when you are driving, it in-
dicates a fault in the anti-lock braking 
system.
Braking will then be as normal, without 
the ABS. Contact an approved Dealer 
as soon as possible.
ÔCoolant temperature warn-
ing light
This comes on when the ignition is 
switched on.
If it turns red, stop and let the engine 
idle for a minute or two.
The temperature should lower and the 
warning light should return to a blue 
colour. If not, stop the engine. Let the 
engine cool down before checking the 
coolant.
Contact an approved Dealer.

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.

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 repro-
cessed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel 
consumption and initial settings, your 
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufactu-
rer is actively striving to reduce pollu-
tant 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 maintai-
ned 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 chec-
ked by an approved Dealer, in accor-
dance 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 
approved dealer for this.
–  Air filter, diesel filter: a choked ele-ment will reduce efficiency. It must be 
replaced.
–  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 subs-
tances may be released into the atmos-
phere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the ins-
trument 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. 

2.19
ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to 
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) 
while in use, and therefore to consume 
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a 
particle filter system including a cata-
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and 
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-
vents vapour from the fuel tank being 
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system 
also has a particle filter to reduce the 
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own 
contribution towards 
protecting the environment 
too
–  Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or 
filled with used oil) must be disposed 
of through specialist organisations. –  At the end of the vehicle’s service 
life, it should be sent to approved 
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
–  In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of 
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled. 
The materials and structures have 
been carefully designed to allow these 
components to be easily removed and 
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable 
or animal-derived materials such as 
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with 
respect for the environment in mind for 
its entire service life: during production, 
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of 
the manufacturer eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at 
a factory which complies with a policy 
to reduce the environmental impact 
on the surrounding areas (reduction of 
water and energy consumption, visual 
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste). 

3.11
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid 
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in 
fuel consumption (especially in town) 
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning 
with no automatic mode, switch off the 
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption 
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
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 moments 
to let the hot air escape before starting 
the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document 
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
–  Reduction in de-icing, demisting  or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
–  No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound. 
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the 
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water 
to be present under the vehicle. This is 
caused by condensation.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning 
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may 
notice that condensation starts to form 
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear 
View” function to remove it, then use 
the air conditioning in automatic mode 
to stop it forming again.
